Description
Sound & Tone
Mahogany body with a 3-piece maple neck-through and macassar ebony fingerboard gives this Arrow a punchy, focused voice with long sustain, and the string-through Tonepros locking TOM keeps low notes tight and resonant. The Fishman Fluence Modern set covers a wide range: the alnico neck humbucker stays warm and vocal for leads, while the ceramic bridge is aggressive and cutting with clear note separation under high gain, with the push/pull volume offering additional voicing options. The 25.5" scale, thin U neck, and 24 stainless frets suit fast metal and hard rock rhythm work, technical lead playing, and anything that demands articulate palm-muted chugging.
ESP LTD ARROW-1000NT Charcoal Metallic Satin Guitar B-Stock
The ARROW-1000NT is engineered for studio tracking with a thin, comfortable neck profile and sleek body geometry that supports extended takes and layered tracking sessions. Neck-through construction provides the sustain and resonance needed for dense, punchy recordings while maintaining the lightweight character that translates well through digital capture. The Charcoal Metallic Satin finish presents a professional, studio-ready appearance with subtle visual depth.
Recording Feel & Playability
The thin U-contoured neck combined with a 300-400mm compound radius fingerboard and 42mm locking nut delivers a fast, responsive playing surface ideal for capturing both lead articulation and rhythmic precision in single takes. 24 XJ stainless steel frets provide consistent, reliable feel across long session days, while the 25.5" scale maintains familiar string tension and tuning stability for repeatable takes.
Tracking & Mix Integration
The active electronics layout with master volume push/pull and toggle switch controls a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—alnico in the neck position for warm, defined tones and ceramic in the bridge for articulate, cutting clarity. The mahogany body with 3-piece maple neck-through construction combined with macassar ebony fingerboard produces a tonally focused, punchy character with natural sustain that sits well in dense mixes, while the recessed Tonepros locking TOM bridge with string-through design ensures consistent intonation across multiple takes and full resonance through the recording chain.

As a B-Stock instrument it carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish — a small finish mark with no effect on playability, tone or structure — which is why it sells for less than a first-quality unit. The exact blemish varies from unit to unit, so it is not described or pictured here; photos show the model, not the individual unit. It is new, unplayed and covered by the full manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with all original features and electronics intact, but has minor cosmetic imperfections that do not affect playability or sound. It is a new unit, not used or refurbished.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The ARROW-1000NT is designed specifically for metal, hard rock, progressive, and djent genres. The ceramic bridge Fishman Fluence delivers aggressive, cutting high-end clarity, while the neck-through construction and active electronics support fast lead work and powerful rhythm tones.
What is the neck shape and how fast is it?
The thin U-contoured neck with a 300-400mm compound radius fingerboard and 42mm locking nut creates a fast, responsive playing surface optimized for speed and comfort across all registers. The 25.5 scale length is standard tuning-stability specification.
How do the pickups sound and can you switch between them?
The Fishman Fluence Modern pair uses alnico in the neck position for warm, articulate cleans and ceramic in the bridge for aggressive, focused aggression and clarity. The active electronics with toggle switch let you select either pickup, and the push/pull master volume adds dynamic control in the mix.
What hardware keeps this guitar in tune?
The 42mm locking nut, recessed Tonepros locking TOM bridge with string-through design, and LTD locking tuners work together to ensure reliable tuning stability and full resonance, even during aggressive playing or extended sessions.
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.
