Description
ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000 Fluence Black Guitar
The EC-1000 Fluence Black is engineered for studio tracking and session work, combining a thin U-contoured neck with set-thru construction to deliver extended upper-fret access and sustain that translates into tight, controlled takes. The mahogany body and three-piece neck provide a warm, resonant foundation ideal for both clean and high-gain recording environments, while the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets ensure durability and consistent intonation across the entire 24.75-inch scale length—critical when punching in multiple passes for overdubs and layered arrangements.
Playability & Construction for Session Work
Set-thru body construction pairs with a thin U neck contour and Macassar ebony fingerboard (350mm radius) to create a responsive platform that reduces fatigue during long tracking sessions and complex part requirements. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets resist wear while maintaining precise intonation across repeated takes, and the 42mm molded nut preserves string spacing and tuning stability—essential for seamless edits and layer alignment. LTD locking tuners and a TonePros Locking TOM bridge and tailpiece lock in pitch between sessions and minimize re-tuning between parts.
Recording Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups with alnico neck and ceramic bridge elements capture articulate, dynamic response across the frequency spectrum, translating to clarity in dense mixes and definition during solo passes. Active electronics enable the Voice 2 option via the tone knob, providing two distinct sonic characters within a single tracking session without requiring pickup swaps. The Volume/Volume/Tone/Toggle Switch layout allows real-time tone shaping and pickup blending during recording, streamlining workflow and reducing setup time between takes.
