Product Description of:

ESP LTD Deluxe EC1000FR Electric Guitar

An awesome-looking guitar with a flamed maple top, the ESP LTD Deluxe EC1000FR Electric Guitar offers the popular, comfortable EC model with a Floyd Rose tremolo.

Features a 24.75 inch single cutaway body style made of strong mahogany, rosewood fingerboard, black nickel hardware, and ESP tuners. Guitar players love the EMG 81 and 60 pickups for their wide range of sound - from sweet warm tones to raw rock 'n' roll. The EC1000FR is an impressive guitar that you won't want to stop playing.

ESP EC Style Case
To protect and transport your guitar, ESP recommends the optional EC Style Electric Guitar Case (#ESP ECFF).

I Love It!

Quality:

This guitar is built very well. It is a Korean model, but I don't see that much of a drop off, if any at all. The LTD EC-1000 got an editor's pick in Guitar Player, if you are interested in this one you should check it out in the April issue. (it is the model w/out Floyd Rose)

Sound:

The EMG 60 in the neck is great. With tho tone knob set at zero, it sounds like the neck pickup in my Xaviere XV-510. With the tone set wide open, it sounds like the bridge pickup of the XV-510. Then tou switch it to the EMG 81, and it takes everything to a whole new level. Harmonics galore, it crushes! Needless to say, I've never played a guitar with this much b***s before, and I like it a lot.

Reliability:

I bought it a couple of days ago so I can't give an answer. I'm sure it will be fine with basic care. It's a piece of wood. don't throw it off a building and you'll be fine.

Overall:

This is my first real guitar. I have two Xavieres($200) so this is a huge leap forward. It is an awesome guitar.

Playability and Feel:

I have to use the analogy about going from an old hoopty to driving a Ferrari. This guitar is way better than anything I have owned. I know that most of the people reading this have played nice guitars before so this is nothing new, and there are a lot of really nice axes out there. But honestly, this is definitely a nice guitar, of course it's not the best guitar ever made, but it is very nice. Neck is lightning fast and very thin, controls are in a good position, everything is top notch. The Floyd Rose is not a licensed one, but is made in Korea. Hasn't gone out of tune yet and I don't think it will. Don't let the fact that it's not an OFR deter you, I promise you will like it.

Tone:

I gave a detailed description above. The EMG's are awesome, but I'm thinking about doing the 18v mod. It's a metal machine.

Finish:

Impeccable, flawless, 5 star. Very nice guitar. Like everyone has said before, its better than the pics, but it is true.

Action:

Very good. Very nice factory set up. Action is very low. I am brutal with my attack,so there"s a little buzz now and then. Nothing to worry about, this guitar is sweet.

Subject:

Lack of "SUSTAIN"

Quality:

The overall construction is great just need to have better sustain.

Sound:

Nice n' dirty but no sustain on mids n' hight. This is not a soloing lead axe.

Reliability:

Well I'm keping it for my collection!

Overall:

Don't judge the book by its nice cover...or should I say, for a better some better words "it sucks".

Playability and Feel:

I'm used to Les Paul type body guitars. Neck on this is better. Very light guitar.

Tone:

Has good tones. On clean is very nice. The trick is you have to have a good amp and tweak your effects to compensate for what it's lacking "SUSTAIN" (not emphasizing too much, but hey...I trust my ears)

Finish:

Really nice n detailed.

Action:

Pretty low ready to play.
