Description

When your music demands complete tonal freedom, the ESP LTD Deluxe TH-1000 answers with precision, power and expressive versatility. This souped-up take on a classic design pairs a resonant swamp ash body with a thin U-shaped three-piece roasted maple neck for a responsive, balanced foundation, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets allows lightning-fast runs, wide bends and articulate phrasing. At its core is a pair of direct-mounted Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-voice active humbuckers, an ESP-exclusive system that puts a massive tonal arsenal at your fingertips. With intuitive push-pull controls, you can instantly cycle through three distinct voices—shifting from crystalline, hi-fi cleans to articulate mid-gain crunch and crushing high-output leads. Coupled with a Hipshot hardtail bridge, string-thru-body design and LTD locking tuners, the TH-1000 is a professional-grade instrument built to adapt instantly to any style, stage or studio environment.

Swamp Ash Body for Resonant Tone and Lightweight Playability

The LTD TH-1000’s swamp ash body delivers a striking balance of warmth, snap and clarity across the tonal spectrum. Its natural resonance emphasizes full-bodied lows, articulate mids and bright, singing highs, making it an ideal canvas for both clean passages and high-gain aggression. Lightweight yet structurally robust, the body ensures long hours of stage and studio use without fatigue. Coupled with a string-thru-body Hipshot hardtail bridge, the ash top promotes consistent sustain and resonance, allowing notes to ring with clarity and punch while preserving precise intonation across the fretboard.

Three-Piece Roasted Maple Neck and Macassar Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Stability

The LTD TH-1000 features a thin U-shaped, three-piece roasted maple neck engineered for maximum stability and comfortable playability. Roasting enhances the wood’s density, reducing susceptibility to environmental changes while providing a snappy, responsive feel. Topped with a Macassar ebony fingerboard, the 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets glide effortlessly for fast legato runs, wide bends and technical precision. Offset dot inlays provide clear position reference, while the smooth neck contour allows effortless movement across all frets. Together, the neck and fingerboard create a platform that is both fast and resilient, built to handle the most demanding performances.

Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice Humbuckers for Unmatched Tonal Versatility

The ESP-exclusive Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil pickups are a centerpiece of the TH-1000’s sonic flexibility. These active three-voice humbuckers deliver aggressive high-gain tones, punchy midrange clarity and warm, articulate cleans. Push-pull controls allow players to switch between multiple pickup voices on the fly, offering coil-splitting and tonal shaping without complex wiring. The bridge and neck pickups are direct-mounted for maximum resonance and dynamic response, ensuring every note cuts through the mix. Whether performing metal riffs, intricate leads or jazz-inflected chord voicings, the TH-1000 provides expressive, professional-grade tone across all musical styles.

Hipshot Hardtail Bridge and LTD Locking Tuners for Stability and Reliability

The Hipshot string-thru hardtail bridge provides precise intonation, increased sustain and solid tuning stability for high-energy performances. LTD locking tuners complement this system, allowing fast string changes and minimizing slippage, while the black bone nut ensures smooth string travel and consistent action. Black hardware ties together the guitar’s aesthetic, delivering a modern, aggressive look that matches its performance pedigree. Together, these components create a guitar that can endure the rigors of touring, studio work and extended sessions without sacrificing tuning accuracy or tactile control.

Professional-Grade Playability and Performance for Serious Guitarists

The ESP LTD Deluxe TH-1000 combines speed, tonal versatility and rugged reliability into a single, stage-ready instrument. Its swamp ash body, roasted maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard provide exceptional playability, while Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil pickups and push-pull voice controls offer a wide tonal palette. Premium hardware, including Hipshot hardtail bridge and LTD locking tuners, ensures stable tuning and effortless performance. Lightweight, durable and visually striking, the TH-1000 is designed to meet the demands of professional guitarists seeking a versatile, modern instrument capable of delivering everything from crushing leads to nuanced clean passages with uncompromising clarity.
