Description
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.
