collapse expand iconDescription

The ESP LTD EC-1000 Baritone electric is the extended range guitar you’ve always wanted, delivering the single-cutaway Eclipse shape in a 27” baritone scale. Typically tuned a fourth below standard, from B to B, this is the six-string guitar that lets you explore the downtuned sounds of modern rock and metal while still maintaining ideal string tension. Its darkly minimalist design features black single-ply binding and a Macassar ebony fingerboard with no inlays and glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots. The EC-1000 Baritone features 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body and powerful tones from a set of direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups (alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge). The pickups also include a push-pull control to select voicings and classy black nickel covers.

    I've had this baritone for a year, and couldn't be happier. It excels in every regard. The tunning stability, action, playability, clarity, sustain, reliability for live shows are unmatched. The string thru bridge (not found on other EC-1000s or Les Paul baritones) truly takes the tone to another level. The fishman fluence pickups are a game changer on a baritone. It should be noted that voice two with the neck pickup sounds like a neck pickup on a telecaster. This adds an exceptional layer of versatility. To demonstrate the this baritone is not just chug machine. It's also a workhorse for playing live. It never goes out of tune and I honestly feel like I can throw it around and not have to worry about the headstock falling off. This was my third baritone. I have two Gibson Les Paul baritones and this one gives them a run for their money.

    I purchased this guitar and had nothing but issues with it. Paid two different Luther's To set it up for drop a# A Tuning that should be no problem whatsoever for this guitar and it did nothing but buzzz. Even tried different string gauges. Same outcome. I mean in that tuning the other five strings are actually tuned up half a step. The only string that's even dropped slightly Past B standard is the low E in that tuning. And even raising the Strings plus thicker gauge wouldn't stop it. It buzzed not stop even in B standard. Don't waste your time like I did It's 🗑️
