Not the most ergonomic guitar in the world but that's okay! It plays amazing, looks amazing, and looks even better. The only thing wrong with it is the binding doesn't align with the top but when playing it's not an issue. No issues when playing at all. I replaced the bridge pickup with a fluence modern open core and it turned it into a beast. Couldn't be happier about this guitar.
How can I tell what country my 1000t was made in?
I just got this guitar and it is stunningly beautiful and plays amazingly, not really a fan of the pickups so Im on the hunt for some active pickups just havent decided on which ones.
Why does the weight differ so much from guitar to guitar for the exact same model?
So I ordered one of these guitars from an online retailer. Super excited as i have been waiting for these to have steel frets. I have never had issues with these before but now, in the era of covid, they have cheaped out and moved production to indonesia. I never found an issue on one of their south korean guitars. The very first guitar i order sonce covid has multiple issues. Finish problems all over and a crack in the finish of the body. It was not the shipper, as the box was unblemished. Do not buy these guitars. This was, until now, my favorite guitar company.
I unfortunately have to agree, I had similar workmanship issues with another Indonesia-made Ltd (EC-1001FM) and had to return it, twice ... I now only look for the (few) models that are still produced in Korea. I for one would be happy to pay a bit more to receive a guitar without any such issues and would appreciate if ESP were to clearly state the place of production to let the consumer decide what he/she is willing to accept in terms of the price/quality trade-off.
They didn't cheap out and move to Indonesia factories due to COVID, they have had Indonesian made guitars for a while now... I ALSO bought one of these Tobacco Sunburst, just a couple months back, and mine was Made in Korea... It TRULY just depends on which one you buy on where it comes from. Mine is SOLID, and just like my 10 other ESP / LTD guitars, amazing players for the money, and beautiful to look at.
Bonjour, je voudrais savoir ce que signifie la petite main avec le L sous la description. Je me doute que c'est Left pour la main, mais cette guitare e toutes celles ou il y a un L me semble être des droitières, du coup je comprends pas très bien.
PS: me jugez pas s'il vous plait, je suis malvoyant, il se peut que je rate des informations
Product shows a ship date of August 9th...is that a ship date from overseas or from a U.S. distribution center? Thank you.....
Any hope for seeing this guitar in Vintage Black with that yellow binding?
I love the specs, but im really in love with vintage black.

I just got this. It's amazing. Great model this year ESP. Great job
Hello, thank you. Glad you like it!
Hi PDP, where was yours made?
May i ask what the weight of this guitar is?
Hi, please understand that weight can vary from guitar to guitar so we do not list it as a specification. However an approximate weight for this guitar would be around 10.5lbs. Keep in mind it could be slightly higher or lower.
Can I get this with the EMG pickups? If so.....SOLD!!!
This is already routed for battery active pickups, so a swap to EMGs would be effortless. These Fishman pickups cost more than EMGs too, so you could probably resell them for a slight profit.
Hi, sorry we aren't able to change the pickups, they come stock as you see them listed on the site. Nathan is right, you could swap them out on your own as many players do. We try to provide a variety of choices for guitars and pickups but we aren't able to offer every different option.
Wheres all the passive pick up models for 2021.........
Everything new is posted on the site. You can find a page for all new product here: https://www.espguitars.com/products?categories=new-for-2021

Another really good looking guitar. I can tell this is gonna be a difficult choice. Andromeda is calling too!
Picks ups are wayyyy different , Andro is Metal the CTM way more versatile with the open core Classic .
I'm definitely interested in the E-ii lefty version of this model... can you guys do it?
