Sound Pure's Take
The LTD Deluxe EC-1000FR combines the familiar feel of a single-cut design with the speed and performance demanded by modern players. Its set-thru mahogany construction delivers exceptional sustain and resonance, while the Thin U mahogany neck, Macassar ebony fingerboard, and stainless steel frets provide a fast, effortless playing experience. The legendary EMG 81 and EMG 60 active pickup pairing produces tight, articulate cleans and crushing high-gain tones, while the Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo offers expressive performance with outstanding tuning stability. Finished in sleek Black Satin, the EC-1000FR is a refined, stage-ready guitar built to inspire confidence in any musical setting.
From ESP Guitars
Guitars in the LTD Deluxe EC-1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks, and quality that working professional musicians require in an instrument, while remaining affordable enough for serious players. The EC-1000FR adds a Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge with stainless steel screws to the popular EC-1000 model, along with a menacing-looking Black Satin finish.
