ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000 Electric Guitar

reviews

This guitar is a beauty with a thick, fat tone to boot.

Featuring a set mahogany neck with 24-3/4" scale, topped with a rosewood fretboard adorned with abalone flags plus the model name at the 12th fret. TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece keep tuning rock-solid. The see-thru black, cherry, blue and green models feature a pair of EMG-81/60 pickups, while the amber sunburst model sports a Seymour Duncan JB/59 setup.

Review

We sat down with this guitar for some time and really enjoyed it.  An obvious guitar inspired from the Gibson Les Paul but featuring advanced electronics and 24 frets.  The guitars weight is somewhat less than the heavy les Paul and the necks action and feel are right on the money.  The controls are easy to access and logical.  The EMG pickup provide excellent warm tones while still able to put out the crunch when driven.  If we had to identify a flaw or annoyance the 23rd and 24th fret are a bit difficult to reach.
