    Guitars in the LTD 1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks and quality that working professional musicians require in an instrument, and the LTD EC-1000 has consistently ranked among the world’s most popular guitar models for the past 20+ years by delivering the high quality single-cutaway guitar shape designed for serious musicians at a price that everyone can afford. This outstanding EC-1000 offers a burled poplar top on a mahogany body with a three-piece mahogany neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard. It includes a set of high-output Seymour Duncan Sentient (neck) and Pegasus (bridge) passive pickups, splittable by a push-pull control, for mind-blowing tones for metal, rock, fusion, progressive, and other genres. It includes flag inlays, full body/neck/headstock binding, and premier components like LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece. Available in Black Natural Burst and Blue Natural Fade finishes.

        Is the neck glossy or satin finished?

          Hi, all our necks on set/thru neck builds will match the finish unless otherwise noted. So this one is currently gloss.

          If you have any more questions, please contact ESP Customer Service at customerservice@espguitars.com

              This guitar is exactly what I was hoping for.  I've had and still have several ltd's and they've never disappointed.

                Does this have a maple top? The photo looks like one, but the description doesn't mention it.

                  Hi, it is a burled poplar top. Very similar looking. It is in the description but somehow is missing in the spec below. We'll work on updating that. Thanks for your question.
