The ESP LTD EC1000 is an excellent upgrade and it's a stock guitar! Review: Erm...5 stars. Lovely feel and build quality, lovely trim design. Excellent pick-ups and action. Stays in tune. Compliments my Gibson Les Paul. Classic EMG over-driven sound. Has a a nice really punchy clean sound. Review: I bought the ec 1000 a couple of weeks ago and I gotta say, I'm crazy about this guitar. The black finish and gold hardware on it makes for a beautiful look and the abalone on the inlays and around the body and fret board looks awesome. The emg pick ups are great for long sustains, punchy palm muting, and shrieking pinch harmonics. I don't know why people complain you can only play metal with these pick-ups though. Sure, they're really good for that, but they also have beautiful clean tones and even manage some decent classic rock or bluesy tones as well. If I really want to be a stiffler about my more vintage tones then I will use my strat, but this guitar usually sounds fine for those as well it's just not a blues machine or anything. I also love the playability of this guitar. Shredding up and down the neck feels so natural and easy, I just want to do it all day when I pick this up. Hands down this is probably one of the best modernized, metallised LP kind of copies you can get for such a cheap price. I highly recommend it!! ## Features - Designed to offer the tone, feel, looks, and quality that professional musicians need, while still being affordable - Has all of the classy LTD Deluxe features that set it apart in this range of guitars - Features abalone inlays and purfling, full body/neck/headstock binding, and premier components - Includes LTD locking tuners, Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and the aggression of active EMG 81/60 pickups - Also offers set-thru construction with a mahogany body, 3 pc. mahogany neck, and 24-fret pau ferro fingerboard ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002GUDQ8 | | Back Material | Mahogany Wood | | Body Material | Wood | | Color Name | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (23) | | Date First Available | 4 August 2012 | | Fretboard Material | Rosewood | | Guitar Bridge System | Tune-O-Matic | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | H-S | | Item Weight | 0.28 g | | Item model number | LEC1000BLK | | Neck Material Type | Mahogany | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Product Dimensions | 106.68 x 10.16 x 40.64 cm; 0.28 g | | Scale Length | 24.75 inches | | Size | Standard | | String Material | Nickel Steel | | Top Material | Mahogany Wood | ## Product Details - **Back material type:** Mahogany Wood - **Body material:** Wood - **Brand:** ESP GUITARS - **Colour:** Black - **Top material type:** Mahogany Wood ## Images ![ESP GUITARS LTD EC-1000 Electric Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51rbIo4Q0aL.jpg) ![ESP GUITARS LTD EC-1000 Electric Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51r3loVYnVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Are these made in China now?** A: I just bought mine last year and the one I got is made in Indonesia. I’m happy with the quality for its price. I’m pretty sure these were only made in Indonesia or Korea. **Q: what is the edge of fretboard like are the fret wires sharp (like a cheapie) or have they been smoothed out (like a good one) ?** A: I haven't noticed I won't have access to that particular model for 3 weeks to check. I feel like that's something I would've noticed though. I have an ec1000 fr and they're smoothed over. The build on the two are identical aside from set ups and the fret wires are rounded off on the ends. I do love both models though. With the right strings and some better pickups I'd pick them over my premium usa models. **Q: what kind of strings are recommended for EC-1000 black?** A: 10-46 is standard....... Brands are similar..... try a New brand each time until you find one you like. **Q: do you ship it to Greece and what's the cost?** A: Im sure the cost of over seas shipping is almost as much as the guitar ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***D on 1 November 2017* Erm...5 stars.

I even had it set up twice. After reading many reviews I thought I'd give the EC-1000 a try. Very glad I did. It plays better, and stays in tune better. Beautiful craftsmanship, sounds perfect. Love the locking tuners and the TonePros bridge. This thing plays like a $2k guitar!! ## Frequently Bought Together - ESP LTD EC-1000 Electric Guitar, Black - Ernie Ball Polypro Guitar Strap, White (P04036) - New bee Guitar Cable 20 ft Electric Instrument Cable Bass AMP Cord 1/4 Straight to Straight for Electric Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electric Mandolin, Pro Audio (Right Angle) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/381244121-esp-guitars-ltd-ec-1000-electric-black](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/381244121-esp-guitars-ltd-ec-1000-electric-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
