Description
ESP LTD EC-1001 FM Fluence Lefty Guitar in Tiger Eye
This left-handed EC-1001 FM sits perfectly in your hands with a contoured body built for long sessions and a fast, responsive neck that cuts through any mix. The set-thru mahogany neck and thin U contour let your fingers move freely across the fretboard with minimal effort, while the Tiger Eye flamed maple top commands attention on stage and in the studio. Built to withstand the demands of professional gigging, this guitar combines striking aesthetics with rock-solid reliability and pure playing comfort.
Playability & Construction
The 3-piece mahogany neck with set-thru construction and thin U contour locks in fast access to upper frets and delivers sustained notes that ring clearly for extended periods. A 24.75" scale and macassar ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius and 24 XJ stainless steel frets handle everything from tight alternate picking to smooth bends, with fret consistency that keeps intonation stable gig after gig.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Humbucker pickups at neck and bridge respond precisely to your pick attack and finger dynamics, delivering clarity that cuts through a mix without harshness. Independent push/pull volume controls on both channels combined with push/pull tone control and a three-way toggle give you real-time tonal flexibility—dial in chiming cleans, drive-friendly crunch, or high-gain aggression without touching pedals or swapping guitars.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Fluence pickups different, and can I really split coils with them?
The Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Humbuckers are voiced for modern clarity and articulation with extended dynamic range. Both volume controls are push/pull, so you can split each pickup independently for single-coil tone, and the tone control is also push/pull, giving you multiple tonal palettes without switching pickups.
Is this guitar suitable for both studio recording and live gigging?
Yes. The set-thru mahogany neck, locking Tonepros bridge, and locking tuners provide excellent sustain and tuning stability for studio sessions and touring. The Fluence pickups deliver the articulate, modern clarity needed for both studio tracking and live high-gain applications.
What genres does this guitar handle best?
It excels in hard rock, metal, and progressive music. The 24.75" scale, aggressive fret access, and high-gain-capable pickup system are built for these styles; it is not optimized for traditional jazz or folk applications.
How does the thin U neck contour and 350mm radius fingerboard affect playability?
The thin U contour creates a fast, comfortable grip for extended fretting sessions and aggressive technique. The 350mm radius provides a modern compound feel that supports both precise intonation and wide vibrato without dead spots across the 24-fret range.
Why choose this left-handed model over a standard right-handed EC-1001?
Left-handed players get the exact same professional-grade construction, set-thru mahogany neck, Fluence electronics, and playability as the right-handed version—no compromise in quality or ergonomics for your orientation.
