Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with burled poplar top and set-thru maple neck give this guitar a firm low end and sustaining midrange, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and 25.5" scale tighten note definition for fast, articulate lines. The Seymour Duncan Pegasus bridge pickup pushes clear, aggressive attack under high gain, and the Sentient neck pickup keeps cleans and lead work warm and dynamic, with a push-pull tone control for added voicing options. Best suited to modern metal, progressive rock and technical lead playing, especially for players who want the Floyd Rose 1000SE for dive bombs and vibrato work without losing tuning.
ESP LTD H-1001FR Guitar Black Natural Burst B-Stock
The H-1001FR captures articulate, controlled tones in the studio with its thin U-contoured neck and set-thru construction, enabling precise finger positioning for clean tracking and layered overdubs. Its burled poplar top over mahogany body contributes woody midrange character that sits well in dense mixes, while the Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge with stainless steel components maintains tuning integrity across extended sessions. This B-Stock unit is unplayed and fully functional—a premium ESP instrument at a significant discount, marked only by a white spot on the back.
Recording Performance & Build
The set-thru 3-piece maple neck with Thin U contour and 24 XJ stainless steel frets on a 350mm fingerboard radius enables consistent string-to-fret contact for transparent, articulate recordings. A 42mm locking nut paired with Grover tuners locks in tuning across takes, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard resists string wear during extended sessions and contributes tonal definition to direct input captures.
Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan Sentient neck pickup and Pegasus bridge pickup deliver articulate, dynamic response across both clean and high-gain applications. Passive electronics with volume, push-pull tone control, and a 3-way switch provide straightforward, reliable operation without active circuitry complications.

B-Stock means the guitar is unplayed and fully functional with only minor cosmetic imperfections. It carries the same ESP warranty as a new unit and arrives ready to play at a significant discount.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and high-gain playing?
Yes. The Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus pickups are designed for articulate high-gain response, the Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge locks in tuning through aggressive playing, and the tight low-end tone is tailored for metal and hard rock.
What neck profile does this have, and is it comfortable for long sessions?
The Thin U-contoured neck on a set-thru 3-piece maple construction minimizes fatigue during technical or extended playing. The 25.5-inch scale length and 24 XJ stainless steel frets on a 350mm radius fingerboard support fast, responsive playability.
Does this guitar have active electronics or a preamp?
No. The H-1001FR uses passive electronics with volume, push-pull tone control, and a 3-way switch, keeping the signal path transparent and maintenance-free.
How does the Floyd Rose bridge hold tuning?
The Floyd Rose 1000SE features stainless steel components, a 42mm locking nut, and Grover tuners designed to anchor tuning through aggressive stage work and dynamic playing.
