Dressed in an imposing Black Satin finish with matching all-black hardware and a black metal LTD logo on the headstock, this instrument strips away all non-essential aesthetics to focus entirely on raw power and devastating tonal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003eThe foundation of this guitar is a classic mahogany body paired with a rock-solid, 3-piece mahogany neck featuring a set-thru construction. This design ensures virtually endless sustain and completely seamless access to the highest frets. The premium Macassar ebony fingerboard is left completely clean with no inlays, emphasizing its stealthy look. It features a fast 350mm radius, a comfortable Thin \"U\" neck contour, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, providing a slick, high-speed playing surface built to handle the most intense riffing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eFor its signature voice, the EC Black Metal is armed with a single, direct-mounted Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter humbucker in the bridge position. This pickup is engineered specifically for extreme metal styles, delivering a crushing midrange, tight low-end tracking, and razor-sharp high-end articulation under heavy saturation. The streamlined control layout consists of a single master volume knob equipped with a push\/pull function to split the humbucker, offering instant access to crisp, single-coil-like textures alongside its primary high-output roar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe hardware appointments are strictly professional-grade and optimized for absolute stage reliability. It features a TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece, which locks directly to the posts for maximum vibration transfer and a solid anchoring feel under palm-mutes. Coupled with a durable molded nut and high-performance LTD locking tuners, this guitar delivers rock-solid tuning stability night after night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a used ESP LTD EC Black Metal in Black Satin in good condition. There are a handful of item to call out cosmetically. There's a finish imperfection between the bridge and the tailpiece. Along both sides of the neck, there's been some finish cracks most likely from the fret ends pushing through the finish. You can't feel the finish cracks while playing, but if you run your nail over them, you can tell it's an open finish crack. See photos for reference. Neither of these items effects the playability of the guitar. It comes equipped with our Pro-Tech Setup, ensuring it arrives ready to play straight out of the box. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003ePro-Tech Setup:\u003c\/b\u003e Every guitar we sell receives our Pro-Tech setup, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003eNeck adjustment for proper relief\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003eAction setup for clean, buzz-free playability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003eIntonation across all frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003ePickup height adjustment for balanced output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6,4,0\"\u003eFull electronics inspection and play-test\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eYour LTD EC Black Metal will arrive dialed-in and performance ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSpecs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003eFinish: Black Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003eConstruction: Set-Thru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003eScale Length: 24.75\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\"\u003eBody Material: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,4,0\"\u003eNeck Material: 3-Piece Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,5,0\"\u003eFingerboard: Macassar Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,6,0\"\u003eFingerboard Radius: 350mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,7,0\"\u003eNeck Contour: Thin U\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,8,0\"\u003eNut Width: 42mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,9,0\"\u003eNut Type: Molded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,10,0\"\u003eFrets\/Type: 24 XJ Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,11,0\"\u003eHardware Color: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,12,0\"\u003eStrap Button: Standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,13,0\"\u003eTuners: LTD Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,14,0\"\u003eBridge: TonePros Locking TOM \u0026amp; Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,15,0\"\u003eBridge Pickup: Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter (Pull Volume to Split)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,16,0\"\u003eElectronics: Passive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,17,0\"\u003eElectronics Layout: Master Volume (Push\/Pull)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9,18,0\"\u003eStrings: D'Addario NYXL1046\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ESP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49025034682595,"sku":"CI24071863","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1109\/3324\/files\/F696B7E5-9770-4112-B9A8-B30215649F79_1_105_c.jpg?v=1780177779","url":"https:\/\/www.dropdeeguitars.com\/products\/esp-ltd-ec-black-metal-electric-guitar-black-satin","provider":"Drop Dee Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
