ESP
Description

Sharp lines, fast response and a no-compromise build define this modern electric guitar. The ESP LTD Arrow-1000 is designed for players who want aggressive styling matched with precision engineering, delivering a feel that stays solid under high gain and high speed. Built with neck-thru-body construction at a 25.5" scale length, this guitar pairs a mahogany body with an extra-thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck for strong sustain and immediate attack. Every element of the Arrow-1000 is focused on performance, making it a reliable platform for demanding modern playing styles.

Fishman Fluence Modern Pickups With Three Voicings

The Arrow-1000 is loaded with Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice humbuckers, using a ceramic pickup in the bridge and an alnico pickup in the neck. This configuration provides a wide range of usable tones, moving from tight high-gain sounds to clear articulate cleans. A push-pull control allows quick switching between voicings, making it easy to adapt to different musical contexts without changing instruments.

Floyd Rose 1000SE Bridge for Confident Control

A Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking bridge anchors the LTD Arrow-1000, providing the tuning stability required for aggressive vibrato, dive bombs and wide pitch shifts. Designed for precision and durability, the bridge maintains accurate intonation and smooth operation even under heavy use, making it a dependable choice for live performance and studio work.

Neck and Fingerboard Built for Speed

The extra-thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck is engineered for fast technical playing, offering a smooth consistent feel across the fretboard. A Macassar ebony fingerboard carries 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, providing a slick playing surface with long-term durability and effortless bends. A reverse headstock and single-ply binding on the neck and headstock reinforce the guitar’s modern aggressive aesthetic.

Neck-Thru Construction With Road-Ready Hardware

Neck-thru-body construction enhances sustain and structural strength by running the maple neck through the mahogany body. Black hardware, including precise Grover tuners, completes the build with reliable performance and long-term stability. Every component on the Arrow-1000 is chosen to support consistency, durability and confidence under intense playing conditions.

A Modern ESP LTD Electric Guitar Built to Perform

The ESP LTD Arrow-1000 electric guitar is built for players who prioritize speed, control and precision. From its neck-thru construction and stainless steel frets to its multi-voice Fluence pickups and Floyd Rose bridge, every detail supports high-energy performance. Whether on stage or in the studio, the Arrow-1000 delivers the responsiveness, versatility and authority expected from a modern ESP electric guitar.

    I have never owned a more fun guitar to play. This guitar has everything. It looks amazing. It plays amazing. It sounds amazing. My only (minor) gripe is that there is a tad bit of fret buzz, but only if you play unplugged, which you'll never want to do with such a fantastic sounding guitar. Guitar comes loaded with the Daddario XL strings (tens I believe) and is set nicely in standard tuning. Beware that if you are wanting the hard shell case, the only one that fits perfectly is the ESP Alexi form fitting case from ESP, and it is not cheap.

    Hi, I am looking for the ESP LTD Violet Andromeda guitar and I am having difficulties finding it in my country. For this reason I am curious if it is possible to ship the guitar to Sweden? I saw in the FAQ that there is a international site but I did have difficulties accessing it which is why I write to ask. Thank you so much in advance and I hope you have a very nice day! Kind regards Emma

    What is the blemish on? Any pictures?

    Open Reply - Kenneth
    Unfortunately additional pictures are unavailable. Blemishes are slight and do not affect the tone or play ability of the instrument.

    What does open box mean?

    Open Reply - Ronald
    It means that it's a like-new instrument, just the box isn't sealed.
    Open Reply - Beau
    Open box means the item has been opened and tested, so it is new but may be lightly used.
