Single-cut Rocker with Active EMG 81/60 Pickups
With the ESP LTD EC-1000FR plugged into your amp or modeler, you're primed for pure rock ’n’ roll revelry. A mahogany foundation paired with a set-through 3-piece mahogany neck supplies the thick tone and singing sustain you require for your leads, licks, and solos to shine. Under the hood, EMG 81/60 active pickups unleash a high-output humbucking blast that remains clear, clean, and defined no matter how high you heap on the gain. And thanks to a Floyd Rose 1000SE vibrato, you also have a vast well of expressive potential on tap. Factor in a midnight black set of hardware and a glassy ebony fingerboard loaded with 24 hard-wearing extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, and you're all set for the stage. Add the LTD EC-1000FR to your arsenal and discover why the world’s most aggressive metal and hard-rock guitarists choose ESP.
