ESP LTD EC-1000 Electric Guitar - Antique Sunburst (ASB)
The LTD EC-1000 from ESP is part of the LTD Deluxe series guitar range.
The EC-1000 is based on a classic shape with more modern styling.
Pick ups are provided by Seymour Duncan by way of a TB-4 "JB" in the bridge which is great for heavy blues to heavy rock - plenty of output while retaining the clear highs and agressive harmonics.
This is thoughtfully paired with a SH-1 "59 Model" pick up in the neck position which gives the the player access to warmer clean tones and full/rounded distortion sounds giving the instrument great versatility and quality no matter the style being played.
Other appointments include the Earvana compensated nut which aids intonation on the fretboard which is a nice addition. Tuners are excellent Schaller Locking tuners and the instrument will hold tuning well.
This guitar features all the hallmarks of an ESP LTD rock machine. A lovely fast neck, brilliant styling and excellent pick ups all at an attractive price point.

Some of the special features of this ESP LTD Guitar include:
TWO-WAY ADJUSTING TRUSS ROD
Most of our instruments are built using a 2-way adjusting truss rod. Unlike a traditional (single-adjusting) truss rod which is still commonly used on many other manufacturers' instruments, our truss rod is adjustable both clockwise and counter-clockwise. With a single-adjusting truss rod, once you loosen the nut all the way, that is it. You are left with no more adjustment – this can leave your instrument unplayable if the neck cannot be adjusted properly. By using a 2-way truss rod we have eliminated the possibility of that ever happening.
EARVANA COMPENSTATED NUT
Esp was the first major guitar manufacturer to feature the earvana compensated nut on some of its most popular models. By compensating each string's length at the nut (similar to how a bridge saddle is compensated for intonation) you will notice much more accurate intonation across the fretboard, especially towards the open chording area, where this problem is most common.
