With the ESP LTD Arrow-1000
In the construction of the LTD Arrow-1000, ESP pays special attention to the optimal combination of aggressive design and agile playing characteristics for the complex playing techniques of modern metal. The full-length, three-piece maple neckoffers excellent handling thanks to the flat "Extra Thin and profile with a compund radius that becomes flatter towards the higher registers. While mahogany body wings and a chic cloud maple top complete the guitar, the virtually wear-free stainless steel fretting in Extra Jumbo format promises smooth string bending.
The electrical tone conversion of the LTD Arrow-1000 is handled by a Set of the hip Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, which promises a wide spectrum of high-caliber metal sounds with two distinct voicings. While Voicing 1 of the Fluence Modern Ceramic humbucker at the bridge delivers the crisp and tight sound of a modern active pickup, Voicing 2 promises organic sounds with the dynamic feel of passive pickups. The Fluence Modern Alnico humbucker in the neck position, on the other hand, delivers a rounded active sound with detailed articulation for fluid soloing in the first voicing, and the full sound of a hot-rodded pickup of a passive nature in the second voicing. A 3-way switch and a volume control with pull switch for changing voicings provide full control over the sound of the electric guitar.
