The LTD H3-1000 FR FM from ESP is truly that all-around axe you've been looking for. Its design, features, and playability make it ideal for hard-hitting styles as well as more finessed musical expressions. The LTD H-1000 FR FM features a mahogany body with a flamed maple top ? lightweight, resonant, and with a see-thru finish that lets the gorgeous body art come through. A maple neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard offers stellar playability and response as well. A pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers lets you tap into an array of classic humbucking tone when you plug in, and with a Floyd Rose 1000 SE bridge and LTD locking tuners, you get plenty of sustain and tuning support.





Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver an array of tonal textures





The LTD H-1000 FR FM is loaded with wide-ranging tone thanks to its dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Its Pegasus bridge pickup is loaded with custom-wound coils and an Alnico V magnet, offering incredible string separation for articulated tone. Meanwhile, the Sentient neck pickup adds harmonic complexity on top of traditional PAF-like voicing. Together, this Pegasus/Sentient duo will help you achieve a whole new level of technical performance. And with a volume, push/pull tone, and 3-way pickup selector, you have even more tone-shaping options at your fingers for endless exploration and sonic adventure. This humbucker pairing is a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater.
