Sound & Tone
The chambered mahogany body with flamed maple cap and set-thru neck joint yields a warm, resonant midrange with long sustain and tight note definition, while the 24.75" scale keeps string tension relaxed and the low end thick. Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers with push-pull voicing switch between vintage-leaning, rounder tones and clearer, higher-output modern character, so the guitar covers classic rock and blues leads as readily as heavy rhythm work and metal. Macassar ebony and stainless steel frets add attack and clarity to picked lines, and 24 frets plus locking hardware make it a practical choice for players who spend time above the 12th fret or use aggressive picking dynamics.
ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM Guitar in See Thru Black Cherry B-Stock 1447
The EC-1000T CTM sits comfortably in the hand during long recording sessions thanks to its Thin U neck contour and moderate , reducing player fatigue across multiple takes. The Set-Thru construction couples the neck directly to the body for enhanced sustain and tonal coherence that translates clearly to tape, while the See Thru Black Cherry finish showcases the figured wood beneath with striking visual depth. Minor cosmetic blemishes on this B-stock unit do not affect playability—a genuine value on a professional-grade instrument.
Recording Response & Playability
The 24.75" scale with 24 XJ stainless steel frets and Macassar Ebony fingerboard at a 350mm radius captures articulate, responsive tracking across a wide dynamic range. A 42mm molded nut and Thin U neck profile in 3-piece mahogany create a neck that sits naturally in the hand, reducing string fatigue during intensive recording and overdub sessions.
Tone & Capture Options
Dual Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Humbuckers with push-pull voice controls deliver three distinct tonal characters—from warm, vintage-style fundamentals to modern, articulate presence—all powered passively for pure, uncolored signal path into your interface. A TonePros locking Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece paired with LTD locking tuners and gold hardware ensures rock-solid intonation and stability throughout long studio sessions.
