Under the hood, this guitar replaces standard pickups with a set of active Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers. Utilizing push/pull volume controls, these pickups unlock three completely distinct sonic voices. You can effortlessly switch from a vintage, sweet PAF humbucker growl to a hot-rodded modern output, or dial in a pristine, muscular single-coil chime. This makes the EC-1000T an absolute chameleon in the studio or on stage, handling everything from blues to high-gain metal.

Designed for fast, fluid fretwork, the guitar features a 3-piece mahogany set-thru neck carved into ESP’s famous "Thin U" profile. It is paired with a dark Macassar Ebony fingerboard loaded with 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, ensuring smooth bends and a fret lifespan that lasts forever. For rock-solid tuning stability, the EC-1000T is outfitted with premium LTD Locking Tuners and a Tonepros Locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, anchoring your strings down for maximum vibrational transfer.
