Description

The LTD EC-1000 Fluence is a premium electric guitar that offers professional musicians a spectrum of tones as diverse as its chameleon-like finish. Boasting a resonant, mahogany body in a violet andromeda finish with multiple shades of purple, blue and green, the EC-1000 Fluence is as stunning visually as it is sonically. At its heart lie Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups which provide two selectable voices—an articulate, chime-like single-coil-like tone and a hot, crunchy humbucker tone—for tonal options as endless as your creativity. A fast mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with 24 extra jumbo frets grant effortless playability all over the fretboard. For precision intonation and slip-free performance, the EC-1000 Fluence features a TonePros locking bridge and LTD locking tuners. The EC-1000 Fluence delivers professional grade tone, feel and esthetics for guitarists ready to redefine the boundaries of their sound.

Fluence Pickups Unlock a Spectrum of Coveted Tones

The EC-1000 Fluence is equipped with Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups which blend alnico and ceramic magnets to produce two distinct voices—an articulate single-coil-like tone and a hot humbucker tone—at the flip of a switch. Revel in the tight bass, crisp highs and subtle overdrive of the single-coil voice or unleash the Fluence's ceramic fury for high-output distortion. With the EC-1000 Fluence, you'll have instant access to the entire palette of tones that have defined the electric guitar.

Premium Mahogany Body Resonates with Visual Depth

The EC-1000 Fluence's mahogany body resonates with woody warmth and singing sustain while its violet andromeda finish shifts between hypnotic shades of purple, blue and green. A slightly arched top and beveled edges provide playing comfort and dual cutaways grant easy access to the higher frets. Visually and tonally, the EC-1000 Fluence delivers depth and nuance in spades.

Fast Mahogany Neck and Ebony Fingerboard Enable Fluid Playability

The EC-1000 Fluence features a three-piece mahogany neck for strength and stability and an ebony fingerboard with 24 extra jumbo frets for fluid, low-friction playability across the fretboard. A thin U-shaped profile provides comfort for extended playing sessions while a modern radius fosters fast, precise fingering. For guitarists seeking to expand their creative palette, the EC-1000 Fluence delivers a playing experience as unrestricted as its sonic capabilities.

Robust Hardware Provides Rock-Solid Performance

The EC-1000 Fluence features premium hardware for functionality and tonal enhancement. A TonePros locking bridge provides precision intonation and maximum sustain. LTD locking tuners keep the EC-1000 Fluence in tune through the most intense performances. For professional grade tone, feel and esthetics with the potential for endless sonic reinvention, look no further than the LTD EC-1000 Fluence, available now at Guitar Center.

    This is my first guitar. I've been playing the ESP since May 2022 I learned on a Squier Tele, and had an old Baltimore to practice on until I was ready to buy my own. Out of the box this guitar needed very little setup. This guitar definitely has an aggressive sound, and is easy to play. Great sustain. The only drawback is that I run through batteries. Beautiful finish, black hardware completes the look. I get compliments everywhere I take it.

    I traded in my ec1000 deluxe Korean made guitar with emg for this beauty. They both are amazing guitars but with the ability to coil tap and have these modern fishman influences.. it just called to me! I find this just in the area for me to expand my sounds with my other guitars. Def amazing neck profile and the weight is great! Would I upgrade this? Maybe in the near future for an esp but for this price I am very pleased and can't wait to start recording with it.

    Was really disappointed with the Fish man Fluency pick ups. They sounded lackluster compared to my Emg Bone Breakers. All this talk about them handling gain and distortion. They didn't sound aggressive enough. Returned guitar, got an "Iron Cross" instead, sweet!

  • After much research, I bought the EC 1000 Violet Andromeda !

    This is my first guitar, the EC-1000 Violet Andromeda....Beautiful and in near perfect tune right out of the box ! Terrific long unamplified sustain as well. My younger friends were visibly impressed and uttered "That's Sick !" It is a fine instrument with great tone as well as a work of art !

    What material is the nut

    It's plastic

    The Violet Andromeda used to come with regular Nickel frets, but a couple of months ago ESP said the entire LTD Deluxe line would be manufactured with stainless steel frets from that point on. I would like to know if the guitars being sold right now are from before or after that change, as I'd much rather have stainless steel frets.

    They're probably steel - the guitar is on back order. We don't have any yet

    What is the nut material and does it ship in a gig bag?

    This guitar has a plastic nut. It does not come with a case or a gig bag.
