General

The LTD EC-1000 SSP is a highly striking, beautifully finished electric guitar with a full, warm sound. You might even take the starring role on stage just thanks to its Silver Sparkle finish and chrome hardware. This guitar has a classic single-cut shape and is equipped with EMG humbucker pickups. You can really shine with the beautiful LTD EC-1000 Silver Sparkle.

LTD EC-1000 SSP Silver Sparkle: right at home

The LTD EC-1000 SSP Silver Sparkle has a versatile, powerful sound. Its mahogany body provides for a warm, clear basis while the ebony fretboard throws in some tight, fierce tones. The active EMG pickups have a built-in preamp that helps them to generate a high output that makes them ideal for some proper shredding. The EMG-81 bridge pickup produces a surprisingly transparent, tight sound and the EMG 60 humbucker is perfect for (hard) rock and blues thanks to its big, rich tones.

In tune

This rock guitar features a thin, set-in neck with 24 extra-large frets that help you to bend and to grasp each position quickly and easily. Thanks to the Locking Tuners, this guitar retains its tuning excellently. The bridge on this guitar is stabilised by the renowned Tonepros Locking system. This is a genuinely pretty, and utterly reliable guitar with a rich sound.

ESP's LTD guitars

LTD is a subdivision of the renowned ESP brand. Many hard rock and heavy metal guitar players, ranging from amateurs to professionals to rock legends, own an ESP guitar. ESP offer several series, including a large number of signature models made in collaboration with famous artists. LTD guitars are perfect if a professional instrument is just out of your reach. They offer durable quality, a beautiful shape, a tasteful finish and excellent sound at a reasonable price.

Très bonne guitare. La touche ébène est très agréable, les EMG sonnent vraiment bien. Bon sustain.
La finition est très bonnes aussi, pas vu de défaut particulier, les mécaniques autobloquantes font bien leur boulot, les réglages ne bougent pas. Seul petit bémol, elle est un peu lourde, mais y'a pire.
@M Dream Wolf, si on rajoute les frais de port à l'international, la TVA et les frais de douane (payables à réception, me suis fait avoir une fois), 990€ c'est pas déconnant comparé à 957 dollars +frais.

De ESP LTD EC-1000 is, ondanks zijn gelijke vorm, een behoorlijk stuk lichter dan een Gibson Les Paul, wat langdurig spelen prettig maakt. Omdat de gitaar is uitgerust met 2 actieve EMGs hoef je niet bang te zijn dat het geheel fragiel gaat klinken want niets is minder waar! De pickups doen precies wat je verwacht en hebben zeer hoge output. De neck-pickup met de tonepot dicht klinkt behoorlijk jazzy, terwijl bridge-pickup met de tonepot helemaal open een felle toon afgeeft. Gooi bij beiden een flinke distortion er overheen, en je krijgt waarvoor je deze gitaar gekocht hebt: enorme oversturing en een dikke hardrock / metal toon!


De afwerking is goed. De gitaar zit goed in een dikke egale Silver Sparkle lak, die er goed uitziet! De frets lijken alle 24 goed ingelegd en gelijkmatig te zijn. Het zijn extra jumbo frets, die lang niet zo extra jumbo aanvoelen als bij sommige andere gitaren. De afstelling is ook behoorlijk goed, als heb ik uit persoonlijke smaak de brug heel iets lager moeten zetten.


De gitaar heeft stevige, metalen volume- en toonknoppen, die soepel draaien met een prettige hoeveelheid weerstand. Door de 2 volume pots kan de output per element geregeld worden. Er is slechts 1 tone pot die invloed heeft op beide elementen. Schakelen tussen de elementen gaat goed, de toggle switch voelt goed aan en werkt zonder gekraak. Ook de volume- en toon potmeters zijn geruisloos en voelen zeer solide aan.


De hals voelt heel prettige aan. De radius is kleiner dan een standaard Les Paul en de hals voelt snel aan en speelt ook snel. De stemmechanieken zijn voorzien van ESP locking tuners die zorgen voor een snelle en gemakkelijke manier van snaren wisselen / snaren vastzetten. De hals/kop van de gitaar zijn een tikkeltje aan de zware kant, waardoor de hals de neiging heeft iets naar beneden te zakken wanneer je de gitaar volledig los laat hangen.


De gitaar wordt geleverd in een kartonnen doos van ESP LTD met halsversteviging. Dit alles wordt verzonden in een enorme doos voor luchtbubbel-spul van Bax, waardoor er echt niets kan gebeuren met de gitaar!


Alles bij elkaar is deze LTD een zeer goed gebouwde, solide gitaar voor niet veel geld, maar wel met vrijwel alle gewenste "luxe" aan boord! Goede bouw, EMGs en een luxe finish, deze gitaar staat dus als een huis!

999 Euros ?! Serais-ce une mauvaise blague ? Rien que sur le site officiel de la compagnie ESP, ce produit est en vente à 957 DOLLARS ce qui fait environ 753 euros !!
Je veux bien les excuses du genre "ouais, mais tu sais faut qu'on se fasse une marge, c'est pas tout les jours facile" mais là quand même faut pas déconner...
