Hard-hitting Seymour Duncan Custom 14 humbucker

Arguably the benchmark for 6-string simplicity, the ESP LTD brandishes a single humbucking pickup and a lone volume knob. This potent, no-nonsense formula excels in all things rock, metal, and shred. The ESP-exclusive Seymour Duncan Custom 14 is primed for high-output humbucking mayhem, accommodating even the heaviest gain setups with cutting clarity and superb definition. Moreover, the LTD EC-01’s volume control allows you to conjure softer single-coil sounds via its convenient push-pull operation.

Sustain-enhancing neck-through design

From the stage-ready LTD line to Custom Shop masterpieces, ESP guitars are renowned for their prodigious sustain. What sets them apart from the 6-string pack? Instead of a typical set neck joint, guitars such as the ESP LTD EC-01 sport a neck-through construction. This joint-less method where the guitar’s neck and the center of the body are comprised of a single piece of timber, thus resulting in superior sustain and string-to-body resonance. It’s also an extremely stable method that’s further bolstered by the ESP LTD EC-01 neck’s 3-piece mahogany design. Add a contoured neck heel, string-through bridge, and lightweight mahogany wings, and the ESP LTD EC-01 is ready to dish out nearly never-ending lead lines and screaming solos.

Fast-playing thin “U” neck profile

The ESP LTD EC-01’s 3-piece mahogany neck is primed for fleet-fingered fretboard finesse, equipped with a thin “U” profile that’s sure to please the performance-minded players in the audience. Topside, you get a gorgeous Macassar ebony fingerboard in a 350mm radius that delivers comfortable chording and riffage down low with a smooth, fret-out-free feel up high. Finally, the LTD EC-01’s premium neck is finished off with 22 XJ stainless steel frets that are all but impervious to the typical wear-and-tear experienced by nickel-silver frets.
