ESP LTD EC-1000ET Evertune Flamed Maple Guitar B-Stock
Description
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.

At a Glance
The EC-1000ET is a studio-focused instrument built for hard rock, metal, and progressive sessions where tuning stability and tonal versatility matter as much as construction quality. The Seymour Duncan Jazz neck pickup delivers warm, balanced clean tones and crunch, while the JB bridge pickup cuts through with articulate power on leads and rhythms; passive electronics with coil-split add recording flexibility. The Evertune bridge eliminates tuning drift mid-session, so you capture takes without recalibration—a major advantage for overdub and live-to-tape tracking. This B-Stock model delivers premium construction at a fraction of standard retail pricing.
