A pair of Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers give the EC-1000T CTM an enormous tonal range, covering vintage-inspired warmth, hotter modern tones, and brighter single-coil-style sounds. The Thin U-shaped mahogany neck keeps the playing experience smooth and effortless, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets provide a slick, responsive feel.

The EC-1000T CTM takes inspiration from classic single-cut guitars while introducing premium modern upgrades aimed at serious performers. Its full-thickness chambered mahogany body delivers the warmth, sustain, and low-end richness expected from a traditional design, while the chambering helps reduce overall weight for improved comfort during longer sessions. A flamed maple top adds extra snap and definition to the sound while giving the Tobacco Sunburst Satin finish impressive visual depth under stage lighting. Multi-ply binding around the body and headstock completes the upscale appearance, giving the guitar a classy and refined aesthetic.
Equipped with Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers, the EC-1000T CTM offers far more tonal versatility than a standard dual-humbucker setup. Multiple selectable voicings allow the pickups to move between vintage PAF-style warmth, hotter modern output, and sharper single-coil-inspired articulation with ease. The bridge pickup can produce everything from smooth classic crunch to aggressive high-gain punch, while the neck pickup balances warmth and clarity for fluid lead work and expressive cleans. Push/pull controls make switching between voices immediate and intuitive, giving you a wide range of usable tones without cluttering the guitar with excessive controls.
The three-piece mahogany neck uses ESP’s Thin U profile, creating a fast and comfortable feel that suits both technical lead work and tight rhythm playing. Set-thru construction improves sustain while allowing smooth access to the upper frets for unrestricted soloing higher up the neck. The Macassar ebony fingerboard feels slick beneath the fingers while adding crisp note definition and attack to the guitar’s overall sound. Twenty-two extra jumbo stainless steel frets provide excellent durability and a smooth playing surface that keeps bends, tapping, and vibrato feeling effortless even during demanding performances.
The EC-1000T CTM is fitted with premium hardware designed for dependable performance in professional situations. A TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece improve sustain, tuning consistency, and intonation accuracy while helping the guitar remain stable under aggressive playing styles. LTD locking tuners make restringing quicker and improve tuning reliability. The intuitive control layout provides easy access to the guitar’s multiple pickup voicings while keeping operation simple and performance focused. Every detail works together to create a stable, responsive instrument built for serious long-term use.
