    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.

          Are the frets stainless steal?

            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.

                  What is the recommended polish/wax for this guitar?

                    We recommend using a clean dry cloth. If you polish or wax this finish, the satin finish will turn shiny. Please contact customerservice@espguitars.com should you need any assistance.

                      Can you easily switch the pickups with Fishman Fluence Modern or do you need additional work on the electronics?

                        Hi, this should be relatively easy to do. The only thing that wouldn't work is the voice 3 on the 2nd control (because Fishman Modern do not have voice 3). The pickups would simple plug in to the existing wiring, and you would probably have to disconnect the wires going to the middle push pull pot. You can contact Fishman for help with wiring or contact our customer service at customerservice@espguitars.com

                          Where is this guitar made? Is It Korea or somewhere else?
