Description

ESP LTD ARROW-1000NT Charcoal Metallic Satin Guitar

The ARROW-1000NT delivers a naturally thin and articulate recording voice defined by its neck-through construction, which provides exceptional resonance and note definition across the fretboard. The streamlined body profile captures responsive, effortless tones whether tracking rapid-fire lead passages or chunky, palm-muted rhythms. Built for hard rock, metal, and high-octane fusion production, this guitar rewards aggressive playing with explosive dynamics and pristine note separation that cuts through dense mixes.

Playability & Construction

Neck-through architecture with a 3-piece maple neck and thin U contour ensures superior sustain and minimal neck joint resistance, translating to tight, articulate tracking in the studio. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features 24 XJ stainless steel frets with a 300–400mm compound radius, accommodating both clean open-position recordings and high-fret bend work without compromise. A 42mm locking nut and LTD locking tuners maintain rock-solid tuning stability through aggressive takes and string-bending sessions.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—alnico neck and ceramic bridge—deliver bright, percussive modern clarity with switchable voice options via pull-volume controls, enabling fast tonal adjustments between rhythm and lead overdubs. Active electronics with a master volume push/pull switch and three-way toggle provide flexible in-session tonal shaping, while the recessed Tonepros locking TOM bridge with string-through design maximizes sustain and tonal transfer to the mahogany body for cohesive, punchy recordings.
