I own too many guitars. And while I would like to just hoard em all. I feel bad for this one. It is too nice to live in case.
2010 ESP LTD EC 1000 Deluxe gold top/metallic gold. Made in Korea. Includes ESP Hardshell.
This is a 1000 Deluce. Not the more common EC 401V
These ones are super rare to come across. Especially in this kind of near mint condition and with the original Seymour Duncan zebra pickups (JB/59). Thats rare for 15+ year old guitar (It seems wild to me that 2010 was 16 years ago haha)
Very smooth to play. Really lite but has a nice balanced feel to it.
These early LTD are amazing guitars. I would say better than many Gibsons/Fenders from same period of time. I don’t think I am alone on that. The Korean-built era of LTD production is highly regarded. Widely considered by many players to be among the best values ever produced in a modern single-cut guitar.
Here is some more formal stuff I pulled from internet…
The EC-1000 series was designed as ESP’s professional-grade LTD line, offering premium features and craftsmanship that rival instruments costing significantly more. These Korean-built models earned a reputation for outstanding consistency, playability, and reliability, becoming favorites among touring musicians and recording artists.
This guitar features a mahogany body and set-thru neck construction for excellent sustain and upper-fret access, along with a fast Thin-U neck profile and ebony fingerboard. The factory Seymour Duncan humbuckers provide exceptional versatility, delivering everything from vintage blues and classic rock to modern hard rock and metal with clarity and punch.
