Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and quilted maple top with set-thru construction give this EC a warm, sustaining foundation, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and 24.75" scale add tight attack and a slinkier, thicker-sounding string feel. The active EMG-81 in the bridge is aggressive and treble-forward with plenty of punch for high-gain rhythm work and cutting leads, and the EMG-60TW-R neck pickup leans warmer through the mids, with its coil split thinning things out for cleaner, more open passages. It's a natural fit for metal, hard rock and modern heavy styles where clarity under distortion matters, but the coil-split and independent volume controls make it flexible enough for cleaner rhythm playing and melodic solo tones too.
ESP LTD EC-1000QM See Thru Purple Sunburst Lefty Guitar
The EC-1000QM is a professional-grade semi-hollow body built for left-handed players who demand dependable stage performance and articulate tone. The thin U neck contour and 24.75" scale ensure smooth playability across all 24 stainless steel frets, while the set-through body design locks in solid sustain and resonance without the extra weight of a solid-body instrument. This lefthand configuration delivers the full specification and build quality of ESP LTD's flagship EC line—no compromises for the southpaw player.
Construction & Playability
Built with a mahogany body, quilted maple top, and 3-piece mahogany neck, the guitar balances weight and tonal warmth with structural rigidity for road use. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 350mm radius and thin U contour delivers quick access across the fretboard for both lead and rhythm playing, while the 42mm molded nut maintains consistent string spacing and tuning stability night to night.
Electronics & Tone
Active EMG electronics cut through live mix with clarity and punch: the EMG-81 bridge pickup delivers aggressive treble and defined attack for drive-heavy styles, while the EMG-60TW-R neck pickup with pull-tap coil split provides warm, articulate mid-range response for cleaner voicings. The control layout—bridge volume, neck volume, tone with push/pull capability, and three-way toggle—sits within arm's reach for intuitive adjustment on stage without twisting around the body.
