ESP LTD EC-1000ET Evertune Electric Guitar Bold Binding
The EC-1000ET delivers a thin U-profile neck and perfectly balanced weight distribution that reduce fatigue during extended tracking and overdub sessions. This set-thru construction guitar combines professional-grade hardware with the Evertune F-model bridge, which maintains perfect intonation across the entire fingerboard regardless of playing dynamics or tuning demands—critical for layering multiple takes and keeping your recordings locked. The bold metallic silver binding immediately announces this instrument's premium character while the satin black finish maintains a refined, workmanlike aesthetic that photographs and records with distinction.
Playability & Construction
Built on a set-thru mahogany neck with 3-piece construction, this guitar offers the stability and sustain essential for capturing consistent tones across a full production session. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and 350mm fingerboard radius accommodate aggressive playing techniques and modern string bending without losing clarity on tape. The Macassar ebony fingerboard combined with a 42mm molded nut and thin U neck contour creates an ergonomic platform that reduces hand fatigue during long overdub stretches, keeping your performances tight and your tone consistent.
Recording Tone & Electronics
The pairing of EMG 60TW-R brushed chrome neck pickup with pull-tone splitting capability and EMG 81 brushed chrome bridge pickup delivers articulate high-end definition and aggressive low-end punch across all registers—capturing clarity in mix without unwanted muddiness. The active electronics layout—Bridge Volume, Neck Volume, Tone with push/pull, and toggle switch—provides surgical control over your tonal palette, letting you dial in the exact character needed for each track without unnecessary complexity.

Yes. The combination of set-thru construction, 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, EMG 60TW and 81 active pickups, and 350mm fingerboard radius is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, and progressive styles. The aggressive low-end punch and articulate high-end definition support modern playing techniques and heavy tones.
What is the neck profile like, and will it suit long playing sessions?
The thin U-profile neck with 3-piece mahogany construction and perfectly balanced weight distribution reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions. The 42mm molded nut and ergonomic contour provide comfortable fretting access without compromising stability.
What pickups are installed, and can I shape the tone?
The guitar ships with an EMG 60TW-R brushed chrome neck pickup with pull-tone splitting capability and an EMG 81 brushed chrome bridge pickup. Active electronics include separate bridge and neck volume controls, a tone control with push/pull function, and a toggle switch for comprehensive tonal shaping without excessive complexity.
What finish and binding does this model feature?
The EC-1000ET features a bold extra-thick metallic silver binding with a satin black body finish, giving it a refined, workmanlike appearance that announces premium character on stage or in the studio.
