ESP LTD EC-1000 Baritone Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin B-Stock

ESP LTD EC-1000 Baritone Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin

The extended 27-inch baritone scale captures crystalline clarity and articulation across drop-tuned and alternate tuning sessions, while the sleek charcoal metallic satin finish provides tactile comfort during long recording takes. The mahogany body with set-in mahogany neck produces warm, woody resonance with modern punch—ideal for capturing heavy riffs, dark alternative textures, or experimental soundscapes in the mix. Responsive playability enables detailed tracking from lightning-fast lead passes to thick, sustaining rhythm layers.

Playability & Construction

The thin U neck contour paired with a 350mm fingerboard radius supports precise finger work and smooth bending across extended studio sessions. 24 stainless steel extra jumbo frets with glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots ensure durability through repeated takes and late-night recording marathons, while the 42mm nut width maintains proper string spacing across the baritone neck for clean separation in recorded tracks.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—alnico in the neck position and ceramic in the bridge—deliver versatile, articulate tones with switchable voices via push-pull tone controls, enabling rapid tonal exploration within a single session without instrument swaps. LTD locking machine heads and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge with string-through design lock tuning stability across overdub sessions and take after take, while 2 volume controls, 1 tone control with push/pull function, and a 3-way toggle switch provide real-time dynamic and tonal shaping during performance capture.
