The ESP LTD EC-1000 Violet Andromeda is a beautiful single-cut electric guitar, dedicated to the classic sounds of blues, rock and metal. Based on the classic Eclipse design, the electric guitar has a Mahogany body with a three-dimensional shimmering Violet Andromeda finish that is guaranteed to attract attention. The Mahogany neck is glued in the classic way and with its flat "Thin U" profile it offers optimal playing conditions over the entire 24-flush Macassar Ebony fretboard. Two Fishman Fluence Classic humbuckers are used as pickups, each of which generates versatile sounds with three voicings. Voicing 1 is a traditional vintage humbucker and Voicing 2 is a hot-rolled hot-rodded pickup, while Voicing 3 provides authentic single-coil sounds. On the hardware side, the ESP LTD EC-1000 also convinces with bridge and stop bar in the locking version of TonePros as well as precise LTD clamping tuners.
ESP LTD EC-1000 Violet AndromedaOut of the box, the EC-1000 strikes with the quality of the finish. The fretwork, the body and neck binding, the factory setup (a very low action) are really impressive, considering the price. I had an EC-256 and the finish was correct but far from perfect. This EC-1000 comes from the Korean factories, you definitely notice the difference. The tuners feel sturdy and are very precise. The guitar stays in tune.
The sound is fantastic. The EMG pickups are of course very punchy, but the sustain is also very good. The satin finish gives the neck a very comfortable feeling as well. I've alternated my Gibson LP Tribute and the EC-1000, apart from the fact that the pickups are very different, from a lutherie quality perspective I would say that in terms of finish and feel, the Ltd EC-100 is as good, if not better than a Gibson Studio/Tribute.
This is a great guitar!
These SD pickups are so versatile, you can certainly play from jazz to metal, which was one of the main reasons why I bought this instrument and because it looks great and I fell in love with it.
Playability is great, great low action, thin but very fast and confortable neck, good fretwork, easy accessible high frets, stable tuning and great intonation.
Played it live a fair amount of times and had no problems. After some use the strap button came a little loose but just a bit of wood glue did the job and never had a problem again.
It is simply an excellent instrument. Highly recommend it.
My first LTD guitar and I am mightily impressed.
Amazing sound and tone, comfortable to play, quality hardware, fairly priced and beautifully finished.
I'm struggling to say anything negative about it. If you are considering this guitar I can highly recommend it.
I can also highly recommend dv247 who shipped the guitar to me in just a few days - even in these difficult times of lockdown
Really happy with this guitar. Finish, bindings etc are flawless. The binding colour is more orange than the yellow in the product pictures. I prefer the orange. It’s a really effortless guitar to play. Neck is quick, but feels substantial. Guitar is noticeably lighter than other Les Paul types that I’ve previously played.
