ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000 VB Vintage Black Lefty Guitar B-Stock

ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000 VB Vintage Black Lefty Guitar

This EC-1000 VB delivers the buttery smooth playability that defines the EC platform, with a neck and fretboard engineered for fluid lead work and complex voicings. The Vintage Black finish pairs with premium active electronics that produce articulate, punchy tones with remarkable clarity and sustain across heavy riffs, blues bends, and intricate passages. Built as a dedicated left-handed instrument, it offers perfect balance and ergonomic comfort for extended playing sessions.

Playability & Feel

The mahogany neck features a thin U contour and ebony fingerboard with 24 XJ frets across a 24.75" scale, creating a fast, comfortable playing surface. The set-neck construction and 13.78" (350mm) radius support both aggressive bends and open chord shapes, while the 42mm nut width accommodates fingerstyle and pick work without hand strain.

Tone & Electronics

Active EMG pickups—EMG 81 at the bridge and EMG 60 at the neck—deliver high-output clarity with fast transient response and controlled sustain. The Tonepros Locking TOM Bridge & Tailpiece paired with LTD Locking Tuners ensures rock-solid intonation and tuning stability, while gold hardware complements the premium build quality.

As a B-Stock instrument it carries a minor factory cosmetic blemish — a small finish mark with no effect on playability, tone or structure — which is why it sells for less than a first-quality unit. The exact blemish varies from unit to unit, so it is not described or pictured here; photos show the model, not the individual unit. It is new, unplayed and covered by the full manufacturer warranty.
