ESP LTD EC-1000ET Evertune Electric Guitar Bold Binding
The EC-1000ET sits perfectly balanced across your body with its thin U-profile neck that stays comfortable through marathon gigs and studio days without fatigue creeping in. This set-thru construction guitar pairs professional-grade hardware with the Evertune F-model bridge, which locks your intonation tight across the entire fingerboard—no drift, no matter how hard you dig in or what tuning tricks you throw at it. The bold metallic silver binding catches stage lights and announces premium craftsmanship while the satin black finish keeps things workmanlike and road-ready.
Playability & Construction
The set-thru mahogany neck with 3-piece construction delivers rock-solid sustain and tonal coherence from open strings to the highest frets. 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and a 350mm fingerboard radius are built for aggressive bend work and modern technique without limitation. The Macassar ebony fingerboard, 42mm molded nut, and thin U neck contour form an ergonomic platform that keeps your hand fresh through long sets and complex passage work.
Tone & Live Reliability
The EMG 60TW-R brushed chrome neck pickup with pull-tone splitting capability paired with the EMG 81 brushed chrome bridge pickup covers everything from articulate cleans to aggressive saturated tones across all registers. The active electronics layout—Bridge Volume, Neck Volume, Tone with push/pull, and toggle switch—gives you surgical control over your sound on stage without menu-diving complications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Evertune bridge different from a standard bridge?
The Evertune F-model bridge maintains perfect intonation across the entire fingerboard regardless of playing dynamics or tuning demands, eliminating the need to retune between takes or during aggressive live playing. This is especially valuable for studio sessions and touring when you need consistent pitch stability.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The combination of set-thru construction, 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, EMG 60TW and 81 active pickups, and 350mm fingerboard radius is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, and progressive styles. The aggressive low-end punch and articulate high-end definition support modern playing techniques and heavy tones.
What is the neck profile like, and will it suit long playing sessions?
The thin U-profile neck with 3-piece mahogany construction and perfectly balanced weight distribution reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions. The 42mm molded nut and ergonomic contour provide comfortable fretting access without compromising stability.
What pickups are installed, and can I shape the tone?
The guitar ships with an EMG 60TW-R brushed chrome neck pickup with pull-tone splitting capability and an EMG 81 brushed chrome bridge pickup. Active electronics include separate bridge and neck volume controls, a tone control with push/pull function, and a toggle switch for comprehensive tonal shaping without excessive complexity.
What finish and binding does this model feature?
The EC-1000ET features a bold extra-thick metallic silver binding with a satin black body finish, giving it a refined, workmanlike appearance that announces premium character on stage or in the studio.
