ESP LTD EC-1000S Fluence Electric Guitar Black B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD EC-1000S Fluence Electric Guitar Black B-Stock
The EC-1000S Fluence locks in through extended recording and performance sessions with its Thin U neck contour—fast, comfortable, and ergonomic for hours behind the instrument. This set-thru mahogany construction delivers substantial sustain and resonance that translates clearly to tape, rewarding both aggressive riffing and nuanced lead articulation. A professional-grade single-cut engineered for studio and live applications where tonal flexibility and reliability are non-negotiable.
Playability & Build Quality
The 24.75" scale with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a Macassar ebony fingerboard (350mm radius) creates a responsive, durable playing surface that handles both bending and precision work. Set-thru construction with a 3-piece mahogany neck and mahogany body generates the sustain and tonal depth that cuts through a mix without sacrifice, while TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece paired with LTD locking tuners holds tuning rock-solid through long tracking sessions and back-to-back takes.
Recording & Tone Shaping
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—Alnico in the neck, Ceramic in the bridge—capture versatile, articulate tones across multiple voicings accessible via push/pull tone control, giving you quick voice switching for different song sections and mic positions without swapping guitars. The active electronics layout (Volume/Volume/Tone with Push/Pull/Toggle Switch) and included D'Addario XL110 strings are optimized for clarity and punch in the mix, delivering articulate tracking tones and responsive dynamics that sit well alongside drums, bass, and synths.
