A Classic Looking Eclipse, With Modern Firepower! - LTD EC-1000T In Vintage Gold Satin!

Dagan checks out the awesome ESP LTD Eclipse EC-1000T CTM in its gorgeous Vintage Gold Satin finish! Mixing traditional aesthetics and appeal, with the kind of voicing options a modern player would love the ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM ticks every box a guitar player needs!

Guitars in the LTD 1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks, and quality that working professional musicians need in an instrument. With the EC-1000T/CTM Vintage Gold Satin, you get the overall vibe of an outstanding vintage instrument that’s been rocking hard for years and years, but with the most contemporary components and smooth playability imaginable.

The “T” is for traditional, referring to its full-thickness single-cutaway mahogany body shape (no waist cut). The “CTM” stands for its custom multi-ply binding, situated on both the front and back or the body as well as neck and headstock.

The finish color of this guitar has been carefully formulated to match the natural yellowing of a decades-old guitar, and looks like it came straight out of the hard rocking 1970s combined with its gold hardware, including a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and LTD locking tuners. Its three-piece mahogany neck offers a Macassar ebony fingerboard with white pearloid ESP flag inlays and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets.

The EC-1000T/CTM’s tone is generated with a set of direct-mount Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Humbucker pickups. Each pickup offers three voicings, selectable with push-pull controls. On the neck pickup, Voice 1 offers the coveted vintage PAF tone, Voice 2 is an airy chime, and Voice 3 is a vintage single-coil. For the bridge pickup, Voice 1 is the PAF, Voice 2 is the classic hot-rodded humbucker, and Voice 3 is an overwound single coil.

I never get tired of this guys reviews. Monster playing and entertaining. I wish ESP would release an ESP custom version of this. (Not an EII.) They always release these with the thinner body and tummy cut.

Dagan is that _cool uncle_ that nobody had.

Stainless steel frets are arguably the best part on any guitar when it comes to longevity as there's nothing worse than having a guitar you really connect with but the frets start to destruct especially at an early stage of use. This is an AWESOME guitar all around!

[Rocktalk]

I am a big fan of ESP guitars I currently own 3 and hope to ad a few more to the collection down the road.

[PantheonLincoln]

He never used ESP, but the cream finish and open humbuckers on a singlecut guitar speaks to the Steve Jones fan in me.

[colboysigmax]

Excellent, it's no wonder that this is guitar of choice of so many of the current crop of Nordic rock/sleaze bands! Love your sound by the way.

[marcin-bensz]

I had it for about 1 day and then I returned it. The one I received was not so well manufactured as other LTDs I own. The binding was about 0, 7 mm thinner where it joins with body or neck. Although it's not a problem when it comes to body part, but on the neck side - it was so annoying when I played. 😞I just felt this flaw when my hand moved on the fretboard. But still, this axe looks amazing and sounds like it should sound. 🙂

Any of the 1000 series by LTD is excellent value for your money. My first LTD was the '87 Eclipse NT in pearl white. Then I went with the TE1000 Black Blast. They're complete opposites in every spec, save for dual humbuckers and body outline. The feature that stands out for me is the coilsplit tones they have. Anyone who says that a coilsplit humbucker can't sound like a singlecoil, should really give these guitars a try. The '59 and Sentient SD pickups in the neck positions, are stellar all around performers that can get you a vast array of very useful tones.

Sick a$$ fiddle. The playing didn't hurt either. I can tell you had fun with that one.
I love Eclipses.

[ethagr]

Thanks for playing that Hearts Burst into Fire riff. i can really get a sense on how these sound versus the original recording. I know the tone of that song like the back of my hand so it really puts these into perspective. Thanks as always.

[NinecoreNeil]

Keep looking at these full thickness body CTM
They look great

[videogamephenomhd]

With a color like vintage gold and a pair of Fishman pickups, you know that it was a "gold rush" for building such a thing.

Dagan does the best Guitar impressions

[benlogan]

Ltd’s are sweet guitars! I’ve had ec-1000’s, ec-401 and a 100 and all were nice. The full thickness ones were pretty heavy. But, that’s my only nit. I play blues on the 1000 with EMG pups.

[JROD]

Nice guitar and rig, but the massive tones are coming from Dagan's hands! Sure wish I had them.

[bariwrubel]

Just wish they offered this in Snow White!!!

[vinaymulukutla]

Firepower. Funny you mention that word seeing that Richie Faulkner of Judas Priest recorded the album with his white Les Paul mainly that looked similar to that white devil of a guitar. He never used Fishmans though, just the almighty EMGs.
I am getting some epic Richie and Randy (Rhoads) vibes from that guitar but it is amazing with those dynamics of voicing available through the Fishmans.

[foodpimpz]

i'm a sucker for a LP style guitar

[simonpedersen]

Love you just fire a Rammstein riff✌️🔥🤘
