Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with flamed maple top and set-thru construction lend a warm, sustaining core with added top-end definition, while the 25.5" scale and Macassar ebony fingerboard tighten the low end and sharpen note attack. The Seymour Duncan Pegasus bridge pickup delivers focused, aggressive high-gain crunch for modern metal riffing and lead work, and the Sentient neck pickup stays articulate and clear under distortion for solos and cleaner passages. A push-pull coil split on the tone control thins things out to single-coil-style voices, and the Tonepros locking bridge with string-thru-body stringing helps the guitar stay resonant and in tune through heavy playing.
ESP LTD H3-1000 Guitar See Thru Purple Sunburst B-Stock
The H3-1000 delivers a comfortable, balanced feel in the hands with its thin U-contoured neck and set-thru construction that promotes seamless upper-fret access. This B-stock example shows only minor cosmetic wear while maintaining the full playability and tonal character of the original specification. The flamed maple top and see-thru purple sunburst finish create striking visual appeal without compromising the instrument's core performance.
Recording & Session Performance
A 25.5" scale with 24 stainless steel XJ frets ensures consistent intonation and note definition across tracking sessions, while the thin U neck contour supports extended playing endurance during long record dates. The set-thru construction delivers extended sustain and harmonic clarity essential for capturing punch and presence in the mix, and the 350mm fingerboard radius on Macassar ebony maintains precision whether tracking rhythm parts or laying down lead passes.
Tonal Character & Studio Versatility
The pairing of Seymour Duncan Sentient (neck) and Seymour Duncan Pegasus (bridge) pickups covers articulate, defined tones across the board, with the push-pull coil split on the tone control unlocking additional voice options for blending different textures into your productions. A Tonepros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design anchors intonation stability while maximizing resonance through the mahogany body, and LTD locking tuners maintain tuning integrity across multiple takes without drift.
