Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's timeless Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the Eclipse EC-1000 truly epic sustain; whereas its slightly arched top provides you with comfortable hand positioning, no matter your picking style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you open access to the Eclipse EC-1000's upper frets, and you're ready to fly up and down the neck.

ESP loaded up the Eclipse EC-1000 with a killer set of Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups. First there's the Eclipse EC-1000's neck pickup, a Seymour Duncan SH-2 model that gives you great articulation and bright tone, perfect for fast runs and rhythm playing. It's the perfect sonic complement to the Duncan SH-14 model pickup at the Eclipse EC-1000's bridge, whose much hotter output lets you hit your amp harder.

Guitarists at Sweetwater understand that multi-piece necks are more rigid and less prone to twisting or warping over the years. The extra rigidity also helps enhance sustain, especially with the EC-1000's set-in neck. Even if you gig a lot, you can expect the ESP LTD EC-1000 to stand the test of time.
