Pure sonic destruction. One look at the ESP LTD Phoenix-1000 EverTune is all it takes to know that's what this electric guitar is all about. By combining a curvaceous Phoenix body design with electronics and appointments geared for the modern player, the LTD Phoenix-1000 punches far above its class and fully delivers. The mahogany body, thin "U"-shaped mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard come together beautifully, blending warmth, resonance, and durability made to last for generations. Its pair of high-powered Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers are ideal for dishing out low-tuned chugs and molten leads with ease. And with an EverTune bridge, you're guaranteed flawless tuning stability and intonation across all six strings. If a full-force metal tone with exceptional playability is what you're chasing, the ESP LTD Phoenix-1000 EverTune is your first-class ticket to the finish line.





Fluence Modern active pickups for endless tonal options





Thanks to the LTD Phoenix-1000's Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, you'll be able to harness multiple eras of sought-after humbucker tones. These pickups provide you with your choice of two unique, selectable voices. Revel in the tight bass, crisp highs, and subtle growl supplied by the Fluence's modern active pickup voice. If you're feeling a bit gnarly, these pickups' high-output humbucker voice is tailor-made for distortion. Guitarists at Sweetwater are blown away by the range of sounds that can be milked out of the LTD Phoenix-1000, and we're confident that you will be, too.





EverTune has arrived





The cutting-edge EverTune bridge system supports your playing and saves you precious time by nearly eliminating the need to tune after picking up your guitar. EverTune works through an ingenious system of springs and levers that lock in each string's tuning and keep it there -- even through aggressive playing, deep bends, and inclement weather that would typically force you to interrupt play for multiple tuning breaks.
