The ESP Guitar Company

I’ve had my LTD Phoenix-1000 for a few weeks now, and I have to say — this is hands down one of the best guitars I’ve ever owned. The build quality is absolutely top-notch, from the flawless finish to the perfectly set-up fretwork right out of the box. I was initially drawn to it because of the offset shape and the unique vintage white with gold hardware, but it’s the playability and tone that have really blown me away.

The neck is incredibly comfortable — I can stretch across the fretboard without feeling cramped, and the thin U shape is fast without being too flat. The combination of the Seymour Duncan Phat Cat and Custom Custom pickups gives me a huge tonal range, from warm and creamy cleans to thick, roaring leads with a ton of sustain.

I’ve owned a lot of guitars over the years, but this one feels like it has a permanent place in my collection. I was honestly considering a Gibson before this, but the Phoenix has made me forget all about it. ESP knocked it out of the park with this one

This is by far the best guitar I've ever owned, I will probably never buy another epiphany again.

It’s an incredible instrument, with an overall quality that you would find for a higher price with other brands.

the only thing is neck balance when playing standing: anybody found a way to keep the guitar  up?

Phoenix 1000 is amazing guitar, I see no point comparing it with any other guitar, it just so special. It rocks! And I love offset guitars. I am confused with the different description of the wood the neck was made of. Here, on your site, you say it's 3-piece mahogany. But, on many dealer sites, it says it's made of 3-piece maple!? So, what wood is the neck made of? My Phoenix is 2019 made in Korea, which wood did they use for necks?

The new 1000 series Phoenix models are so sick!  Would you guys please consider releasing a 1000 series Viper with similar color scheme?  Vintage white, white pickguard, gold hardware, passive pickups....perfection.
