Product Description

The ESP LTD EC1000T CTM Traditional features the classic single-cutaway mahogany body with a traditional body shape, slighty thicker than a standard EC1000. With binding on the top and back of the body and gold hardware, the EC1000T CTM looks as good as it sounds. EMG Active 81/60 humbuckers produce that massive tone they're known for, giving huge rhythm crunch and searing lead tone to cut through the mix. The set mahogany neck allows for great sustain and features a thin U neck contour for a very comfortable and fast feel. zZounds is an authorized dealer of ESP products.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (5 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great guitar"
Overall: First off, I purchased at Christmas time out of coincidence more than anything, but took advantage of holiday pricing. I found the EC000T-CTM cheaper at Guitar Center so I sent the web information to Zzounds and within one hour I had a response that they would not only match but they beat the Guitar Center price, with free shipping. That's a great way to make a new customer happy. Now about the guitar; it is beautiful and plays well. But it is not perfect. A few of the notable flaws on mine are the plastic housing around the neck pickup (appears damaged or flawed, likely before assembly), the fingerboard (it is more of a dark rosewood than true ebony) and the low E string (a lot of fret buzz, but correctable). Otherwise, it looks and sounds fantastic. It definitely cured my itch for a much more expensive Gibson Les Paul...for now. The EMGs are outstanding, with great sustain and harmonics. I play through a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 and found that on the highest gain settings these pups really scream, but roll of the gain to about 4 and you get a real thick, Gibson-like crunch. The cleans are wonderful, not as crisp as my single coil Strat but very close. Overall I am very pleased and excited to add this guitar to my collection, and the service from Zzounds has been great so far.
Style of Music: All forms of rocks, metal, blues.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "What is a Gibson? LTD *ESP* made a KILLER guitar!!"
Sound: Think Gibson Les Paul but with a metal twist! This guitar is great! I tried it 3 times before I bought it once just with no amp, another time with a peavey 6505 and matching cab then again with my rig! and WOW all 3 times was amazing I owned a LTD ec-1000 and it was my top guitar. This guitar goes up with my Gibson Les Paul studio I love this guitar if you are looking for a gibson feel and a metal tone this will be a great match for you! Feature: The Emgs are killer I'm not a fan of the gold, I already have my les paul white and gold so Im gonna change the gold to black. the locking tuners are a nice touch. Ease of Use: Neck is very smooth the guitar is heavy and thick! witch I love!! Quality: a 10! LTD (ESP) put a lot into their gear I have seen so many gibson badly made, this guitar was great right out of the box not marks/dents/chips/flaws nothing! Value: Cost was just right for this machine! Manufacturer Support: Didn't have to deal with them I sent a email about my order they replied back fast! if you are ordering your gear from Zzounds.com you will be back for more after 4 months if you use the 4 month payment plan! The Wow Factor: You would get a lot of sex out of this guitar haha Overall: :) 100% happy
Style of Music: hardcore/metal

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
