The Black Metal Series guitars boast build quality boldly comparable to LTD Deluxe 1000 Series instruments — with a dark, menacing character: an all-black treatment of every component and piece of hardware, a single premium-class pickup, an ebony fingerboard, glow-in-the-dark side markers and a new black metal LTD logo on the headstock. The EC-Black Metal is the iconic ESP Eclipse shape taken to absolute black.
🏆 SoundsGood — genuine LTD instruments only, with full warranty and service support.
One Pickup: Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter
No compromises and no extra switches: the single bridge Seymour Duncan "Blackened" Black Winter is mounted directly into the body — maximum transfer of the wood's resonance. The Black Winter was built for extreme metal: dense, vicious attack, articulation at the highest gain and icy highs. The controls — one volume knob. That's it.
Deep Set-Thru Neck and a 24.75" Scale
At its core is the popular single-cutaway ESP Eclipse shape with set-thru construction: the deeply set three-piece mahogany neck flows into the body, opening free access to the upper frets on a 24.75" scale. A Thin U profile, a Macassar ebony fingerboard with no inlays — just a clean dark plane and 24 stainless steel extra-jumbo frets that won't wear out for decades.
Black on Black: Hardware and Details
The TonePros Locking TOM bridge and tailpiece lock onto the body — tight attack and confident sustain. The LTD locking tuners are the cherry on this black cake: quick string changes and stable tuning. The Black Satin matte finish, black hardware and glowing side markers make an instrument built for the dark stage. Factory-strung with D'Addario XL110 (10–46).

Who It's For
The EC-Black Metal is for the extreme-genre musician who knows exactly what they want: one pickup, one knob and zero distractions. Black, death, doom, sludge — an instrument with Deluxe 1000-level build quality and aesthetics that serve the image as much as the sound.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why only one pickup and one knob?
That's the Black Metal Series philosophy: nothing between you and the sound. One premium Black Winter at the bridge covers everything extreme metal needs.
What is the Seymour Duncan Black Winter?
A humbucker built specifically for extreme metal: dense, vicious attack and articulation at the highest gain. The Blackened version comes in an all-black treatment.
What does set-thru construction give?
The deeply set neck flows into the body: better sustain, resonance and free upper-fret access.
What are the benefits of stainless steel frets?
They barely wear at all, keeping a mirror-smooth surface for decades — bends stay silky forever.
Is a gig bag included?
No, the package includes the guitar and adjustment wrenches. A gig bag or case can be selected separately.
