    As one of the most innovative and versatile guitars in the LTD Deluxe Series, the EC-1000 PIEZO is our first model to include both standard magnetic pickups as well as a completely separate piezo pickup system. Piezo pickups create a very different sound from typical magnetic pickups, offering excellent articulate, acoustic-like tones. With the EC-1000 PIEZO, you can use the mini toggle switch to select between the standard pickup set -- the excellent  Seymour Duncan ’59 and JB -- and a Fishman Powerbridge and Tailpiece, or even combine them both. This level of sonic flexibility continues to the guitar's dual output jacks, allowing you to route the pickups to different combinations of amplifiers or interfaces onstage for live performances or in the studio for recording sessions. The EC-1000 PIEZO offers a great-looking quilted maple top on its mahogany body, and is available in See Thru Blue and See Thru Black finishes.

          It seems almost impossible to find the See Thru Black color in most online retailers (at least current models with the push/pull feature - older models are easier to find). Are you still producing these? Are they back ordered? Do you have a waiting time? Tks!

              Hello I’m still having the problem with my ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo it is making a lot of buzzing and noises when I select the piezo pickup a technician already checked it and it’s a preamp factory issue. I’m not satisfied with this guitar, it is expensive and not working well. How can I get support From the ESP lifetime warranty?. Thank you.

                  Hello, I just bought this ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo - See Thru Black guitar and I have a problem with the battery, it runs out quickly and when I use the Piezo Pickup after a while it starts to make a lot of noise and forces me to change again the battery, besides this my knobs are not push pull and I cannot activate the single coil option. Am I doing something wrong?

                    Hey Lisandro, perhaps you are leaving this plugged in while not in use, also this may have been produced prior to when push/pull was standard equipment.  You'll want to reach out to our service department if you need further assistance with this, they can be reached at customerservice@espguitars.com

                      Hi,
                      Do you expect to release this model with ebony fretboard in the future ?

                      I like everything in this guitar except the Pau Ferro fretboard,

                      Thank you in advance for you answer

                          Hello,

                          Almost 2 months ago i've bought my EC1000p guitar. Recently i can hear some differences between Jack2(Mag) and Jack1(Mag/Piezo) while it is switched to "Mag only" .less gain and muddy sound while using Jack 1. why is that?Could it be the battery?

                            Hey Amirreza, first assumption would be the battery.  Be sure not to leave this plugged in while you are not using it, the jack acts as an on/off switch for the battery.  If you need further assistance with this you may reach out to our customer service department at customerservice@espguitars.com
