Full Description
View Full DescriptionFishman Fluence multi-voice versatility
The EC-1000T/CTM is equipped with Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers, offering three distinct voicings per pickup for a wide tonal range. On the neck pickup, you get a vintage PAF-style tone, a more open and airy chime, and a single-coil-inspired sound. The bridge pickup provides a PAF voice, a hotter modern humbucker tone, and an overwound single-coil option. This flexibility allows you to move easily between clean, driven, and more expressive tones, making the guitar suitable for a wide range of styles without changing instruments.
Full-thickness body for added depth
The full-thickness mahogany body design provides increased sustain and a deeper tonal response compared to slimmer single-cut models. Without a waist cut, it retains more mass, contributing to a fuller low end and enhanced resonance. The flamed maple top adds brightness and clarity, ensuring notes remain articulate while maintaining warmth. This combination creates a balanced tonal foundation that supports both heavy rhythm playing and more detailed lead work with consistency.
Set-thru construction for smooth playability
The set-thru neck construction enhances sustain and provides a more connected feel across the fretboard. It allows easier access to higher frets, making it ideal for lead playing and technical passages. The three-piece mahogany neck adds strength and stability, helping maintain consistent performance over time. Combined with the ebony fingerboard, it delivers a smooth and responsive playing experience that suits both fast runs and more controlled phrasing.
Premium hardware and detailed finish
This model includes high-quality hardware designed for reliability and long-term performance. The TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece provide stable tuning and accurate intonation, while LTD locking tuners help maintain consistency during extended playing. The custom multi-ply binding and matching headstock enhance the overall aesthetic, giving the guitar a refined, premium look that complements its versatile sound and performance-focused design.
