ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM (Violet Shadow)

Professional musicians demand an instrument that matches their ambition, and the EC-1000T/CTM stands as a testament to uncompromising craftsmanship. This stunning single-cutaway features a traditional full-thickness mahogany body paired with an eye-catching flamed maple top in Violet Shadow finish. The “CTM” designation highlights its sophisticated custom multi-ply binding that adorns both the front and back of the body, extending to the neck and headstock for a cohesive, premium aesthetic.

At the heart of this guitar’s sonic capabilities lie the direct-mount Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Humbucker pickups, each offering three distinct voicings via push-pull controls. The neck pickup provides vintage PAF warmth in Voice 1, airy chime in Voice 2, and vintage single-coil character in Voice 3. Meanwhile, the bridge pickup covers PAF territory in Voice 1, classic hot-rodded humbucker aggression in Voice 2, and overwound single coil punch in Voice 3.

Premium appointments complete this professional-grade instrument, including a Macassar ebony fingerboard adorned with white pearloid ESP flag inlays and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. LTD locking tuners maintain tuning stability, while the TonePro locking TOM bridge and tailpiece system ensures optimal string coupling and sustain. The matching flamed maple headstock adds the final touch to this exceptional guitar’s striking visual appeal.
