ESP LTD PHOENIX-1001 QM Guitar Tobacco Sunburst
The PHOENIX-1001 QM is engineered for studio tracking and live session work, delivering a fast, comfortable neck that sustains hours of overdub takes without fatigue. The neck-thru-body construction produces punchy, articulate tones with excellent clarity and sustain—ideal for capturing aggressive rock and metal rhythms as well as precise lead layers. The guitar responds intuitively to pick attack and dynamics, transitioning seamlessly from clean rhythm passes to heavily distorted power chords while maintaining full tonal control in the mix.
Playability & Recording Stability
The thin U-shaped neck and 25.5" scale length combine with a 350mm fretboard radius to create a fast playing surface that tracks cleanly across multiple takes. Twenty-two extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a macassar ebony fingerboard deliver superior sustain and consistency session to session, while the molded 42mm nut ensures precise string spacing and intonation lock—critical for stacking harmonies and layering parts.
Tone & Recording Electronics
A Seymour Duncan Custom 14 humbucker at the bridge provides the core recording tone—splittable via push-pull tone control to dial between thick, saturated lead tracks and articulate single-coil-like clarity for rhythm work. The TonePros TOM locking bridge and tailpiece combined with LTD locking tuners ensure rock-solid tuning stability across long sessions and maximum sustain transfer to the body for resonant, focused recordings.
