Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top and set-thru construction give this EC-1000 a thick, sustaining midrange with tight low end, while the 24.75" scale and Macassar ebony fingerboard add snap and clarity to the attack. The Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge pushes cutting highs and aggressive gain for hard rock and metal rhythm work, and the Jazz neck pickup rolls back into warmer, more detailed territory for melodic leads and cleaner passages; the push-pull coil split opens up thinner, chimier single-coil voices. With the EverTune bridge holding pitch and intonation steady, it suits layered studio tracking and drop-tuned riffing where tuning drift would otherwise be an issue.
ESP LTD EC-1000 Evertune Guitar Dark Brown Sunburst B-Stock
The EC-1000 Evertune delivers a thin U-contoured neck paired with set-thru construction that locks upper-fret access and fast passage execution into your workflow. The EverTune bridge maintains rock-solid tuning stability and intonation across the entire fretboard, eliminating the frustration of drift during overdubs, layering, or long tracking sessions. This B-stock unit carries minor cosmetic blemishes only—the playability and tone remain completely uncompromised.
Construction & Recording Response
Set-thru construction bonds the neck directly through the body for enhanced sustain and seamless access to all 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on the Macassar ebony fingerboard. The 3-piece mahogany neck, 42mm molded nut, and thin U contour combine to create an instrument that tracks cleanly in the studio, whether executing wide intervals or rapid single-note lines with clarity and definition.
Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup delivers articulate highs and aggressive gain that cuts through a dense mix, while the Seymour Duncan Jazz neck pickup provides warm, detailed voicings ideal for layered production work. Passive electronics with dual volume controls, tone control with push-pull coil split, and a 3-way toggle switch give you complete tonal flexibility from clean chime to high-output aggression—essential for session versatility.

As a B-Stock instrument it carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish — a small finish mark with no effect on playability, tone or structure — which is why it sells for less than a first-quality unit. The exact blemish varies from unit to unit, so it is not described or pictured here; photos show the model, not the individual unit. It is new, unplayed and covered by the full manufacturer warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will it affect playability or tone?
B-Stock means the guitar is new and unplayed but carries a minor cosmetic blemish from the factory—such as a small finish mark—that has no effect on playability, tone, or structure. It is covered by the full manufacturer warranty and performs identically to a first-quality unit.
How does the EverTune bridge work, and why does it matter for live and studio use?
The EverTune F-model bridge maintains rock-solid tuning stability and intonation across the entire fretboard, eliminating the frustration of pitch drift during extended studio sessions or live performances. This is especially valuable when playing fast passages or recording multiple takes without retuning.
Is this guitar suitable for genres outside metal and hard rock?
The EC-1000 is optimized for hard rock, metal, and progressive music. Its tone profile—articulate highs, aggressive gain, and high output—is not well-suited to folk, country, or blues styles, which typically call for warmer, more vintage voicings.
What pickup combination does this guitar have, and can I split coils?
The EC-1000 features a Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup for articulate highs and aggressive gain, and a Seymour Duncan Jazz neck pickup for warm, detailed voicings. The tone control includes a push-pull coil split, giving you additional tonal flexibility from clean chime to high-output crunch.
What is the neck profile like, and who is it designed for?
The 3-piece mahogany neck has a thin U contour combined with set-thru construction and a 42mm molded nut, creating an instrument optimized for speed and upper-fret access. This design is ideal for intermediate, advanced, and professional players executing wide intervals and rapid single-note passages.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
