I purchased this vintage black satin ESP LTD EC-1000 last year as a B-Stock item.

I’ve only played it twice (hence the sale), but it plays fantastic. There’s a small drill hole on the back of the neck (see photos). But the guitar is in great overall shape. 

I own a lot of EC-1000s and this one is just redundant in my collection.

Condition Report

Please thoroughly review all photos: I strive to give you an honest, up-close representation of each instrument’s condition and document every imperfection I find—but you’re the best judge, so please make sure you’re happy before buying.

• There is a tiny drill hole on the back of the neck (see photos), it also looks like there may be some mis-finish on the headstock lining (see photos). Aside from that, I couldn’t find any visible wear on this instrument. 

Why Buy From Mike’s Shop?

• Fast & Personal Fulfillment: Payment clears → I pack → you get tracking within 1–2 business days. No giant-store red tape.

• Clear, Proactive Communication: I personally reach out at every step—order confirmation, planned ship date, tracking info, and delivery ETA—so you’re never left wondering where your gear is.

• Player Tested & Approved: These instruments aren’t warehouse stock—they’re instruments I’ve owned, gigged, and recorded with. You’re getting a piece of my personal player collection, not a flip-and-ship flip.

• Thorough Pre-Ship Inspection: Every guitar undergoes a meticulous playability and cosmetic check before it leaves my studio—so what you see is exactly what you get.

• Controlled, Smoke-Free Storage: All gear lives in a temperature- and humidity-monitored, smoke-free environment—meaning your new instrument/gear was consistently monitored and actively maintained, not just displayed and forgotten.
