With its flat-top body and clean electronics layout, there’s nothing to get in the way of everything from intense riffs and huge sizzling power chords to melodic lead lines. It features a comfortable 24.75” scale with a smooth set-thru heel construction, so there’s nothing to impede you as you grab the highest frets. It provides a classic mahogany body and three-piece mahogany neck to prioritize huge tones, and adds a distinctive brushed matte black pickguard to let you stand out from the crowd. The EC-01FT provides a 43mm nut, giving you a touch more fretboard in your hand for big power chords. It features a Macassar ebony fingerboard with pearloid block inlays and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. A recessed TonePros TOM bridge and string thru body keeps your string height low and comfortable while maximizing resonance. LTD locking tuners keep you in tune and make string changes a breeze. Perhaps the biggest advantage of the EC-01FT is the Custom 14, a new custom pickup designed exclusively for ESP by Seymour Duncan. Purpose-built to cover the specific needs of the ESP player, the EC-01FT’s flexible and dynamic Custom 14 pickup offers everything you need, ranging from clean, chimey intros to sizzling rock, classic metal, and hardcore tones… and the most crushing modern chugging and articulate, angular rhythm lines you ever hoped for. A push-pull control on the volume knob splits this pickup to the most wide-ranging single coil bridge territory ever offered.
