The EC-1000FM is powered by a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups, which include a SH-2N Jazz at the neck and a SH-14 Custom 5 at the bridge. The Jazz Neck is a vintage-output humbucker that offers excellent versatility to accommodate many different playing styles. The Jazz's sound is full, with scooped mids and tight bass for a clean, vintage sound. The Custom 5 has incredibly high output for a loud, aggressive and versatile guitar sound. It produces a great, full tone with a balance of bass, treble and a scooped midrange.
Mahogany is a fairly dense tonewood which creates a warm and rich tone with excellent depth. It also offers durability and a tone which will mature over the years, for a long lasting investment. A flame maple top gives this guitar a stunning and unique 3-dimensional appearance, as well as extending the tonal range of the mahogany. In addition, the EC Series body shape also features a single cutaway, which allows easier access to the higher frets and more flexibility across the whole fingerboard.
The EC-1000's neck is made from 3-piece mahogany, which is sturdy, durable and more resistant to warping than the classic 1-piece. The mahogany neck offers a rich and resonant sound with plenty of warmth. It also has a punchy mid-range emphasis, and the macassar ebony fingerboard brings added sustain and snappy attack which complements the mahogany's deeper tone.
ESP guitars are quite possibly the most revered manufacturer of heavy metal electric guitars and basses.
