ESP LTD Arrow-1000 QM Guitar Dark Brown Sunburst
The Arrow-1000 QM captures articulate, controlled tones with its extra-thin U-shaped neck and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, making it ideal for recording intricate lead passages and aggressive riff work with precision. Neck-thru construction ensures maximum sustain and resonance in your tracks, while the Dark Brown Sunburst Satin finish over a quilted maple top offers striking visual character for any studio environment. This is a high-performance recording instrument built for producers and engineers who demand tuning stability, tonal versatility, and ergonomic precision during extended sessions.
Recording Playability & Construction
The 3-piece maple neck with extra-thin U-shape profile and Macassar ebony fingerboard featuring a compound radius of 300-400mm enables rapid, repeatable takes across all registers without fatigue. Neck-thru-body construction at 25.5" scale maximizes resonance and sustain for fuller, longer-decaying notes, while the mahogany body with quilted maple top provides both acoustic foundation and professional appearance in video production.
Electronics & Hardware for Studio Tracking
Direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers — ceramic in the bridge and alnico in the neck — deliver switchable voice settings via push/pull master volume control, allowing you to dial in different tonal characters within a single session. The Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge with stainless steel screws and Grover tuners lock in rock-solid intonation across multiple takes, while a 42mm locking nut secures tuning stability throughout your recording session.

What styles does this guitar excel at?

The Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge with stainless steel screws, a 42mm locking nut, and Grover tuners work together to lock strings in place and maintain rock-solid intonation across extended playing sessions and dive-bomb techniques.
