    NOTE: Due to ongoing challenges in the global supply chain, instruments purchased from ShopESP that are not currently in stock may take an extended time frame to be delivered.

    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.

          Would be nice to have this guitar in some other color, e.g. ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo BP BLKNB. Any plans for that?

              Hi I just bought mine, but my pickups have black Seymour Duncan logo text on them instead of white as in product pictures. Is this common? The Serial number starts with W1912

              Thanks.

                  Hello, i’ve bought this guitar used and I love it but the pickup volume/tone buttons arent push-pull. Was it the case on the previous version of this guitar or there is something wrong on mine?

                  thanks

                      I love the ec-1000 piezo! It's my favorite guitar. The only mod I did was putting a Dimarzio fantom p-90 in the bridge position of mine.

                       

                      Are you willing to make a floyd rose version with the piezo? Also a abalone binding and inlay option would be awesome!

                          I purchased one of these in August. It’s an amazing guitar. However, there are some minor things that I noticed to be odd for a brand new guitar.  First thing I noticed is that I am also having some crackling sounds coming from the Piezo switch. The Piezo audio bleeds in and out when I am on the magnetic only setting. Will have to check the wiring at some point. Other than that, there’s some minor aesthetics such as one of the pickup ring screws is not the same color as the others and also one of the screws on a pickup ring was tightened too much and bent that side of the ring. Again things that can be fixed, but odd to see on a new instrument. Everything else however is fantastic. Great build quality and playability.
