Description
ESP LTD EC-1000ET Evertune Guitar Bold Binding Black B-Stock
The EC-1000ET is engineered for studio tracking and live recording with its thin U-contour neck and set-thru construction, providing effortless upper-fret access for layered takes and complex arrangements. The striking bold metallic silver binding frames a sleek black satin finish, while the EverTune bridge maintains rock-solid intonation across the entire fretboard—critical for multi-take sessions, tuning-intensive passages, and zero-hassle re-amping. This B-stock model carries only minor cosmetic blemishes—no playability compromises—at a significant discount from standard pricing.
Recording & Performance
A 3-piece mahogany neck with thin U contour pairs with a macassar ebony fingerboard on a 350mm radius to enable fast, accurate tracking and comfortable marathon sessions. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets resist wear and provide consistent action across punch-in and multi-take recording work, while the 42mm molded nut spaces strings for precise intonation and repeatable articulation.
Tone Capture & Mix Integration
The mahogany body with maple cap delivers balanced resonance with sustain and depth that translates cleanly to tape and DAW, captured through a dual-EMG setup: EMG 60TW-R neck pickup with push-pull coil-split for single-coil versatility and dynamic range, and aggressive EMG 81 bridge pickup in brushed chrome for cutting rhythm and lead definition. Independent volume controls for each pickup plus a pull-tone switch and 3-way toggle provide comprehensive tonal palette—from articulate rhythm tones to saturated lead drives—all from a single instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean and are there playability issues?
B-Stock means this guitar carries only minor cosmetic blemishes from open-box or display handling—no structural or playability compromises. The finish, electronics, and tuning stability are fully functional and covered by the manufacturer warranty.
How does the EverTune bridge work and why does it matter?
The EverTune F-model bridge automatically compensates for string tension changes and bending, keeping the guitar locked in tune across the entire fretboard regardless of playing dynamics. This is especially valuable for heavy-handed players and aggressive string-bending techniques common in hard rock and metal.
Can I get single-coil tones from the EMG pickups?
Yes—the EMG 60TW-R neck pickup includes a push-pull coil-split that lets you access single-coil voicings. Combined with independent volume controls for each pickup, you can dial in articulate cleans and mid-range tones without losing the aggressive bridge pickup option.
What neck profile and scale length does it have?
The guitar features a thin U-contour 3-piece mahogany neck with a 24.75 inch scale length and 350mm radius 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. This setup balances speed and comfort while offering familiar playability for players coming from other electric guitars.
Is this guitar suitable for hard rock and metal?
Yes—the EC-1000ET is purpose-built for hard rock, metal, and progressive styles. The set-thru construction, aggressive EMG 81 bridge pickup, and EverTune bridge tuning stability make it reliable for both studio and live heavy music.
