Get to know them!

You can coax endless tones out of this stunning ESP LTD EC-1000 thanks to its elevated tonewood selection and amp-punishing EMG humbuckers. The EC-1000's mahogany single-cut body and set-through mahogany neck unleash truckloads of resonance and sustain upon your amp of choice. From modern metal to classic rock, this guitar has you covered for a wide range of musical styles, with EMG 81/60 pickups unleashing a high-output blast of active aggression. Plus, the EC-1000 features a TonePros locking TOM-style bridge/tailpiece and locking LTD tuners to give you precision intonation and stability. Factor in a modern-radius ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, and the ESP LTD EC-1000 has all your bases covered for high-gain chugs, gravity-defying solos, and everything in between.

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-1000 truly epic sustain, while its slightly arched top provides comfortable hand positioning, regardless of your playing style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway for unfettered access to all 24 frets, and with the EC-1000, you're equipped for all manner of rock, metal, and shred tones.

TonePros bridge and LTD locking tuners

Players who are particular about tuning, action, and intonation will delight in the EC-1000'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.

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

See how Sweetwater goes to great lengths to give you the very best online guitar buying experience.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!
