    NOTE: Due to ongoing challenges in the global supply chain, instruments purchased from ShopESP that are not currently in stock may take an extended time frame to be delivered.

    The LTD Black Metal Series are guitars that are comparable in build quality to our LTD Deluxe “1000 Series” instruments, but with a dark and menacing design theme of all-black finish, components, and hardware, a single premium-quality pickup, Macassar ebony fingerboards with no inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, and even a newly-designed black metal LTD logo on the headstock. The EC-Black Metal is based on the popular single-cutaway ESP Eclipse shape. It offers set-thru construction for smooth access to the highest frets at 24.75” scale. Its Seymour Duncan “Blackened” Black Winter pickup is mounted directly to the guitar’s body, and it includes LTD locking tuners.

        Currently leaning heavily on getting this one after I get some stuff sold first. It has everything I want in a guitar. Pickup might not be what I'm after but that's personal preference and can be changed easily. If there was a Viper with these specs it might be a hard choice but now it's looking like this will be my next guitar.

              Is this version of the ec blackmetal (hardtail) also going to come with stainless steel frets?

                  Is the potentiometer in this model 500k or 250k? I'm installing a BW without the coil tap option and want to get a similar tone from my back up guitar.
