ESP LTD EC-1000VB Duncan Vintage Black Electric Guitar B-Stock

ESP LTD EC-1000VB Duncan Vintage Black Electric Guitar B-Stock

The EC-1000VB Duncan delivers a comfortable, fast-playing experience with its Thin U neck contour and 24.75" scale, making it equally suited to rhythm work and extended lead passages. Set-thru construction provides seamless upper-fret access and enhanced sustain, while the elegant Vintage Black finish and gold hardware strike a balance between classic aesthetics and modern performance. This B-Stock unit may show minor cosmetic marks, but structural integrity and playability remain uncompromised.

Playability & Construction

Built with set-thru construction, a resonant mahogany body, and a stable 3-piece mahogany neck, this guitar excels at sustain and upper-fret accessibility. The Macassar ebony fingerboard, combined with 24 XJ stainless steel frets and a 350mm fingerboard radius, provides fast attack and durability for both smooth bends and articulate passages, while the Thin U neck contour ensures comfortable handling for extended play sessions.

Tone & Electronics

The pairing of a Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup and Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup offers versatile tonal range—punchy mids and cutting leads from the JB, warm clarity from the '59. A push-pull tone control enables coil splitting, expanding the sonic palette from full humbucker power to single-coil sparkle, while passive electronics and a 3-way toggle switch keep operation straightforward and reliable. LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece ensure excellent tuning stability and sustain.

As a B-Stock instrument it carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish — a small finish mark with no effect on playability, tone or structure — which is why it sells for less than a first-quality unit. The exact blemish varies from unit to unit, so it is not described or pictured here; photos show the model, not the individual unit. It is new, unplayed and covered by the full manufacturer warranty.
