Title: ESP LTD EC-1000 FR
Post by: Infliktor on January 22, 2009, 04:43:11 PM
I ordered one of these yesterday.  The description says a Floyd Rose 1000 series.  Anyone played one of these?

i think they were annunced at namm the other day, if that is the case id contact who you bought if from to get an estimated delivery date as i wouldn't expect it before the summer.

Pretty sure we've known about them for a while.

Meant to be pretty good guitars, the 1000 series LTDs are normally superb, I suspect the Eclipses with the floyds are no worse. And its an OFR too, should be a pretty good guitar.

I wonder where the Floyd Rose 1000s are made

The good Floyds that I am used to are the Floyd Rose 100 series - made in Germany

nope, they were officially anounced at namm. they are in the new for 2009 section of the esp website (http://www.espguitars.com/news/news.html) they do normally take about 6 months to supply the new models.

Musiciansfriend has been selling them since about a month ago.  I ordered mine from Piney Hills Music for a better price and it is in shipment to him from Hollywood as we speak.   They just happened to announce it at NAMM
