EC-1000T: the “T” is for Traditional

A new variety is now available in our world-famous LTD Deluxe EC-1000 line. The new EC-1000T (BLK) and EC-1000T (FCSB) represent a more traditional look and feel to the classic single-cutaway body shape... it has a slightly thicker body, no waist cut, and a 22 extra-jumbo fret neck (as opposed to the 24 frets on most EC models).

The black-finished EC-1000T (BLK) uses a set-neck construction on a 24.75" scale. The guitar has a mahogany body, mahogany neck (with a thin-U contour), and rosewood fingerboard with abalone flag inlays. Abalone purfling is on the guitar’s headstock, neck, body. Its gold hardware includes ESP locking tuners and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece. Other high-performance components include a 42mm Earvana compensated nut and EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 60 (neck) active pickups.

The EC-1000T (FCSB) is the same body shape, with a sumptuous faded cherry sunburst finish. The new FCSB model also includes crème single binding (on headstock, body, and neck), and a flamed maple top over its mahogany body. Nickel hardware includes the covers on its Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro pickups, along with the guitar’s ESP locking tuners and a Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece.
