Sound & Tone
Swamp ash and a flamed maple top with a roasted maple neck and Macassar ebony board give this LTD a firm, snappy foundation, and the 25.5" scale keeps low tunings tight and defined. The direct-mounted Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil active humbuckers cover a wide span through their three voices, moving from thick, aggressive high-gain rhythm tones to more articulate, refined leads and cleaner passages via the push-pull volume and tone controls. With the EverTune bridge holding pitch and intonation under heavy picking and drop tunings, it suits modern metal, progressive and hard rock playing, as well as studio work where tuning consistency matters.
ESP LTD TH-1000ET Evertune Guitar See Thru Black Sunburst
The TH-1000ET delivers a thin U-shaped neck profile that sits comfortably in hand, paired with a 25.5" scale that balances traditional ergonomics with modern playability demands. Its swamp ash body and flamed maple top create a visually striking instrument that performs with equal sophistication, anchored by the game-changing EverTune constant-tension bridge that maintains perfect intonation regardless of environmental conditions or aggressive playing styles.
Construction & Hardware
Built with bolt-on construction, this guitar features a three-piece roasted maple neck paired to a swamp ash body with figured flamed maple top—a combination that delivers resonance and stability ideal for capturing definition across session work. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with 12-inch radius accommodates both vintage-style and modern playing techniques, while the 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets withstand years of heavy use without requiring leveling, ensuring consistent output during long tracking days.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice Active Humbuckers (direct-mounted, bridge and neck positions) deliver switchable tonal palettes through push-pull controls on volume and tone—Voice 1 engages passively, while Voices 2 and 3 activate via pull controls, providing texture range from thick and aggressive to articulate and refined across overdubs and arrangement layers. The EverTune bridge eliminates tuning drift entirely, critical for drop tunings, alternate tuning sessions, and multi-day recording blocks where intonation stability determines mix clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EverTune bridge and why does it matter for recording and touring?
The EverTune is a constant-tension bridge that maintains perfect intonation regardless of environmental conditions, aggressive playing, or tuning changes. For touring musicians, this eliminates tuning drift from temperature swings and heavy playing; for studio work, it ensures consistent intonation across multiple takes and tuning experiments without retuning between sessions.
How do the 3-Voice Seymour Duncan pickups work and what tones can I get?
The dual Mortal Coil humbuckers offer three switchable voices via push-pull controls on volume and tone: Voice 1 is passive, while Voices 2 and 3 activate via pull controls, delivering textures from thick and aggressive to articulate and refined. This gives you three distinct tonal palettes from a single pair of pickups for both recording versatility and live sound shaping.
Is this guitar suitable for genres other than metal and hard rock?
The TH-1000ET is optimized for hard rock, metal, progressive, and studio sessions; it is not recommended for traditional jazz, folk, or worship styles due to its voiced pickup design and aggressive tonal profile. Its 25.5" scale and modern construction are intermediate to advanced and professional level.
What is included and what are the neck and fretboard specs?
The guitar ships as pictured with a three-piece roasted maple neck (thin U-shaped profile), Macassar ebony fingerboard with 12-inch radius, 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets, black bone nut, and LTD locking tuners. The 25.5" scale length and bolt-on construction balance traditional ergonomics with modern playability for both vintage and contemporary techniques.
How does this compare to other professional metal guitars like the Ibanez RG Custom or Schecter Hellraiser?
The TH-1000ET stands apart with its EverTune constant-tension bridge—a game-changing feature that the RG Custom and Hellraiser do not offer—making it the clear choice if tuning stability and intonation across drop tunings and aggressive play are priorities. Its 3-voice active pickup switching and swamp ash/flamed maple construction deliver comparable versatility and tonal sophistication to the Schecter and Ibanez platforms.
