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

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

The EC-1000B Baritone Lefty is engineered for studio tracking and live performance in downtuned contexts. Its 27" baritone scale maintains ideal string tension across tuning ranges while the set-thru construction delivers resonant sustain and effortless upper-fret access for layered arrangements. The thin U-shaped neck contour and 42mm nut width support both traditional and modern playing techniques, minimizing hand strain during marathon session work.

Playability & Construction

The set-thru design routes the neck directly through the body, yielding superior sustain and structural rigidity that captures aggressive tones and clean articulation in equal measure. A 3-piece mahogany neck, macassar ebony fingerboard, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets create a fast, durable tracking surface; glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots support low-light studio visibility without visual distraction. The 350mm fingerboard radius balances comfortable voicing and open-string arrangements with smooth lead articulation.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—alnico in the neck, ceramic in the bridge—capture aggressive articulation through warm, defined recordings. Push/pull voicing switches on the tone control access alternate voice circuits, allowing rapid tonal shifts across overdubs and takes without re-miking. The mahogany body with maple cap produces a full-bodied resonance with excellent sustain that cuts through dense mixes, while the TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru design and LTD locking tuners ensure tuning stability across session changes and dynamic playing demands.
