    I have played LP's for 35 years. Wanted to change it up and got this EC1000S for the lighter weight and a CTM version that's got the body and weight of a Gibson. Quality of both these is top notch, better than my last Custom Shop LP. Fluence pu's are versatile and awesome.

  • Bad electronics/soldering.

    I recently got this guitar and either the neck pickup is dead or the selector switch is faulty. Kind of ridiculous for the price. The pickup that does work sounds amazing but not happy with the hassle of getting it repaired.

  • Very nice build quality

    The guitar is fantastic, for the money you are getting a quality instrument that would match any high end $5000 guitar, you can tell that it was made with care and with the player in mind it's also very versatile, anything from blues/surf, to heavy metal and shred.

    What is the difference in the 3 or 4 different models of pickups on the ESP LTD EC-1000? There is the Duncan, the Fluence, etc.

    Hi, what is the blemish on this guitar? Thanks Jim

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