Review: An awesome guitar - I started out with the ESP LTD ec 256 and loved that one . . . .I felt so good about the 256 . . I decided to purchase the 1000 . . .I got mine in cherry and love the look and feel of the guitar . . .Abalone fret inlays and outline of the guitar make it a step better than the 256 . . .Now . . the action on my ec 256 was awesome . . .but the ec 1000 is even closer to the fret board than the 256 . . . both guitars are great for the price and I would also suggest to invest in the ESP LTD B-205SM bass guitar . . .the 5 string was really nice and if you're in the market for a low cost bass . . .this is the one to get . . .Because I bought the B-205SM . ..I went ahead and purchased the ec 256 . . .I was amazed at the quality of the 256 and now the ec 1000 will absolutely blow you away. . . .I owned a PRS and felt the ESP was a better purchase . . I'm not saying PRS is inferior . . .but I'm loving the close action on my 1000's fret board . . . EMG pickups!!! Man what a surprise! . . .I must have missed the fact that the 1000 is equipped with EMG pickups . . . .I play through a Spider Line 6 and found the clean setting sounds tight . . .My distortion is a problem . . .

The boxy sound is gone . . .so . . .this guitar is, now, awesome . . .and you'll love it . . . . Review: A great instrument worth every dollar. - I love the guitar. It sounds great. The tuning was almost perfect. Intonation was perfect. It feels good playing it. The neck body weight balance is nice. Only this is, and I’m probably being picky, the paint could have been a little better. The rails on the neck and not exactly painted evenly and you can see faint brush marks on the body. Other than that it’s phenomenal ## Features - Solidbody Electric Guitar with Mahogany Body - 2 Humbucking Pickups - Vintage Black - Ebony Fingerboard - Mahogany Neck ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0030DOALE | | Back Material Type | Mahogany Wood | | Best Sellers Rank | #59,049 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #401 in Solid Body Electric Guitars | | Body Material | Mahogany | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand | ESP GUITARS | | Brand Name | ESP GUITARS | | Color | Vintage Black | | Connector Type | 1/4" (6.35mm) audio jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 120 Reviews | | Fretboard Material Type | Rosewood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00840248014861 | | Guitar Bridge System | Tonepros Locking Bridge | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | H | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Instrument | Guitar | | Instrument Size | EC-1000 | | Item Dimensions | 42 x 4 x 18 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 42"L x 18"W x 4"H | | Item Type Name | LTD Deluxe EC-1000VB Electric Guitar, Vintage Black | | Item Weight | 11.5 Pounds | | Manufacturer | ESP Guitars | | Manufacturer Part Number | 205802 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | LEC1000VB | | Model Number | LEC1000VB | | Neck Material Type | Mahogany | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Scale Length | 24.75" Scale | | Sound Profile | Heavy, Distorted, Aggressive | | String Material Type | Nickel Steel | | Top Material Type | Maple Wood | | UPC | 888365896359 840248014861 709951912607 840248017312 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited lifetime warranty. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Mahogany Wood - **Body Material:** Mahogany - **Brand:** ESP GUITARS - **Color:** Vintage Black - **Fretboard Material Type:** Rosewood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** H - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** Mahogany - **String Material Type:** Nickel Steel - **Top Material Type:** Maple Wood ## Images ![ESP LTD EC-1000 EMG - Vintage Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/617zQ1D6qEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is it a left or right hand?** A: It is a right hand guitar.Sincerely,Nide **Q: I want to know the weight and dimensions where the box will be sent with this model: ESP LTD EC Series EC-1000 Electric Guitar - Vintage Black** A: The box size is 48x19x5 and it weighs about 15 lbs **Q: Weight of this item please?** A: Does this have Duncan humbuckers and a tummy cut ?

It sounds great. The tuning was almost perfect. Intonation was perfect. It feels good playing it. The neck body weight balance is nice. Only this is, and I’m probably being picky, the paint could have been a little better. The rails on the neck and not exactly painted evenly and you can see faint brush marks on the body. Other than that it’s phenomenal ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great guitar *by B***T on December 31, 2019* So first off this is a great playing guitar. The fit and finish is excellent this thing looks amazing. Love the satin finish as it’s super fast on the back of the neck and resists smudges on the body. Has a perfect weight to it and is nicely balanced. Locking tuners work well and the guitar stays in tune. Emgs are emgs you either love them or hate them i happen to love em. The only issue I have with It and my reason for 4 starts instead of 5 are the frets. They’re not sharp and jagged but they could have used some more attention I had to polish them there is glue seepage from glueing them in on quite a few of the frets. For a 900 dollar guitar thought the frets could have been better. Overall awesome guitar though I am happy with my purchase. After playing for a few weeks despite the fret flaws I described above I’m changing from 4 to 5 stars because this is the best sounding guitar I’ve played. I’ve played for a long time and have some very nice guitars. They just don’t sound as good as this one..... ## Frequently Bought Together - ESP LTD Deluxe EC-1000VB Electric Guitar, Vintage Black - Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 12-56 Gauge (P02626) - Ernie Ball Polypro Guitar Strap, White (P04036) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1622429-esp-ltd-ec-1000-emg-vintage-black](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1622429-esp-ltd-ec-1000-emg-vintage-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
