ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000 Fluence Black Guitar
The EC-1000 Fluence Black is built for tracking sessions and mixing work with a thin U-contoured neck and set-thru construction that ensures clear upper-fret definition and extended sustain when layering parts or tracking lead lines. The mahogany body and three-piece neck deliver a warm, resonant foundation ideal for both rhythm and lead textures, while the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets maintain consistent intonation across extended sessions at the 24.75-inch scale length. This is a professional-grade instrument engineered for studio recording and production work where tonal clarity and playability directly impact takes and final mix character.
Playability & Construction for Studio Work
Set-thru body construction pairs with a thin U neck contour and Macassar ebony fingerboard (350mm radius) to create a responsive, comfortable platform for extended tracking sessions and overdub work. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets resist wear and maintain fret height consistency through long studio days, while the 42mm molded nut maintains precise string spacing and tuning stability, supported by LTD locking tuners and a TonePros Locking TOM bridge and tailpiece for rock-solid intonation across multiple takes and punch-ins.
Tone Shaping & Electronics for Recording
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups with alnico neck and ceramic bridge elements capture articulate, dynamic response across the frequency spectrum, making them sit cleanly in dense mixes while maintaining definition. Active electronics enable the Voice 2 option accessible via the tone knob, providing two distinct pickup characters within a single take for extended tonal flexibility during pre-production or multi-track recording. The Volume/Volume/Tone/Toggle Switch layout delivers intuitive control for pickup blending and on-the-fly tone shaping without unnecessary complexity during recording sessions.
