    Typically bodies will be made of three pieces of mahogany and tops generally are two pieces

      Hi, description states "set-thru construction with a mahogany body and maple cap". I have been told that LTD series only feature a maple veneer and a solid maple cap is only featured in ESP guitars made in Japan!?

        ESP instruments with figured tops will be solid tops whereas most LTD instruments will solely have a veneer.  Some LTD models, such as this, will have a plain maple top.

          Thanks! Interesting, I wonder how thick that plain maple top approximately is?

           

          Also, description says “full-thickness body that is chambered for weight relief”. Why, does that give any tonal advantage or is it a tradition? Because I think a thin solid body with same weight would be more comfortable, stable and maybe easier to make.

            About 15mm thick.  Chambered offers a richer softer sound vs that of a solid body

                EC1001 was a designation used for us to differentiate when we are using EMG metalworks pickups

                      I bought this guitar recently and I am so far very pleased with how it plays and how it sounds, but one thing I could not find anywhere is if the frets are nickel or stainless steel. It certainly isn't a deal breaker for me, but it would be nice to know. Thanks in advance!

                        Hey Markus, glad you're enjoying it.  The frets will be a nickel/silver alloy unless otherwise stated.  Hope this help!
