Hit Your Amp with Serious Tonal Aggression

With the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-1000FM solidbody electric guitar plugged into your amplifier, you're primed for pure rock fury. You get eternal sustain from the Eclipse's set-neck design, which keeps it resonating longer than bolt-on designs. And you've got powerful, articulate tone on demand with Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups - not to mention the classic tonewood combination of a mahogany body topped with flame maple. From chiming cleans to growling high-gain tones, this guitar covers a ton of tonal territory. Find out why some of the most aggressive guitarists choose ESP — get your LTD Eclipse EC-1000FM from Sweetwater today.

ESP's Eclipse body style blends classic looks with modern performance

Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's timeless Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the Eclipse EC-1000FM truly epic sustain, whereas its slightly arched top provides you with comfortable hand positioning no matter your picking style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you open access to the Eclipse EC-1000FM's upper frets, and you're totally ready to shred.

Get classic hard rock tones from this time-tested combo of Seymour Duncan pickups

ESP seriously loaded up the Eclipse EC-1000FM with a killer set of Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups. First there's the Eclipse EC-1000FM's neck pickup, a Seymour Duncan '59 model that gives you creamy PAF tone with slightly scooped mids and more than enough attitude for hard rock. It's the perfect laid-back complement to the Duncan JB model pickup at the Eclipse EC-1000FM's bridge, whose much hotter output lets you slam on the throttle for extra crunchy riffage.

Great Guitar

This is a great guitar. Sweetwater techs did a fantastc job with the inspection and packaging. I received the guitar a few days earlier than expected and let it rest for 24 hours. Opened it and inspected it myself for 30 minutes. Found nothing wrong with it and tuned it up. Only low e and d string were out of tune and just slightly flat. Played for 2 hours straight. Couldn't put it down.

Great Guitar

I ordered the ESP LTD ec-1000 Amber sunburst I really wanted this guitar for a few years now and I finally got on it and it's better than I imagined I didn't even realize till I looked at the 55 point inspection card it has a coil split on it and the tone knob if you pull up on it, it splits one in the humbuckers into a single-coil pickup and that's just amazing cuz they didn't even have that listed at the time I was buying this guitar I called Sweetwater and let them know when I am found out and let them know that they didn't have that listed and the sales person I talked to said they would try to get down on the list because it shows directly from the ESP company that it comes with a coil split on it let's just say I would highly recommend this guitar it by far exceeded my expectations and my expectations we're already a little bit high for being such a well-known brand and the humbuckers it had on it. This guitar is great for metal, rock, clean and blues sounds. If you are concerned about shipping and you would like it shipped in a case the sales people have an option when you call to have it shipped in the case and that is what I chose to do and also had them tune it for me it showed up just straight out of the case ready to play. I will definitely be ordering from Sweetwater again when it comes time.

A Do It All Monster

Forget the Epiphones, forget the Gibsons, forget the PRSs, this is hands down the best single cut solid body guitar on the market for the price, bar none. The fit and finish is impeccable and the hardware all seems to be high quality and capable. Compared to other singlecuts it seems a bit lighter and less of a strain on the shoulder without losing any of the tone that single cut all mahogany guitars are known for. The neck on this guitar is also very nice. I have small hands and like really fast thin necks. This guitar has the fastest neck of any single cut I've played, and in some ways feels faster than a lot of necks on similar hard rock/metal guitars that I've played.

Hands down the real draw to me for this guitar over other single cuts, including others in its line was the Seymour Duncan pickups. The JB/59 is probably the most versatile humbucker configuration on the market. It sounds good playing pop punk, it sounds good playing thrashy metally influenced melodic hardcore, it sounds good playing classic rock, it sounds good playing anything from the 1980s, and while I haven't tried yet I'm sure they would sound good playing modern ultra drop tuned stuff too. These pickups alone are reason to consider buying the guitar, on top of the high build quality and great playability.
Music background: Returning to gigging. Punk and metal guy.
