Description
ESP LTD EC-1000 Piezo Quilted Maple Electric Guitar — See Thru Black
The EC-1000 Piezo is built to capture and deliver dual-personality recordings—a dual-pickup system pairing the Seymour Duncan '59 neck and Seymour Duncan JB bridge with Fishman Powerbridge piezo electronics that let you switch between warm, articulate acoustic-modeled tones and thick, responsive magnetic crunch in a single take. The buttery smooth neck and contoured body reduce fatigue during long tracking and overdub sessions, while the striking see-through black quilted maple top adds visual character to studio footage. This instrument excels when you need tonal flexibility across multiple passes without touching your guitar swap workflow.
Playability & Feel
The 3-piece mahogany neck with thin U contour minimizes hand fatigue during extended recording takes, while the 24.75" scale and 24 XJ stainless steel frets on the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius ensure quick, accurate fretting and responsive dynamics across all positions. The 42mm molded nut and LTD locking tuners maintain stable, locked-in intonation through punch-in sessions and back-to-back takes.
Tone & Studio Versatility
The active electronics layout provides independent volume control over magnetic and piezo pickups via dedicated controls, source selection toggle, and dual output jacks—allowing you to print warm acoustic-simulation layers and aggressive magnetic rock tones on separate tracks without re-amping or secondary sessions. The mahogany body with quilted maple top produces focused midrange and articulate sustain across all pickup selections, sitting clearly in dense mixes while maintaining character on isolation takes.
