ESP LTD EC-1008 Evertune, Black

Full Description

Deluxe & Advanced Electronics

The EC-1008 is powered by a pair of active EMG pickups, which consist of an EMG 81 in the bridge position and an EMG 60 at the neck. The EMG 81 is an intense and incredibly high output pickup, which provides a blistering sound with plenty of high end cut. The EMG 81/60 pairing is a match made in rock heaven as the EMG 60 in neck position produces an exceptionally clear sound with harmonic highs and full lows.

Mahogany Body

Mahogany as a body tonewood creates a warm and rich tone with excellent depth. It also offers durability and a tone which will mature over the years, for a long lasting investment. The resonant tone makes it an ideal companion for punchy rock music. In addition, the EC Series body shape also features a single cutaway, which allows easier access to the higher frets and more flexibility across the whole fingerboard.

3-Piece Mahogany Neck Paired With Macassar Ebony Fingerboard

The EC-1008's neck is made from 3-piece mahogany, which is sturdy, durable and more resistant to warping than the classic 1-piece. The mahogany neck offers a rich and resonant sound with plenty of warmth. It also has a punchy mid-range emphasis, and the macassar ebony fingerboard brings added sustain and snappy attack which complements the mahogany's deeper tone.

8 String Guitar

8 String Guitars offer an extended range for an incredibly versatile performance. They are favoured in rock and metal music styles, due to the ability to add extra low tonalities to power chords without the need for excessive tuning. The guitar also features a baritone scale length, which offers a snappy and punchier tone than a classic shorter scale guitar.
