ESP LTD TH-1000 Electric Guitar Snow White B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD TH-1000 Electric Guitar Snow White B-Stock
The TH-1000 captures articulate, controlled tones through a resonant swamp ash body paired with a thin, fast neck profile that keeps playing effort minimal during extended tracking sessions. This professional-grade instrument is engineered to deliver versatile, studio-ready character across recording chains—from clean rhythm captures to aggressive lead overdubs. The Snow White finish with matching headstock presents a striking, clean aesthetic that photographs well for artwork and project documentation.
Playability & Construction
The bolt-on design pairs a swamp ash body with a thin U-shaped three-piece roasted maple neck at 25.5" scale, creating a responsive instrument that minimizes hand fatigue during marathon session days while maintaining structural stability across temperature and humidity changes. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets with offset dot inlays and a 350mm fingerboard radius, enabling precise intonation and smooth transitions whether you're tracking clean parts or aggressive riffs.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice Active Humbuckers with direct mounting deliver three distinct tonal characters accessible via push-pull controls on volume and tone, allowing real-time voice switching between takes without breaking your hands free or stopping tape. The Hipshot hardtail fixed bridge with string-thru-body design maximizes sustain and tuning stability throughout long sessions, while black hardware and a black bone nut ensure consistent signal integrity across the entire signal path.
