ESP LTD EC-1000 Baritone Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin

The extended 27-inch baritone scale delivers crystalline clarity and articulation even in drop-tuned territories, while the sleek charcoal metallic satin finish feels like pure silk under your fingers as you navigate complex passages. The mahogany body with set-in mahogany neck produces warm, woody resonance with modern punch suitable for heavy riffing, dark alternative textures, or experimental soundscapes. Fast, responsive playability encourages exploration from lightning-fast lead work to thick, singing sustain.

Playability & Construction

The thin U neck contour paired with a 350mm fingerboard radius creates a comfortable, modern playing feel that accommodates both aggressive lead technique and smooth bending. 24 stainless steel extra jumbo frets with glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots ensure durability and visibility during extended sessions, while the 42mm nut width provides proper string spacing across the wider baritone neck.

Tone & Electronics

Dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—alnico in the neck position and ceramic in the bridge—deliver versatile, articulate tones with switchable voices via push-pull tone controls, giving you access to multiple sonic characters without leaving the instrument. LTD locking machine heads and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge with string-through design ensure rock-solid tuning stability across extended sessions, while 2 volume controls, 1 tone control with push/pull function, and a 3-way toggle switch provide responsive dynamic and tonal shaping.

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.
