Hi there, thanks for the response from my 1st question.  Sorry to ask the same type of question again, but I just purchased one of these guitars and it came with a very glossy neck finish, while every other part of the guitar is satin.  I'm wondering if this is a mistake/error from the factory.  The front, sides of the guitar as well as the back of the body and headstock are a matte "satin" while the neck section is 100% full gloss.  Any input would be appreciated.

    Hey Jordan, what you're describing sounds fairly odd.  If anything, a gloss instrument might have the neck satin but doing a satin finish with a gloss neck is the opposite of what most players want.  I'd like to assure you that the necks of these instruments are satin but if you feel you picked up an odd one, send a message to our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com and they would be more than happy to sort it out for you.

      Hi there,  could someone tell me if the neck of this guitar has the same "satin" finish of the body, or is it more of gloss finished neck section on the back of this guitar?  Thanks for your help.

        Hey Jordan, the neck and  back of this instrument will be satin as well.

          I am not sure why but I always thought a real maple cap was used on the 1000 series if a maple front was featured. Is this really a veneer? Is there no real maple cap on any LTD at all?

            Martijn, the figured portion of the top will be a veneer but there will be a plain maple top under the veneer, hope this helps.

              Hello Carl, thank you for clearing that up! Was worried I'd have to scratch it from my whish list, it will remain on top!

                Does this model come with a maple cap?

                  Hey Ron, this instrument will feature a flamed maple veneer.  Hope this helps!
