ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM Flamed Maple - See Thru Black Cherry

The LTD Deluxe EC-1000T CTM is built for serious musicians who demand high-end tone, feel, and aesthetics—without the boutique price tag. The "T" stands for "Traditional," referencing its full-thickness, chambered mahogany body—offering vintage-style heft and tone, but with improved comfort thanks to weight relief. Unlike the standard EC-1000, this model has no waist cut, and it features elegant multi-ply binding on both the body and headstock for a truly refined look.

Topped with a striking flamed maple cap and finished in See Thru Black Cherry, this guitar pairs its beauty with serious performance. The set-thru 3-piece mahogany neck (24.75" scale) has a satin finish for smooth playability, and the Macassar ebony fingerboard is fitted with 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets for durability and effortless bends.

Powering the EC-1000T CTM is a set of Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers, offering three distinct voicings:

• Voice 1: Modern active
• Voice 2: PAF-style passive
• Voice 3: Single-coil clarity

These are selectable via push-pull pots on both volume and tone controls—giving you massive tonal flexibility for any genre.

Additional premium features include gold hardware, LTD locking tuners, and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece for rock-solid tuning stability and sustain.
