ESP LTD EC1000T CTM with Evertune Bridge in Black
The ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000T CTM EverTune in Black combines classic singlecut heft with modern high-performance technology. The "T" stands for Traditional Full Thickness—meaning this guitar features a full-depth, chambered mahogany body with a maple cap, delivering the deep acoustic resonance, massive low-end weight, and traditional feel of a classic custom singlecut, enhanced with custom multi-ply binding (CTM) and high-end modern appointments.
How the EverTune Bridge Transforms Your Playing & RecordingThe defining feature of this EC-1000T is the factory-installed EverTune Constant Tension Bridge. EverTune is an all-mechanical bridge system that uses internal spring-and-lever modules to maintain perfectly constant tension on every individual string, completely immune to temperature swings, humidity shifts, or heavy picking technique.
- Perfect Intonation & Tuning Lock: Tune the guitar once, and it stays perfectly in pitch—chord shapes remain dead-accurate across all 22 frets without sour notes or pitch drag under hard fretting pressure.
- Ideal for Studio Tracking: Record double-tracked rhythm guitars with perfect frequency alignment and zero pitch drift between takes, saving hours in studio editing.
- Customizable Bending Sensitivity: Easily adjust each saddle's Zone 2 threshold to allow standard string bends and vibrato, or lock it into Zone 1 for rock-solid pitch stability during aggressive rhythm rhythm tracking.
Equipped with a set of active Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Humbuckers, this guitar offers three distinct tonal voices via push-pull volume and tone controls:
- Voice 1 (Vintage P.A.F.): Sweet, articulate, vintage-voiced humbucker tone with classic output.
- Voice 2 (Hot-Rodded Humbucker): Modern high-output punch, tight low end, and searing mid-range gain.
- Voice 3 (Slightly Overwound Single-Coil): Glassy, clear, single-coil chime with authentic bite and no active hum.
- Best For: Studio Tracking, Live Touring, Heavy Rhythm Work, Modern Hard Rock & Metal
- Tone Profile: Thick, Punchy, Dynamic Active Voice, Massive Low-End Resonant Weight
- Compared To: Gibson Les Paul Custom, ESP E-II Eclipse Full Thickness, LTD EC-1000 Standard
- Sanctuary Expert Note: "The 'T' stands for Traditional Full Thickness. If you love the substantial body weight and acoustic punch of a traditional singlecut, but need the absolute zero-drift tuning stability of an EverTune bridge for tracking or touring, this is the ultimate tool."
