Sharp angles, fast response and uncompromising tone define the ESP LTD Deluxe NV-1000 electric guitar, a modern take on ESP’s aggressive V-style design built for serious performance. Designed around neck-thru-body construction at a 25.5" scale length, the NV-1000 pairs a mahogany body with a thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck to deliver strong sustain, immediate attack and a tightly focused low end. Built for players who spend as much time recording and touring as they do refining technique, this electric guitar is engineered to stay precise and controlled under extreme conditions.
EMG 81 and 60 Pickups for Focused High-Gain Clarity
The NV-1000 is loaded with an EMG active pickup set featuring an EMG 81 in the bridge position and an EMG 60 in the neck. The EMG 81 delivers tight low end, fast attack and cutting clarity that excels in heavy rhythm work and aggressive lead tones. The EMG 60 adds a smoother more rounded voice in the neck position, making it well suited for clean passages, melodic lines and articulate solos. Together, they form a high-output pairing that remains clear and controlled at high gain.
Floyd Rose 1000SE Tremolo for Extreme Control
A Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo bridge with stainless steel screws anchors the LTD Deluxe NV-1000, providing exceptional tuning stability during aggressive pitch manipulation. Dive bombs, squeals and wide vibrato techniques remain precise and in tune thanks to the locking nut and bridge system. This tremolo setup is built for players who rely on expressive whammy use without sacrificing intonation or reliability.
Neck and Fingerboard Built for Speed
The thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck is designed for fast fluid movement across the fretboard, offering a smooth feel that stays consistent during long sessions. A Macassar ebony fingerboard carries 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, providing a slick playing surface for wide bends, rapid runs and confident vibrato. The reversed headstock reinforces the guitar’s aggressive visual identity while supporting balanced string tension.
Neck-Thru Construction With Road-Ready Hardware
Neck-thru-body construction allows the maple neck to run the full length of the body, increasing sustain and structural strength while maintaining seamless access to the highest frets. Precise Grover tuners provide dependable tuning stability, and matching black hardware completes a build designed for durability and consistency under regular stage and studio use.
