    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.

    The LTD EC-1000 remains one of ESP’s most popular guitar series, offering the tone, feel, looks, and quality that working professional musicians need in an instrument, along with the pricing that serious musicians can afford. With the EC-1000T, musicians get a traditional full-thickness body that is chambered for weight relief, making long live shows less of a strain on your back. It offers set-thru construction for easy access to the higher frets, but one aspect of the EC-1000T is anything but old-school: the EC-1000T is the first production guitar to offer a set of new Fishman Fluence® Open Core Classic Humbucker pickups with three voicings. On the neck pickup, Voice 1 offers the coveted vintage P.A.F. tone, Voice 2 is an airy chime, and Voice 3 is a vintage single-coil. For the bridge pickup, Voice 1 is the P.A.F., Voice 2 is the classic hot-rodded humbucker, and Voice 3 is an overwound single coil. The resulting sonic versatility of this guitar is astounding. The EC-1000T also features a mahogany body with a flamed maple top, and an excellent Honey Burst Satin finish.

              This is everything I’m looking for from an eclipse except one thing: the standard slim body with the belly cut. The color is one of my favorites offered at any level in ESP and/or LTD, 22-frets!, set through neck!, and the pickups! (Fishmans are not offered at the E-II level).

               

              Please offer this exact guitar with the slim body that ESP is loved for!

                Are the frets stainless steal?

                    The only reason I asked is I'll be receiving mine tomorrow from zzounds. I don't know what yr. model it will be do you have a way to tell the yr. of it and also I see that Fishman has a  Fishman Fluence Rechargeable battery pack can this be installed on this guitar?

                      Hi all. Just received my EC1000T. Its beautiful!

                      Im very pleased but...

                      Just wondered if I should have got any docs, leaflets, booklets or instructions on the use of the pick-ups, or what-not? AKA case candy?

                      There was nothing in the box apart from the guitar and 2 allen wrenches.

                      Can anyone help or advise me?

                      Thanks very much.
