The ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM EverTune is a classic single-cutaway with all the trimmings. This electric guitar boasts a traditional full-thickness, maple-topped mahogany body with set-through construction for maximum resonance and sustain. Its 3-piece mahogany neck is capped by a fast-playing, modern-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard. Discerning tone chasers will appreciate this axe's active Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker pickups, which conjure up everything from crystal cleans to overdriven crunch and even molten-hot high gain with equal aplomb. And you'll stay in tune longer and with better intonation, thanks to this guitar's EverTune bridge. Custom multi-ply binding and eye-grabbing gold/black hardware round out the LTD EC-1000T CTM EverTune's enviable features.





Single-cut body style blends classic looks with modern performance





Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's LTD Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the LTD EC-1000T CTM EverTune truly epic sustain, whereas its slightly arched top provides comfortable hand positioning no matter what your playing style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway for easy access to all 22 frets, and you're equipped for all manner of rock, metal, and shred tones.

Armed with Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker pickups, the ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM EverTune yields you three distinct voices capable of practically any humbucker tones imaginable, with a single-coil option for even greater versatility. Voice one is reminiscent of a tried-and-true PAF pickup, complete with the requisite sweetness, warmth, and clear articulation found in many vintage pickups. Kick on the second voice and you’ll be treated to the muscle and girth of a screaming hot-rodded humbucker. The third and newest voicing option offered is that of an overwound single-coil, which boasts an impressively authentic single-coil sound. Best of all, Fishman Fluence humbuckers are noiseless! Their active electronics lets you run hundreds of feet of cable with zero tone loss, with incredibly smooth volume controls. Guitarists at Sweetwater are blown away by the range of sounds that can be milked out of the LTD EC-1000T CTM EverTune, and we're confident that you will be, too.





EverTune bridge ensures rock-solid intonation





The EverTune bridge on the LTD EC-1000T CTM EverTune is a mechanical system that helps you stay in tune under any playing situation. Long-lasting tuning stability and accurate intonation are supplied by small springs that keep consistent tension on your strings. And the tension is adjustable, offering static tuning under any playing conditions or standard performance for string bending and vibrato. Even if you're playing a long gig or recording session, your tuning will be more stable regardless of your playing style, temperature, or other variables.
