ESP LTD M-1000 Electric Guitar Candy Apple Red B-Stock
The M-1000 is built for players who need a reliable, high-performance instrument night after night. A neck-thru-body design with an extra-thin U-shaped neck and compound radius puts fast lead work and open chords within comfortable reach. The reverse headstock and alder body deliver visual impact on stage while maintaining the tonal clarity and sustain demanded by working musicians. Precision hardware, high-output pickups, and professional-grade components throughout mean you can focus on the gig, not gear worries.
Playability & Construction
The three-piece maple neck and macassar ebony fingerboard with black binding provide the structural solidity needed for consistent performance under pressure. Twenty-four extra-jumbo stainless steel frets feel smooth and responsive, while the compound radius fingerboard (300–400mm) supports both open chord voicings and rapid single-note passages without sacrificing comfort. Offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays cut through stage and studio lighting, keeping you oriented at a glance.
Tone & Electronics
Direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers with alnico magnets in the neck position deliver warmth and definition, while ceramic in the bridge provides the aggression and cut needed to cut through a mix. Push-pull controls unlock a secondary voicing on each pickup, letting you expand your sonic range without cluttering the control panel. The Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge with stainless steel screws holds tuning rock-solid through aggressive playing techniques and dive-bomb abuse.
