Description
Sound & Tone
A mahogany body with maple cap and neck-thru maple construction gives this Arrow a tight low end and long sustain, while the macassar ebony board and 25.5" scale keep note attack crisp and articulate. The Fishman Fluence Modern set covers a wide range: the alnico neck humbucker stays warm and vocal for leads and cleaner passages, while the ceramic bridge pushes a punchy, aggressive voice for high-gain rhythm, with push-pull switching offering a second voicing per pickup. Combined with the Evertune bridge holding pitch under heavy picking, it suits modern metal, technical rhythm work and drop tunings, plus studio tracking where consistent intonation matters.
ESP LTD ARROW-1000ET Evertune Black Guitar B-Stock
The Arrow-1000ET delivers an extra-thin U neck contour paired with a neck-thru construction that produces exceptional sustain and resonance for tracking and layering. This aggressive, arrow-shaped design combines premium materials with cutting-edge hardware to create an instrument engineered for professional studio tracking and session work. The B-stock condition offers significant value without compromising the engineering that makes this guitar a serious recording and production tool.
Playability & Construction for Recording Sessions
Neck-thru design with a 3-piece maple neck and macassar ebony fingerboard ensures superior stability and a fast, smooth playing surface—critical for nailing takes without worrying about neck movement under the demands of studio work. The extra-thin U neck contour, combined with a 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius, accommodates both aggressive bending at lower frets and technical work in the upper register, while the 42mm molded nut provides consistent string spacing across the fretboard for reliable performance across multiple takes and tunings.
Tone & Recording Capabilities
The revolutionary Evertune F-model bridge maintains perfect tuning and intonation across a full session, eliminating tuning drift that can complicate overdubs and multi-take recording. Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups—with alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge—deliver warm, articulate tones and aggressive, punchy response that sits well in dense mixes, selectable via push-pull voicing control and toggle switch pickup selector to adapt quickly to different song sections and production needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is B-Stock, and does it affect playability or sound?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with only minor cosmetic marks on finish or hardware—zero impact on playability, tone, or electronics. You get the same professional-grade construction and performance as a new unit at a significant discount.
Is the Evertune bridge really necessary for me?
Yes, if you're performing extended sets, recording multiple takes, or playing in drop tunings and extended ranges where traditional bridges drift. The Evertune F-model maintains perfect intonation under any performance condition, eliminating mid-set retuning.
Can I switch between warm and aggressive tones?
Yes. The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers feature push-pull control and a toggle switch that let you select between alnico neck (warm, articulate) and ceramic bridge (punchy, aggressive) voicings in real time, both on stage and in the studio.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and progressive styles?
Absolutely. The extra-thin U neck contour, 25.5" scale length, 24 stainless-steel frets, and aggressive pickup voicing are purpose-built for metal, progressive, and hard-rock players who need speed, precision, and high output.
What neck profile and fretboard does it have?
The neck is a 3-piece maple with an extra-thin U contour and a macassar ebony fingerboard featuring a 300–400mm compound radius. This design accommodates both aggressive bending at lower frets and technical upper-register work without sacrifice.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
