Wide-ranging versatility courtesy of Seymour Duncan pickups





As more and more guitarists seek out versatile instruments to handle a variety of sounds and playing situations, ESP made sure to equip the LTD Phoenix-1000 QM with Seymour Duncan pickups to get the job done. The Custom Nickel bridge humbucker delivers edge-of-breakup cleans all the way to full-on sonic decimation when pushed to the limit, with every note ringing through in complete clarity. In the neck rests a Phat Cat P-90, delivering that beloved P-90 bark and bite in a familiar humbucker format. And with push-pull controls for coil-splitting in a cinch, it will be a while before you discover everything the LTD Phoenix-1000 QM has to offer.





Tonepros bridge and LTD locking tuners





Players who understand the importance of tuning, action, and intonation will delight in the LTD Phoenix-1000 QM's Tonepros TOM bridge/tailpiece and LTD locking tuners ? tuners and bridges like these are common aftermarket upgrades for players looking to enhance their instruments.
