Established in Tokyo, Japan in 1975, ESP (Electric Sound Products) initially manufactured high-quality replacement parts for guitars already on the market. These replacements became extremely popular with rock guitarists, as many users noticed that the new parts, when added to their existing guitars, afforded their instruments extra power and aggression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoticing their new-found popularity, ESP capitalised and decided to use their expertise to begin crafting guitars of their own. Early models were used in the music of KISS and The Rolling Stones. As years passed, ESP's guitars became increasingly popular within metal and hard rock genres. Metallica, Megadeath, Slayer, Judas Priest, and Guns N' Roses have all used the immense sound of ESPs in their music. Quality, hard rock sound favoured by the very best in the business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBody\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel Name:\u003c\/b\u003e ESP LTD EC-1000 Seymour Duncan, Vintage Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNeck\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Material:\u003c\/b\u003e 3-Piece Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Shape:\u003c\/b\u003e Thin \"U\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/b\u003e Set-Thru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScale Length: \u003c\/b\u003e24.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Radius:\u003c\/b\u003e 350 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFingerboard: \u003c\/b\u003eMacassar Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNumber of Frets: \u003c\/b\u003e24\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFret Size:\u003c\/b\u003e XJ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut:\u003c\/b\u003e Molded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNut Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 42 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware \u0026amp; Electronics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/b\u003e Seymour Duncan JB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/b\u003e Seymour Duncan '59\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eControls:\u003c\/b\u003e Volume 1, Volume 2, Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePickup Switching: \u003c\/b\u003eToggle Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eElectronics:\u003c\/b\u003e Passive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBridge:\u003c\/b\u003e Tonepros Locking TOM and Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTuning Machines: \u003c\/b\u003eLTD Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHardware Finish:\u003c\/b\u003e Gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStrap Button:\u003c\/b\u003e Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e EC Guitar Form Fit Case (Not Included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bulleted-list\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bulleted-list\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ESP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56615556710780,"sku":"10002757","price":1099.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/6457\/9484\/files\/160301295666008f.jpg?v=1775820611","url":"https:\/\/www.fairdealmusic.co.uk\/products\/esp-ltd-ec-1000-vintage-black-seymour-duncan","provider":"Fair Deal Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
