ESP LTD 1000 Series EC-1000T CTM Electric Guitar, Vintage Gold Satin

The EC-1000T/CTM Vintage Gold Satin captures the soul of a battle-tested vintage axe whilst packing cutting-edge components that modern players demand. This LTD 1000 Series guitar features a full-thickness single-cutaway mahogany body (the "T" denotes traditional construction with no waist cut) and custom multi-ply binding adorning the front, back, body, neck and headstock - that’s what the "CTM" stands for.

The finish has been specially formulated to replicate the natural yellowing of a decades-old instrument, giving it that authentic hard-rocking 1970s aesthetic. Gold hardware complements this vintage vibe perfectly, including TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece plus LTD locking tuners. The three-piece mahogany neck sports a Macassar ebony fingerboard with white pearloid ESP flag inlays and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets.

Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Humbuckers handle the sonic duties, with each pickup offering three distinct voicings via push-pull controls. The neck pickup provides vintage PAF tone in Voice 1, airy chime in Voice 2, and vintage single-coil in Voice 3. Meanwhile, the bridge pickup serves up PAF tones, classic hot-rodded humbucker sounds, and overwound single-coil character across its three voice options.
