Description
ESP LTD RS-1000 Pearl White Electric Guitar — B-Stock
The RS-1000 delivers a lightweight, supremely playable platform anchored by its extra-thin U neck profile and 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard. The neck-through mahogany construction with three-piece maple reinforcement creates solid sustain and resonance while maintaining exceptional comfort during extended recording and rehearsal sessions. This instrument strikes a refined balance between aggressive aesthetics and refined ergonomic design, finished in striking Pearl White with a matching reverse headstock.
Playability & Recording Precision
The extra-thin U neck profile paired with a 13.7-inch fingerboard radius enables fast, articulate lead tracking and precise finger positioning across the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. The 24.75" scale length provides clear note definition and controlled string response ideal for layered tracking sessions, and the neck-through construction ensures zero dead spots and uninhibited fret access all the way to the upper register for versatile part capture.
Tone & Studio Electronics
The pairing of EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck) active pickups with direct-mount design captures articulate, controlled highs and warm, compressed lows essential for punchy rock and metal rhythm tracks that sit decisively in a mix. The Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws maintains rock-solid tuning stability through tracked whammy bar effects and modulation work, while the locking nut eliminates slippage at the headstock for session reliability.
