The ESP LTD TE-1000 Black Blast electric guitar is a high-performance instrument designed for players who demand exceptional tone, playability, and a distinctive aesthetic. This guitar features a unique textured finish, a resonant swamp ash body, and a fast-playing roasted maple neck, making it ideal for a wide range of musical styles. With its powerful Seymour Duncan pickups and premium features like a compound radius fingerboard and stainless steel frets, the TE-1000 Black Blast is ready to take your playing to the next level.
Swamp Ash Body and Bolt-On Construction for a Balanced and Resonant Tone
The TE-1000 Black Blast features a swamp ash body, a tonewood known for its resonant qualities and balanced frequency response. Swamp ash delivers a clear and articulate sound with a tight low end, punchy mids, and sparkling highs, making it ideal for a wide range of musical styles. The bolt-on construction enhances the guitar's attack and clarity, contributing to its overall sonic versatility. This combination of tonewood and construction creates a guitar that's equally at home with clean tones, crunchy rhythms, and searing leads.
Seymour Duncan Sentient and Pegasus Pickups for a World of Tonal Possibilities
This electric guitar is equipped with a Seymour Duncan Sentient humbucker in the neck position and a Seymour Duncan Pegasus humbucker in the bridge position. These pickups are designed to deliver a powerful and versatile sound with exceptional clarity and definition. The Sentient provides a warm and articulate tone with a smooth attack, while the Pegasus offers a hot output and a wide dynamic range. The push-pull control on the tone knob allows you to split both humbuckers into single-coils, further expanding the guitar's sonic versatility.
Roasted Maple Neck and Macassar Ebony Fingerboard for Effortless Playability
The TE-1000 Black Blast features a roasted maple neck, a process that enhances the wood's stability and resonance. The roasted maple neck provides a smooth and comfortable playing experience, allowing for effortless transitions across the fretboard. The Macassar ebony fingerboard is known for its smooth feel and fast response, adding a touch of "snap" to the attack and enhancing the guitar's overall clarity and articulation. The compound radius fingerboard ensures comfortable chording in the lower registers and effortless bending in the higher registers, while the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide exceptional durability and a smooth playing surface.
Premium Features and a Distinctive Finish
The ESP LTD TE-1000 Black Blast is adorned with premium features that enhance its performance and aesthetics. The black hardware complements the guitar's sleek design, while the LTD locking tuners ensure smooth and precise tuning. The Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design provides exceptional tuning stability and sustain. The guitar's Black Blast finish is a unique textured finish that adds a distinctive visual appeal. With its combination of exceptional tone, versatile electronics, and comfortable playability, the TE-1000 Black Blast is a true performer's instrument.
