Single-cut body style blends classic looks with modern performance





Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's LTD Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the EC-1000 truly epic sustain, whereas its slightly arched top provides comfortable hand positioning no matter what your playing style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway for easy access to all 24 frets, and with the EC-1000 from Sweetwater, you're equipped for all manner of high-gain rock, metal, and shred tones.





Seymour Duncan humbuckers supply a dizzying array of tonal textures





This EC-1000 is jam-packed 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 and satisfying tone to match. Its Sentient neck pickup completes the picture, adding 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. Beyond that, a push-pull pot extends your sonic range with single-coil tones.
