ESP LTD EC1000T CTM with Evertune Bridge in Black

Introducing the legendary EC1000T CMT model featuring the innovative Evertune bridge from ESP's LTD Lineup, this one in gloss Black with Gold Hardware.

Guitars in ESP's LTD 1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks, and quality that working professional musicians need in an instrument.

You can break down the EC-1000T CTM EverTune as follows:

• The “T” is for its traditional full-thickness classic single-cutaway mahogany body shape, with no waist cut.
• The “CTM” is for its custom multi-ply binding, situated on both the front and back of the body as well as neck and headstock.
• Its EverTune Bridge.

The EverTune Bridge is a revolutionary, patented, all-mechanical guitar bridge system that keeps guitars in tune under any conditions. Using nothing but clever physics in combination with a system of springs and levers, EverTune maintains constant tension on each individual string, keeping the guitar in perfect tuning indefinitely.

Once the bridge is set up to the desired tuning by the user, it will stay in tune -- regardless of extreme playing techniques, huge bends, heavy picking, or drastic temperature or humidity changes. EverTune accomplishes this while still allowing for subtle, expressive playing techniques such as vibrato and string bending with even greater stability than a standard fixed bridge.

In the studio, EverTune-equipped guitars make for amazingly dependable and accurate instruments, saving untold hours normally spent checking tuning between takes. Because EverTune works dynamically, in real time, to maintain constant string tension, it provides perfect intonation across the fretboard, so no more retuning to make specific chords sound in tune. Now overdubs across multiple octaves will all be in tune with one another.

The aesthetic design of this tough-looking guitar is detailed all the way down to the matching gold saddles of the EverTune, the black thumbwheels on its LTD locking tuners, and the black pickup rings.

The Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker pickups, with voicings you can select with push-pull controls, offer everything from vintage PAF tones, through airy chimes, through classic hot-rodded humbucker tones.

Other features of the EC-1000T/CTM EverTune include 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a Macassar ebony fingerboard with white pearloid ESP flag inlays.
