Hard-hitting 6-string from ESP LTD

What do you get when you cram great tonewoods, uncompromising craftsmanship, and player-centric features into the same guitar? The answer is the ESP LTD M-1000. This solidbody beast's dual Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers deliver hard-hitting tones tailor-made for rock, metal, and practically any genre you can think of, with each pickup splittable for some single-coil spank. Guitarists around Sweetwater appreciate the 3-piece maple neck that boosts resonance and sustain. And for those that need to dive-bomb with the best of them, this guitar has a Floyd Rose tremolo that enables expressive performance. To sum it all up, the ESP LTD M-1000 is a bona fide rocker that's ready for high-gain heroics.

Lightweight body is built for performance

The LTD M-1000 was built to turn heads with its good looks, then wow the audience with its tone. It all begins with a 3-piece maple neck in a set-through-body configuration to significantly increased sustain. Two alder wings are attached to each side of the neck to boost resonance and provide a well-balanced tone. Once it's fully assembled, the body receives extra carving for player comfort. You'll appreciate the generous belly cut that makes onstage performance comfortable, and when you strap on your new M-1000 for the first time, you'll appreciate the deep cutaways that give you total access to the upper frets.

3-piece maple neck plays effortlessly

The LTD M-1000 is equipped with a 3-piece set-through maple neck. Carved into ESP's extra-thin "U" profile, this neck is just bulky enough to grab chords, but more than thin enough to stay out of your way during intense lead exploration. The back of the neck has a slick satin finish to help you reach new playing heights, and you'll love the glassy feel of the Macassar ebony fingerboard and extra-jumbo frets — the recipe for effortless playability from your very first lick.

Widen your sonic range with Fishman Fluence pickups

Loaded with a pair of active Fishman Fluence pickups — a Fluence Modern alnico in the neck position and a Fluence Modern ceramic at the bridge — the LTD M-1000 unlocks some serious tonal territory. Fluence humbuckers give you the higher output of modern pickups without any noise or inductance issues, letting you run hundreds of feet of cable without hurting your tone. And with a push-pull tone control to select an alternate voicing for each pickup, it will be a while before you discover everything the LTD M-1000 has to offer.

  • Player-centered features make this axe a must-have
  • Alder body creates a balanced tone
  • Set-through construction enhances sustain
  • Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups give you an endless variety of sonic textures
