Looks, Tone, and Feel — This LTD Has it All

The ESP LTD EC-1000S Fluence supplies you with the classic look and feel of a single-cutaway, along with versatile active Fishman Fluence electronics to cover endless musical styles. The EC-1000S's 3-piece mahogany neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard, joined to a solid mahogany Eclipse body, are a recipe for great tone and playability. You can coax a wide range of sonic textures out of this guitar, thanks to its Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups. Experience dependable tuning stability and intonation, by virtue of a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece. Set-neck construction gives you long-lasting sustain and excellent articulation. Complete with an eye-grabbing finish, abalone binding, and attractive chrome hardware, the EC-1000S Fluence has it all.

Fishman Fluence Modern pickups give you endless tonal options

Thanks to the EC-1000S Fluence's Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, you'll be able to harness the most 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. The guitarists at Sweetwater are shocked by the range of sounds that can be milked out of the EC-1000S Fluence.

Eclipse body style blends classic looks with modern performance

Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's timeless Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the EC-1000S Fluence 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 EC-1000S Fluence's upper frets, and you're totally ready to shred.

Greatest guitar ever!

After eyeing this guitar for more than 6 months, I finally bit the bullet and got this as a present for myself! I upgraded from a Jackson JS11 dinky so this guitar feels just amazing! I'm so so glad I bought this!

If you are on the fence about this, just buy it! The Fishmans, stainless steel frets and it's playability is just insanely good .

Rated 5/5

Great guitar.

This is a fantastic guitar. The fluence pickups are amazing as always. The guitar plays and feels fantastic. It is a metal machine but also does pretty much everything else really well. I put a neck cover in mine - highly recommend this guitar.
Rated 5/5

Easily the best EC-1000 out there

Over the years I have owned about 5 of these guitars and sold them all, Never really regretted it either. Bought this one for the Fluence pickups and my history of the craftmanship. I wasnt disappointed. The Fluence are by far the best metal pickups I have ever played. I would never go back to EMG although the Bonebreakers are pretty close. They (Fluence) clean up ok but I can get a better chimey shimmery sound off a SD Jazz in the neck. Anyway. best craftsmanship you can buy at this price. Made in Korea not China so I feel like the attention to detail is better.

The neck and frets are fast and smooth. The stainless steel feels really stout and sit up nicely off the wood. You can rip on it. Honestly though even fretting some cowboy chords is easy too.

Fantastic Guitar

Wasn't sure if I wanted one of these because I wanted EMG pick ups. I'm really glad I pulled the trigger on this one. This guitar is fantastic the fishman pick ups are absolutely amazing! And as always the Eclips body design and neck are perfect! I played other Brands of guitars with the Fishman's. But the LTD wins hands-down best guitar! Not worth trying to save money on the other brands !
