ESP LTD M-1000 Electric Guitar Candy Apple Red B-Stock
The M-1000 is engineered for studio and live recording applications, built around a neck-thru-body design with an extra-thin U-shaped neck and compound radius that supports both rapid lead tracking and open chord voicings for arrangement flexibility. The reverse headstock and alder body combine visual distinction with tonal clarity and sustain—assets that translate to defined, punchy recorded takes. This is a production-focused instrument built with precision hardware, high-output pickups, and professional-grade components that capture intention without compromise.
Playability & Construction
The three-piece maple neck and macassar ebony fingerboard with black binding provide structural rigidity and smooth fret action across 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. The compound radius fingerboard (300–400mm) balances comfort for chord work with stability during fast single-note passages, while the offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays offer clear position markers visible under studio and stage lighting.
Tone & Electronics
Direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers deliver articulate, high-output tones with alnico magnets in the neck position for warmth and ceramic in the bridge for aggression and cut—a pairing that records with clarity across mix frequencies. Push-pull controls activate a secondary voicing on each pickup, expanding your sonic palette within a single session take without adding complexity to the control layout. The Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge with stainless steel screws ensures tuning stability and precise intonation across aggressive playing techniques, critical for maintaining consistency across multiple takes.
