Sound & Tone
Mahogany body and neck paired with a quilted maple top and Macassar ebony fingerboard give this EC-1000QM a thick, warm low end with tight attack and clear top-end articulation, while the set-thru joint and 24.75" scale add sustain and a slightly relaxed string feel. The EMG 81 in the bridge delivers the high-output, focused bite that suits hard rock and metal rhythm work and cutting leads, while the EMG 60TW-R at the neck offers a rounder, more vocal voice that thins out to a cleaner, more open single-coil-style tone when coil split. With independent volumes and a push-pull tone control, it moves easily between aggressive gain playing and cleaner melodic passages, making it a fit for players who need one guitar to cover heavy riffing, lead work, and cleaner textures.
ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000QM See Thru Purple Sunburst Guitar
The EC-1000QM is engineered for tracking sessions and extended studio work, with a contoured body and refined neck geometry that reduce fatigue during long recording takes. The Thin U neck contour balances comfort with stability, while the set-through construction and solid mahogany body generate the sustain and tonal transfer needed for clear, defined guitar recordings across multiple takes and overdubs. This is a versatile platform suited to both melodic passages and high-gain rhythm work.
Recording & Build Quality
A 3-piece mahogany neck with 24.75" scale ensures reliable intonation consistency across takes, while 24 XJ stainless steel frets with a 350mm radius support smooth single-note runs and chord articulation. The Macassar ebony fingerboard and 42mm nut width provide proper string spacing and reduce finger fatigue during intensive recording sessions, while set-through construction maximizes sustain and tonal transfer through the solid mahogany body for punchy, resonant tracking.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60TW-R neck pickup with pull-tone coil splitting deliver flexible tonal range—from tight, focused rhythm tones to articulate, singing leads that cut through a mix. Independent volume controls for each pickup, a push-pull tone control, and three-way toggle switch enable quick tonal adjustments between takes, while TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece combined with LTD locking tuners hold pitch stability throughout extended recording sessions.
