Any plans to release this in an all black satin finish? Been looking desperately for a higher end 22 fret Eclipse in black satin with all black hardware.

Hi E.J., there are no plans at this time but certainly it could be an option in the future. Please note that this model has 24F, not 22F.

I have had this guitar for 2 days now... and I'm finding it very hard to put down. The Fluence pickups are amazing, the neck is very fast for a "LP" style body, and it is perfectly weighted. I absolutely love this machine!!!

 

I picked it up because I needed a guitar that didn't have a Floyd Rose, and I cannot be more happy. THANK YOU very much ESP!!!!!

Hi Marcus, Thank you very much for your feedback and flattering review! It's really great to hear how much you like your new instrument, and thanks for choosing ESP!

Hey Yo, ESP! Thanks for finally updating (most of) these 1000 series models to ebony fretboards. If you’re spending $800 + on a guitar, I feel it’s a necessity. Now, please bring back the 1000T/CTM, put an carved heel where the neck meets the body and swap those EMGs for Fluence and I’ll more than happily drop $1K.

Hey Jonathan, thanks for letting us know what you're looking for. We actually are releasing 2 EC-1000T CTM models with set thru smooth heels, but they will be loaded with EMG 57/66 TWIN (Brand new from EMG). There will be another full thickness model, not CTM spec but with a Flame top, with Fluence Open Core Classics. I hope you can check out the new versions with splitable EMG pickups, even though you're looking for Fluence.

if you wanna change the pickups to emg do you need to make new holes or they will fit in place of the fishmans?

Todd B. ESP

Hi Panagiotis, The pickups are the same size (they very only slightly) so they will fit into the route.

I just bought a 2016 LTD EC-1000ET on Reverb. Is it possible to install the FIshman Fluence Devin Townsend Signature pickups in this guitar without making any structural changes to my guitar?

Todd B. ESP

Hi Michael A, I am not familiar with the Devon Townsend models, but if they are typical to most Fluence pickups, then yes, just disconnect the old pickups and connect the new pickups to the quick connect cables. If Devon's pickups have more than 2 voices or any additional features then you would have to modify the wiring but chances are his pickups have Voice 1 and 2 just like regular Fluence and so you can use existing wiring. Good luck!
