Sound & Tone
The chambered mahogany body with flamed maple cap and 24.75" scale gives this EC-1000T CTM a warm, thick midrange with the added air and resonance chambering brings, while the Macassar ebony board and stainless steel frets keep note attack crisp and defined. The Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers cover a lot of ground via their tri-voiced push-pull controls, moving from smoother vintage humbucker warmth to brighter, higher-output punch and a thinner single-coil voice for cleaner passages. It suits classic and modern rock, hard rock and metal rhythm work, with enough clarity and upper-fret access for lead playing and clean tones when needed.
ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM Guitar See Thru Black Cherry B-Stock
The EC-1000T CTM This chambered mahogany design gives you the resonance and sustain you need on stage while keeping the instrument responsive and quick to react. The flamed maple top and translucent See Thru Black Cherry finish grab attention under stage lights, and the set-thru construction brings the tonal authority that cuts through a live mix and carries in the studio.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Humbucker pickups with tri-voiced push-pull controls give you three distinct voicings—two traditional humbucker tones plus a single-coil mode—so you can dial in everything from warm, clear vintage response to bright, punchy output that drives your amp. The Tonepros Locking TOM bridge and tailpiece combined with LTD locking tuners lock in your tuning rock-solid, night after night, keeping your intonation tight whether you're at home or on the road.
Playability & Construction
The set-thru neck construction in 3-piece mahogany with thin U contour lets you navigate the upper frets without strain, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius and 24 XJ stainless steel frets handle smooth legato runs and aggressive picking with equal ease. Multi-ply binding on the body top and back reinforces the construction and adds visual refinement that photographs well and feels solid under your hand.
