The ESP LTD EC-1000 See Thru Green is a chic singlecut electric guitar whose profession is undoubtedly hard rock and metal sounds. Based on the classic Eclipse design, the electric guitar has a mahogany body on which an intensively drawn curly maple top attracts attention. The mahogany neck is glued in a classic way and offers ebony with the flat "Thin U"-profile over the entire 24-flush Macassar fretboard. A Seymour Duncan SH-2n Jazz Humbucker on the neck and a Seymour Duncan SH-15 Custom-5 Humbucker on the bridge are used as pickups, which deliver a wide range of classical and modern rock sounds. On the hardware side, the ESP LTD EC-1000FM Fluence also convinces with bridge and stop bar in the locking version of TonePros and precise LTD clamping mechanisms.
This is my first and I dare say the last LP guitar because I've always worshipped ST curves. I was in two minds about buying EC-1000 or Kramer Baretta Vintage and,eventually, I decided to give EMG a try. The guitar came almost in perfect conditions (the strings were bit higher that I'm used to) but it was only one tiny flaw to complain about. The matt color is bitching sexy but it prone to loose its initial appearance compared to varnished bodies in the long run. The sound is very metal and note separation is very good too. As to neck EMG60 clean tone, it's not so bright and clean as my Jackson with S-S-H SD but it's a matter of adjustments. The sound of bridge pickup provided a huge meaty metal roar and it make me put up with the LP shape). And the last but not least, the sustain is almost endless. If you still do not have LP guitar and are thinking of getting one, grab this one and you won't regret!
Приобрёл данную гитару для игры в разных стилях, в целом, с этой задачей она справляется. Удобная, крепкая вещь. Главным плюсом этой гитары , по моему мнению, является ее внешний вид, каждый, кто видит ее, даже среди бывалых музыкантов, отмечают то, насколько она красива. У гитары удобные колки, замена струн стала быстрым процессом.
Из минусов могу отметить немного расшатанные регуляторы громкости и тембра.
