zZounds Gear Experts Say...

With a mahogany body and neck and Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups, this guitar delivers the powerful tone you'd expect from ESP.

Overview

A new variety is now available in ESP's world-famous LTD Deluxe EC-1000 line. The new EC-1000T (BLK) and EC-1000T (FCSB) represent a more traditional look and feel to the classic single-cutaway body shape... it has a slightly thicker body, no waist cut, and a 22 extra-jumbo fret neck (as opposed to the 24 frets on most EC models).

The black-finished EC-1000T (BLK) uses a set-neck construction on a 24.75" scale. The guitar has a mahogany body, mahogany neck (with a thin-U contour), and rosewood fingerboard with abalone flag inlays. Abalone purfling is on the guitar's headstock, neck, body. Its gold hardware includes ESP locking tuners and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece. Other high-performance components include an EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 60 (neck) active pickups.

The EC-1000T (FCSB) is the same body shape, with a sumptuous faded cherry sunburst finish. The new FCSB model also includes creme single binding (on headstock, body, and neck), and a flamed maple top over its mahogany body. Nickel hardware includes the covers on its Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups, along with the guitar's ESP locking tuners and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece.

I needed a Les Paul style guitar to take on a string of shows where I figured the guitar wouldn't come home with me. Great features and great craftsmanship. Only a basic setup to suit my tastes was needed and I removed the covers from the Duncans to brighten up the sound. I also installed some coil splits because the Duncans are 4 conductor and the tones are all very usable. She plays and sounds amazing. It puts my Gibson Les Paul Standards to shame. I've beat the crap out of it and it looks like it was thrown out of a moving vehicle but it's still solid and sounds great.
