The ESP LTD Phoenix-1000 will grab everyone's attention via the smooth, flowing curves of its body and the upscale look of its quilted maple top in a transparent See Thru Black Sunburst finish that highlights the figured grain of the wood. Built with neck-thru-body construction, this guitar includes a three-piece mahogany neck and mahogany body wings, white binding on the body, neck, and headstock, and a reversed headstock with matching finish.

The Phoenix-1000 offers a Macassar ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets and ESP flag inlays. Components on this guitar include LTD locking tuners, a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, and a custom spec'd set of Seymour Duncan pickups with nickel covers. A Phat Cat in the neck position allows for P-90 single-coil growl and bite in a humbucker format, while a ceramic Custom in the neck position provides overwound P.A.F.-like tones, splittable to single-coil with a push-pull control.

Since receiving this guitar, I struggled a little to find it's niche. Drop C was allllllmost there, but it has found a home in Drop B tuning. I used NYXL 12-60 extra heavies on it, and it holds up great. An absolutely monsterous metal guitar. Sound is huge. Coil split is actually functional. The Duncan Custom is one of my favorite humbuckers, and it SINGS in this big body guitar. The Phat Cat in the neck is surprisingly articulate, but warm. GREAT for solos. The pickup combination is exquisite, and I will probably do the same setup in my SE CU24. Pulled a half star on value because it feels a little bit overpriced, but I am still considering adding another to my stable. Maybe a white one....
