Tetrarch’s Josh Fore is here to show you just how reliable the LTD Deluxe EC-01 is when it comes to doling out heavy riffs.
“The EC 01 has been honestly great for low tunings,” said Fore. “Like I said, we play in drop A on a six-string, which can be a nightmare sometimes. A lot of guys doing that might have a longer neck, or they’re using a baritone, or even a seven-string for that tuning.
“But even with the 24 3/4″ neck on this one, I put on some thick strings and it holds its tune super well. You can dig in, it’s not all floppy. It just takes low tunings really well, and I don’t know what it is about the guitar, but it’s super clear even when you get down there low. You hear every note, which is pretty cool.”
The LTD Deluxe EC-01 FT offers a 24.75″ scale with set-thru neck construction for upper fret access, while the Mahogany body and three-piece neck deliver powerful tone. Add in a matte Black pickguard, Macassar Ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets, and a 43mm nut, and you’ve got a guitar built for bold looks and even bolder sound.
The LTD Deluxe EC-01 FT further boasts a recessed TonePros bridge with string-thru design boosts sustain and keeps action low, while LTD locking tuners make tuning stable and string changes fast.
But the real deal is the Seymour Duncan Custom 14 pickup, designed just for ESP. From clean, sparkling tones to brutal modern chugs and everything in between, this pickup delivers unmatched versatility. A push-pull volume knob even lets you split the coil for punchy single-coil tones, making this one of the most dynamic guitars in the LTD lineup.
