Description
Sound & Tone
Mahogany with a flamed maple cap and set-thru construction gives this single-cutaway a thick, sustaining midrange, while the Macassar ebony board and stainless jumbo frets keep note attack tight and articulate at the 24.75" scale. The Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge delivers cutting, high-output crunch and lead bite for hard rock and metal rhythm work, and the Jazz neck pickup rounds things out with warmer, more balanced cleans and smooth solos; the push/pull coil-split thins both positions for chime-ier, single-coil-leaning parts. The Evertune bridge holds pitch under heavy picking and drop tunings, making it a practical choice for aggressive rhythm playing, drop-tuned riffing, and layered studio tracking.
ESP LTD EC-1000ET Evertune Flamed Maple Guitar B-Stock
The EC-1000ET captures articulate, sustained tones in the studio with its set-thru construction, thin U-neck contour, and 24.75" scale that enables fast tracking and overdub work. Visually striking with its See Thru Black finish and flamed maple cap, this instrument locks tuning stability across multitrack sessions with the Evertune bridge system—eliminating the intonation drift that derails punch-in edits and layered guitar parts. Purpose-built for professional studio tracking, this B-stock unit delivers full construction integrity and hardware quality at significant savings.
Construction & Materials
Set-thru construction bonds a mahogany body with flamed maple cap directly to a three-piece mahogany neck, translating to focused sustain and controlled decay ideal for studio layering and signal chain integration. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets ensures clean high-fret articulation during session work, while multi-ply binding across the body, neck, and headstock reinforces structural reliability across long recording days.
Electronics & Bridge Technology
The pairing of Seymour Duncan Jazz neck pickup (warm, balanced) with a Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup (articulate, powerful) covers versatile session ground through a passive electronics layout with dual volume controls, single tone with push/pull coil-split, and three-way toggle switching for quick tone shaping during takes. The Evertune F-model bridge with Grover tuners maintains precise intonation independent of temperature shifts in the studio, humidity changes, or aggressive tracking dynamics—eliminating tuning maintenance between passes.

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 does it affect playability or tone?
B-Stock means the guitar carries minor cosmetic imperfections—light marks on the finish and hardware—but zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. It arrives with full manufacturer warranty and is ready to perform at a significant discount.
How does the Evertune bridge work, and why does it matter?
The Evertune F-model bridge uses a compensation system that maintains perfect intonation independent of temperature, humidity, or aggressive playing techniques. This eliminates tuning drift between songs or during long sessions, keeping the guitar stage-ready or session-ready without constant retuning.
What pickup combination does this guitar have, and what styles does it cover?
A Seymour Duncan Jazz pickup in the neck position delivers warm, balanced tones, while the Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup provides articulate, powerful clarity. The pairing covers hard rock, metal, progressive, and studio work, with a three-way toggle and push/pull coil-split for additional tonal range.
Is the neck comfortable for fast playing, and what's the scale length?
The thin U-contour neck and 24.75 scale balance fret access with natural hand position, while 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets support rapid note articulation without fatigue. The 350mm fingerboard radius and 42mm nut width keep playing smooth across all registers.
What's included with the guitar, and is it ready to play out of the box?
The EC-1000ET ships with D'Addario XL120 strings (.009–.042) pre-installed and is fully set up. Set-thru construction, Grover tuners, and the Evertune bridge mean immediate playability for both stage and studio without additional setup.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
