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 locking 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 neck-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 neck-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.

ESP LTD M-1000 Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:

  • Player-centered features make this axe a must-have
  • Alder body creates a balanced tone
  • Neck-through construction enhances sustain
  • Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups give you an endless variety of sonic textures
  • Ebony fingerboard feels smooth under your fingers
  • Floyd Rose locking tremolo enables expressive performance
  • Coil-splitting unlocks single-coil tones
  • Satin-finished neck enables incredible speed

Why Buy Your Guitar from Sweetwater?

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!

Reviews

What a beauty and plays great too!
Just purchased one and what a fantastic guitar! I now own 3 ESP LTD models and they are all amazing guitars. This one has a comfortable neck profile. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups are outstanding. With the coil 'split voicing' it has a nice variety of tones. The mix of black and stainless steel hardware is a nice touch. Very impressed with this guitar!!

The guitar is pretty amazing. I really like Schecter guitars and to my surprise ESP is the parent company. Fits like a glove in my Schecter case! I would have given the guitar a five star rating right away, but I chose a particular one, and was sent something different. The serial number didn't even match. Just because the color was the same, doesn't mean I didn't do my homework before ordering..

First ESP guitar

I'm very happy with this guitar! The neck through construction makes upper fret access a dream. The satin neck finish is a nice feel. My guitar came setup nicely, I just changed to my preferred string gauge and was ready to roll.


I like the upgraded Floyd rose hardware and the pickups give a super satisfying metal tone. Having spent on guitars down to 300 in the past year, this really is the sweet spot in terms of value.

With a proper setup, this guitar plays like butter.
The frets are slick and easy to slide on, the tuning stability is incredible, and the feel is overall very nice.

love this guitar
Stainless steel frets,neck through construction with active pick-ups. This axe is a shredder. It came completely setup with perfect intonation. I even set it up myself for a half step down.the floyd rose even flutters!reverse headstock with grover tuners are a superb choice and with easy tuning capabilites.
