ESP LTD H3-1000 Guitar See Thru Purple Sunburst B-Stock
The H3-1000 sits naturally in your hands with its thin U-contoured neck and set-thru construction that gets you to the upper frets without wrestling the body. This B-stock example shows only minor cosmetic wear while maintaining the full playability and tonal character of the original specification. The flamed maple top and see-thru purple sunburst finish create striking visual appeal without compromising the instrument's core performance.
Playability & Feel
A 25.5" scale with 24 stainless steel XJ frets feels right at home for players moving between modern platforms, while the thin U neck contour balances speed with grip security. The set-thru construction locks in excellent sustain and neck stability under your hands, and the 350mm fingerboard radius on Macassar ebony delivers both comfort and precision for lead work and chording alike.
Tone & Electronics
The pairing of Seymour Duncan Sentient (neck) and Seymour Duncan Pegasus (bridge) pickups delivers articulate, defined tones across the board, with the push-pull coil split on the tone control unlocking additional voice options for live switching. A Tonepros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design holds intonation tight while maximizing resonance through the mahogany body, and LTD locking tuners stay locked under aggressive playing and touring demands.

Set-thru construction anchors the neck deep into the body, promoting seamless upper-fret access and excellent sustain while maintaining neck stability. This design maximizes resonance through the mahogany body and is favored on shredding and lead-oriented instruments.
