Fluence-equipped Single-cut with an Eye-grabbing Quilt Top

Guitarists looking to stand out — both visually and sonically — will relish in the EC-1000QM, thanks to its head-turning quilt top and premium Fishman Fluence active electronics. The EC-1000QM's mahogany single-cut body and set-through mahogany neck unleash truckloads of resonance and sustain upon your amp of choice. Modern metal to classic rock, this one guitar has you covered for a wide range of musical styles. The secret lies in a set of multi-voice Fluence Modern humbucker pickups, which blend alnico and ceramic magnets and some seriously high-tech tonal voodoo to give you hum-free ultra-high output, all with the chime, squish, and sparkle of your favorite classics. The EC-1000QM features a TonePros locking ToM bridge/tailpiece and locking LTD tuners to give you precision intonation and stability. Factor in a modern-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets, and the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-1000QM from Sweetwater has all your bases covered for high-gain chuggas to creamy classic solos.

Single-cut body style blends classic looks with modern performance

Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's LTD Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the EC-1000QM truly epic sustain, whereas its slightly arched top provides comfortable hand positioning no matter what your playing style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway for easy access to all 24 frets, and with the EC-1000QM from Sweetwater, you're equipped for all manner of rock, metal, and shred tones.

Fluence Modern active pickups give you endless tonal options

Thanks to the EC-1000QM's Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, you'll be able to harness multiple eras of sought-after humbucker tones. These pickups provide you with your choice of two unique, selectable voices. Revel in the tight bass, crisp highs, and subtle growl supplied by the Fluence's modern active pickup voice. Or if you're feeling a bit gnarly, these pickups' high-output humbucker voice is tailor-made for distortion. Guitarists at Sweetwater are shocked by the range of sounds that can be milked out of the EC-1000QM, and we're confident that you will be, too.

TonePros bridge and LTD locking tuners

Players who are choosy about tuning, action, and intonation will delight in the EC-1000QM's ToM-style TonePros bridge/tailpiece and locking LTD tuners. The TonePros is a common aftermarket upgrade on many single-cut guitars. Its six adjustable saddles provide precise intonation and enhanced sustain for chords and leads. At the other end of the guitar, a set of LTD locking tuners provides slip-free performance, for stage and studio tuning stability you can depend on.

The LTD series: ESP style and substance at a modest price
