ESP LTD EC-1000 Lefty Guitar in Gold Andromeda B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD EC-1000 Lefty Guitar in Gold Andromeda B-Stock
The EC-1000 Lefty delivers focused, articulate tracking for recording sessions with its thin U-shaped neck profile and set-thru construction that extends the neck deep into the body for smooth upper-fret access. The Gold Andromeda finish shifts and reflects across the iridescent surface, creating a striking visual presence that stands apart from conventional guitar aesthetics. Built for left-handed players who demand versatility across rock, metal, and progressive genres without compromise on tone or build quality—translating to reliable, consistent takes from session to session.
Construction & Tonal Foundation
The mahogany body paired with a maple top delivers warm, rich resonance with solid sustain, ideal for cutting through dense mixes while retaining definition in the mid-range. Set-thru construction anchors the neck directly through the body, maximizing vibration transfer and eliminating the tonal limitations of bolt-on designs—a structural advantage that translates to fuller harmonic content and improved sustain during recording. The 24.75" scale length strikes a balance between playability and string tension, accommodating both aggressive bending and precise articulation across all positions, making it adaptable for diverse session requirements.
Playability & Electronics
The Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 13.7" radius accommodates fast lead work and aggressive playing without fretting out, while 24 extra jumbo frets provide ample real estate for modern technique. The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—Alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge—deliver multi-voice capability via push-pull coil-split, ranging from warm and articulate to high-output and cutting; combined with TonePros locking bridge and LTD locking tuners, this configuration ensures rock-solid tuning stability and comprehensive sound customization, enabling rapid tonal shifts across multiple takes or song sections without breaking workflow.
