One look at the ESP LTE1000ETCHMS LTD TE-1000 EverTune is all it takes to know that's what this electric guitar is all about.

By combining a vintage T-style body design with electronics and appointments geared for the modern player, the LTD TE-1000 EverTune punches far above its class and fully delivers. The mahogany body, Thin "U"-shaped maple neck, and ebony fingerboard come together beautifully, blending warmth, resonance, and durability made to last for generations. Its pair of high-powered EMG active humbuckers are ideal for dishing out low-tuned chugs and molten leads with ease. And with an EverTune bridge, you're guaranteed flawless tuning stability and intonation across all six strings. If a full-force metal tone with exceptional playability is what you're chasing, the ESP LTD TE-1000 EverTune is your first-class ticket to the finish line.

Hard-rocking tonewood combination
ESP has crafted some of metal's finest instruments for nearly a half century. The LTD TE-1000 EverTune continues this tradition, utilizing a classic tonewood combination to reveal its forceful presence and commanding sound. A mahogany body sits at its core, imbuing warmth and resonance into the LTD TE-1000 EverTune. Shredders love ESP's world-class Thin "U" neck profile, a feature that makes this axe incredibly difficult to put down. Capped with a fast-playing ebony fingerboard, the LTD TE-1000 EverTune's endlessly sustaining and rock-solid mahogany neck sports the perfect recipe for finger-twisting solos and effortless 6-string sweeps.

Searing pair of EMG humbuckers with plenty of versatility
Power. Clarity. Aggression. As tried-and-true active pickups for all forms of rock and metal, EMG humbuckers achieve all this and so much more. The LTD TE-1000 EverTune is equipped with an EMG 81 in the bridge and a 60TW-R in the neck, providing an excellent balance of warmth and grit. A true landmark of modern metal tone, the 81 in the bridge is built using beefy ceramic magnets and close aperture coils delivering fat, thunderous growls and metallic screams. The EMG 60TW-R humbucker in the neck combines high output with a very bright high end for a tone that cuts cleanly through the densest of mixes. This pickup combination is anything but a one-trick pony; it's capable of everything from shimmering, glassy cleans and vintage PAF tones when experimenting with the volume and tone controls and push-pull coil split.

The EverTune bridge on the LTD TE-1000 EverTune is an all-mechanical system that helps you stay in tune longer under any playing situation. Small springs keep constant tension on your strings, giving you long-lasting tuning stability and incredibly accurate intonation. You can even adjust it to control how much your pitch changes when you bend a string. Whether you're playing long gigs or marathon recording sessions, your tuning will be more stable regardless of your playing style, temperature, or other variables.
