ESP-LTD EC-1000 CARS CANDY APPLE RED SATIN/Seymour Duncan/ ELECTRIC GUITAR
The ESP LTD EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin is a sleek, modern single-cut built for players who demand crushing metal tones, slick playability and rock-solid tuning stability. With its set-thru mahogany construction, ultra-fast Thin U neck and cutting-edge Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice active humbuckers, this EC-1000 is ready for tight rhythm work, fluid leads and everything in between.
Finished in a striking Candy Apple Red Satin with matching headstock and black hardware, it looks every bit as aggressive as it sounds. Stainless steel frets, locking hardware and a TonePros locking TOM bridge keep things precise and reliable, while the versatile 3-voice pickup system lets you flip from saturated high-gain to articulate cleans at the pull of a knob.
Whether you are chugging in low tunings, playing technical riffs or delivering soaring solos, the EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin gives you the feel and response you need, night after night.
Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice Active Humbuckers
The EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin is loaded with Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice active humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. These direct-mount pickups offer three distinct voices, accessed via the push/pull volume and tone controls, so you can move from tight, percussive high-gain to more open, dynamic textures without changing guitars. The active design keeps your signal powerful and noise-free, ideal for modern metal and high-gain rock.
Fast Thin U Neck and Macassar Ebony Fingerboard
A 3-piece mahogany neck with ESPs Thin U profile delivers a fast, comfortable feel that suits rapid riffing and intricate lead work. The Macassar ebony fingerboard adds snap and clarity to your tone while providing a smooth, dense playing surface. Combined with a 350 mm radius and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, bends feel effortless and complex chords remain clear across the neck.
Set-Thru Mahogany Construction
The set-thru neck construction and mahogany body work together for excellent sustain and a rich, full-bodied sound. Set-thru builds offer the upper-fret access of a neck-thru with the punch and familiarity of a set-neck, giving you a responsive instrument that sings on leads and stays tight under heavy palm-muted riffs.
Locking Hardware and TonePros Bridge
With LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking Tune-o-Matic bridge and tailpiece, the EC-1000 Candy Apple Red Satin is engineered for stability. The locking design helps keep your tuning solid through aggressive playing and frequent string changes, while the TonePros bridge enhances sustain and ensures precise intonation for accurate performance on stage and in the studio.
