A High-performance Axe with a Head-turning Satin Finish
The first thing you'll likely notice about the ESP LTD Deluxe H-1001 is its eye-grabbing satin finish — a first for the company's LTD line. This solidbody electric guitar is downright entrancing, as it appears to change color as light reflects from different angles. The LTD Deluxe H-1001 isn't just a tricked-out 4-banger with slick-looking ground effects, however. It's got plenty of horsepower under the hood. For starters, you'll enjoy rapid transit courtesy of a fast-playing maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard, and the guitar's set-through design delivers sustain for weeks. Plug into anything with gain, and you'll experience high-octane humbucker tones, thanks to Seymour Duncan. A coil-split also grants access to the full gamut of sonic textures. Top-shelf hardware, including a Hipshot bridge and rock-solid LTD locking tuners, rounds out the LTD Deluxe H-1001's killer features.
Horizon body style is primed for performance
The LTD Deluxe H-1001 features ESP's Horizon body style. At Sweetwater, we appreciate the tone-packed potential of these solidbody electric guitars. Just like ESP's high-end H Series instruments, the LTD Deluxe H-1001 boasts set-through neck construction, which elicits incredible sustain while enhancing articulation and clarity. And its 25.5-inch scale length is perfect for high-gain tones and down-tuned playing, giving you a powerful foundation for modern rock, metal, and fusion. H Series guitars fit you like a glove. Plus, they're lightweight and nicely balanced, so you don't have to expend energy keeping your neck from diving. Try an ESP H Series guitar on for size. You won't look back.
Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver an array of tonal textures
The ESP LTD Deluxe H-1001 is jam-packed with wide-ranging tone, thanks to its dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers. Its Pegasus bridge pickup is loaded with custom-wound coils and an Alnico V magnet, offering incredible string separation and satisfying tone to match. Its Sentient neck pickup completes the picture, adding harmonic complexity on top of traditional PAF-like voicing. Together, the Pegasus/Sentient duo will help you achieve a whole new level of technical performance. Beyond that, a push-pull pot extends your sonic range with single-coil tones. Both of the LTD Deluxe H-1001's pickups are mounted directly to the guitar’s body to increase its presence and resonance.
Thin "U" neck ensures excellent control, stability, and playability
Playing the LTD Deluxe H-1001 is a treat. Its 3-piece maple neck is cut to a smooth, playable Thin "U" profile. Its 13.7-inch-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard is adorned with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets — a favorite among players in heavy genres. What's more, offset pearloid bar inlays give the LTD Deluxe H-1001 additional visual appeal. The LTD Deluxe H-1001 also features a molded nut and LTD locking tuners for rock-solid tuning stability.
