ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000QM See Thru Purple Sunburst Guitar
The EC-1000QM delivers a contoured body and refined neck geometry that enable extended recording and overdub sessions without fatigue. The See Thru Purple Sunburst finish reveals a striking quilted maple top that contributes warmth and articulation to the instrument's overall resonance, translating to rich, defined tones in the mix. This is a versatile recording platform suited for both melodic tracking and aggressive play styles.
Playability & Build Quality
A 3-piece mahogany neck with Thin U contour balances comfort with stability across the 24.75" scale. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features 24 XJ stainless steel frets with a 350mm radius, enabling smooth, consistent lead lines and reliable intonation across takes; the 42mm molded nut provides proper string spacing and reduced finger stretch for session endurance. Set-through construction joins the neck to a solid mahogany body with multi-ply white binding, maximizing sustain and tonal transfer—critical for capturing resonant, full-bodied recordings.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60TW-R neck pickup with coil splitting provide sonic flexibility across genres—from tight, articulate rock tones to nuanced, articulate lead textures. Independent volume controls for each pickup, a push-pull tone control, and three-way toggle switch enable precise on-the-fly adjustments during tracking and layering; TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece combined with LTD locking tuners maintain pitch stability across entire recording sessions and overdub passes.
