Description
ESP LTD RS-1000 Pearl White Electric Guitar — B-Stock
The RS-1000 is built for gigging musicians and stage performers who demand a lightweight, supremely playable platform anchored by its extra-thin U neck profile and 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard. The neck-through mahogany construction with three-piece maple reinforcement creates solid sustain and resonance while maintaining exceptional comfort during extended playing sessions. This instrument strikes a refined balance between aggressive aesthetics and refined ergonomic design, finished in striking Pearl White with a matching reverse headstock.
Playability & Feel
The extra-thin U neck profile paired with a 13.7-inch fingerboard radius facilitates fast, fluid lead work across the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. The 24.75" scale length provides articulate note definition while keeping string tension manageable, and the neck-through construction ensures zero dead spots and uninhibited fret access all the way to the upper register. On stage or in the studio, the neck delivers consistent playability night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The pairing of EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck) active pickups with direct-mount design captures aggressive, articulate highs and warm, compressed lows essential for modern rock and metal applications. The Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws maintains tuning stability through demanding whammy bar work, while the locking nut eliminates slippage at the headstock—critical reliability for touring and frequent gigging.
