The ESP LTD EC-1000QM is designed to meet the rigorous demands of working musicians who require a professional instrument for touring and recording.
Combining a classic single-cutaway mahogany body with modern electronics and hardware, this guitar delivers consistent performance across a wide variety of genres. With its eye-catching quilted maple top and high-quality construction, it provides the look, feel, and tone expected from a high-end instrument.
Versatile Tone for Any Genre
While the EC-1000QM is often associated with heavy music, its electronic configuration allows for a surprising amount of sonic flexibility. The active pickup set is curated to handle everything from aggressive distortion to crystal-clear clean tones.
Active EMG Pickup Set: The bridge position features the legendary EMG 81, providing the razor-sharp attack and high output needed for lead playing and heavy rhythms. The neck position houses an EMG 60TW-R, which offers thicker, warmer tones suitable for chords and melodic passages.
Coil-Splitting Control: Versatility is further enhanced by the push-pull tone knob. This feature splits the neck pickup, allowing you to access single-coil sounds. The coils in the 60TW-R are reversed so that the single-coil mode utilizes the coil closest to the neck, delivering a genuine, snappy single-coil tone.
Built for Performance
Playability is a primary focus of the LTD 1000 Series. Every aspect of the neck and fingerboard has been engineered to ensure comfort during long sessions and smooth execution of technical playing styles.
Set-Thru Construction: The three-piece mahogany neck is set into the body with a deep joint, offering the smooth feel of a neck-through design. This construction method provides unhindered access to the highest frets and enhances the guitar's natural resonance and sustain.
Stainless Steel Frets: The Macassar ebony fingerboard is fitted with 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets. Unlike traditional nickel-silver frets, stainless steel is virtually impervious to wear, ensuring the frets remain level and polished for years while offering a glass-like surface for effortless string bending.
Rock-Solid Reliability
Professional gear needs to remain reliable under stage lights and during travel. The hardware on the EC-1000QM is selected to ensure that the instrument stays in tune and intonated properly, regardless of how hard you play.
LTD Locking Tuners: String changes are fast and simple thanks to the locking mechanism, which also prevents string slippage. This system keeps the guitar in tune longer, even during aggressive playing or heavy string bending.
TonePros Locking Bridge: The locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece secure firmly to the guitar body. This not only prevents the hardware from falling off during string changes but also creates a tighter coupling with the body, transferring more vibration for increased sustain.
A Professional Standard
The EMG LTD Deluxe EC-1000QM offers the specifications and build quality required for professional environments, ensuring you can focus on your playing rather than your gear. Whether you like to play heavy or keep it clean, this guitar is ready to handle anything you throw its way.
