Swamp Ash Body and Flamed Maple Top for Clarity, Resonance and Visual Impact
The LTD TH-1000ET’s swamp ash body delivers a balanced tonal foundation with strong low-end presence, articulate mids and crisp highs that remain defined under heavy gain. Topped with a flamed maple cap, the body gains added snap and harmonic clarity, enhancing note separation and projection while contributing a bold, high-end aesthetic. Lightweight yet resonant, this construction ensures comfort during long performances without sacrificing sustain or tonal depth. Together, the ash body and maple top provide a dynamic, responsive platform that translates subtle nuances and aggressive attack with equal authority.
Three-Piece Roasted Maple Neck and Macassar Ebony Fingerboard for Speed and Stability
The TH-1000ET features a thin U-shaped, three-piece roasted maple neck engineered for maximum stability and comfortable playability. Roasting enhances the wood’s density, reducing susceptibility to environmental changes while providing a snappy, responsive feel. Topped with a Macassar ebony fingerboard, the 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets glide effortlessly for fast legato runs, wide bends and technical precision. Offset dot inlays provide clear position reference, while the smooth neck contour allows effortless movement across all frets. Together, the neck and fingerboard create a platform that is both fast and resilient, built to handle the most demanding performances.

Whether performing metal riffs, intricate leads or jazz-inflected chord voicings, the TH-1000ET provides expressive, professional-grade tone across all musical styles.
