The ESP LTD EC-1000 Full Thickness Guitar is designed to offer the tone, feel, looks, and quality that working professional musicians need in an instrument. You can break down the EC-1000T CTM EverTune as follows. The ‘T’ is for its traditional full-thickness classic single-cutaway mahogany body shape, with no waist cut. The ‘CTM’ is for its custom multi-ply binding, situated on both the front and back or the body as well as neck and headstock. The EverTune is its innovative constant tension bridge system that keeps your guitar in perfect tuning, and perfect intonation up and down the fingerboard, in nearly any conceivable environment. The aesthetic design of this tough-looking guitar is detailed all the way down to the matching gold saddles of the EverTune, the black thumbwheels on its LTD locking tuners, and the black pickup rings on its set of Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker pickups. These pickups, with voicings you can select with push-pull controls, offer everything from vintage PAF tones through airy chimes through classic hot-rodded humbucker tones. Other features of the EC-1000T or CTM EverTune include 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a Macassar ebony fingerboard with white pearloid ESP flag inlays. The guitar has a black finish.
