Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with maple cap and set-thru mahogany neck give a warm, sustaining foundation with added upper-end clarity, while the macassar ebony fingerboard and 24.75" scale keep attack tight and notes focused. The EMG 81 bridge pickup pushes hard, compressed, high-output distortion suited to metal, hard rock and modern riffing, and the EMG 60TW-R neck pickup covers cleaner, more articulate ground with a push-pull coil-split for thinner single-coil voices. Independent volume controls, a pull-tone switch and the EverTune bridge make it a practical choice for players who need consistent pitch under heavy picking and drop-tuned rhythm work, plus enough range for leads and clean passages.
ESP LTD EC-1000ET Evertune Guitar Bold Binding Black B-Stock
The EC-1000ET is engineered for studio tracking and live recording with its thin U-contour neck and set-thru construction, providing effortless upper-fret access for layered takes and complex arrangements. The striking bold metallic silver binding frames a sleek black satin finish, while the EverTune bridge maintains rock-solid intonation across the entire fretboard—critical for multi-take sessions, tuning-intensive passages, and zero-hassle re-amping. This B-stock model carries only minor cosmetic blemishes—no playability compromises—at a significant discount from standard pricing.
Recording & Performance
A 3-piece mahogany neck with thin U contour pairs with a macassar ebony fingerboard on a 350mm radius to enable fast, accurate tracking and comfortable marathon sessions. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets resist wear and provide consistent action across punch-in and multi-take recording work, while the 42mm molded nut spaces strings for precise intonation and repeatable articulation.
Tone Capture & Mix Integration
The mahogany body with maple cap delivers balanced resonance with sustain and depth that translates cleanly to tape and DAW, captured through a dual-EMG setup: EMG 60TW-R neck pickup with push-pull coil-split for single-coil versatility and dynamic range, and aggressive EMG 81 bridge pickup in brushed chrome for cutting rhythm and lead definition. Independent volume controls for each pickup plus a pull-tone switch and 3-way toggle provide comprehensive tonal palette—from articulate rhythm tones to saturated lead drives—all from a single instrument.

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 for this guitar?
B-Stock means the guitar is brand new and unplayed but carries a minor cosmetic factory blemish—such as a small finish mark—with no effect on playability, tone, or structure. It is covered by the full manufacturer warranty and sells for significantly less than a first-quality unit.
How does the EverTune bridge help during heavy playing?
The EverTune F-model bridge locks in tuning across the entire fretboard regardless of string bending or aggressive playing dynamics, eliminating drift during performances or recording sessions. You can bend and attack without re-tuning between takes.
What kind of tonal range do the EMG pickups provide?
The EMG 60TW neck pickup features a push-pull coil-split for articulate single-coil voicing, while the aggressive EMG 81 bridge pickup delivers saturated, high-output drive. Independent volume controls and a 3-way toggle give you comprehensive range from clean tones to full metal saturation.
Is the neck comfortable for fast playing and upper-fret access?
Yes—the 3-piece mahogany neck features a thin U contour and set-thru construction, both designed for speed and effortless access to upper frets. The 24.75 scale length feels familiar to players coming from standard Gibson-style guitars.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The EC-1000ET excels in hard rock, metal, progressive, and studio session work where tuning stability and versatile electronics are priorities. Its tone profile is not ideally voiced for folk, country, or jazz applications.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces collect sales tax as the facilitator in most states, so the same listed price can cost more there. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
