ESP LTD EC-1000S Fluence, Black - Box Opened

Full Description

Pair of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Pickups

The EC-1000S is loaded with a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers at the neck and bridge positions. Fishman Fluence pickups are free from hum and other unwanted background noises, providing a pure and clean tone. Fluence pickups are also multi-voiced, and allow you to easily switch between the two unique voices, which can be accessed via standard switches or push-pull controls. The Alnico neck pickup delivers the classic explosive alnico sound, with two voices for added versatility. With voice 1 producing a full, high output tone with excellent articulation, and voice 2 producing a crisp and clean neck tone. The Ceramic bridge pickup has great punch and an aggressive tone which works well paired with the Alnico Neck. Voice 1 has the classic active humbucker sound of a crisp, tight bass with great crunch, and voice 2 has excellent dynamics and a high output.

Efficient Hardware

The EC-1000S Fluence features an innovative TonePros Locking Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Tail piece system which eliminates a problem which some guitarists may have encountered. Which is the lack of stability when the strings are removed, which causes the bridge/tailpiece to fall off and minor, unwanted adjustments to the bridge height to be made. However the TonePros Locking Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Tailpiece make that a thing of the past; with high tension springs fitted into the attachments, the bridge now clips and locks into place without the use of tools and also increases sustain by up to 20 .

Mahogany Body

Mahogany as a body tonewood 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. The resonant tone makes it an ideal companion for punchy rock music. 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.

3-Piece Mahogany Neck Paired With Macassar Ebony Fingerboard

The EC-1000S Fluence's neck is made from 3-piece mahogany, which is sturdy, durable and is therefore more resistant to warping than the classic 1-piece. The neck is made from mahogany, and 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.
