This guitar boasts a striking V-shaped body, a lightning-fast neck-thru-body construction and a Floyd Rose tremolo system, making it ideal for unleashing a torrent of riffs and soaring leads. With its powerful EMG pickups and premium features, the Arrow-1000 is ready to take your playing to the next level. 

Mahogany Body and Neck-Thru Construction for a Resonant and Sustainful Tone

The Arrow-1000 features a mahogany body that delivers a warm, resonant tone with a rich midrange and a focused low end. The neck-thru-body construction enhances the guitar's sustain and resonance, allowing notes to ring out with clarity and definition. This combination of body wood and construction creates a solid foundation for the guitar's versatile sound, making it suitable for everything from aggressive metal to soaring leads.

EMG 85/81 Pickups for a Powerful and Articulate Sound

This metal guitar is equipped with a pair of EMG active humbuckers: an 85 in the neck position and an 81 in the bridge position. This classic combination delivers a powerful and articulate sound with exceptional clarity and definition. The EMG 85 provides a thick, warm tone with a smooth attack, while the EMG 81 offers a tight, aggressive sound with a focused midrange. These pickups are ideal for modern metal and hard rock styles, providing the power and clarity you need to cut through the mix.

Macassar Ebony Fingerboard and Thin U Neck Profile for Effortless Playability

The Arrow-1000 features a Macassar ebony fingerboard that's known for its smooth feel and fast response. This premium fingerboard material adds a touch of "snap" to the attack, enhancing the guitar's overall clarity and articulation. The thin U neck profile provides exceptional comfort and speed, allowing for effortless transitions across the fretboard. With its 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and a Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge, this guitar is built for shredding.

Premium Features and a Striking Finish

The ESP LTD Arrow-1000 is adorned with premium features that enhance its performance and aesthetics. The black hardware complements the guitar's sleek design, while the Grover tuners ensure smooth and precise tuning. The guitar's Candy Apple Red Satin finish is a striking visual statement that's sure to turn heads on stage. With its combination of exceptional tone, versatile electronics and comfortable playability, the Arrow-1000 is a true performer's instrument.

    I have never owned a more fun guitar to play. This guitar has everything. It looks amazing. It plays amazing. It sounds amazing. My only (minor) gripe is that there is a tad bit of fret buzz, but only if you play unplugged, which you'll never want to do with such a fantastic sounding guitar. Guitar comes loaded with the Daddario XL strings (tens I believe) and is set nicely in standard tuning. Beware that if you are wanting the hard shell case, the only one that fits perfectly is the ESP Alexi form fitting case from ESP, and it is not cheap.

    Hi,

I am looking for the ESP LTD Violet Andromeda guitar and I am having difficulties finding it in my country.

For this reason I am curious if it is possible to ship the guitar to Sweden? I saw in the FAQ that there is a international site but I did have difficulties accessing it which is why I write to ask.

Thank you so much in advance and I hope you have a very nice day!

Kind regards

Emma

    Unfortunately additional pictures are unavailable. Blemishes are slight and do not affect the tone or play ability of the instrument.

    What does open box mean?

    Open Reply - Ronald
    It means that it's a like-new instrument, just the box isn't sealed.
    Open Reply - Beau
    Open box means the item has been opened and tested, so it is new but may be lightly used.
