ESP LTD Deluxe Arrow-1000 Electric Guitar – Used
A bold, offset V-shape shred machine with neck-thru mahogany construction, a fast Macassar ebony fingerboard, and a Floyd Rose 1000SE — built to stand out and hold its tuning through the most aggressive playing.
Is This the Right Guitar for You?
The Arrow-1000 is made for the player who wants to be seen and heard. Its striking offset V shape is pure attitude, and the LTD Deluxe build backs up the looks with serious performance: a neck-thru-body design that joins a mahogany body to a 3-piece maple neck for long sustain and smooth upper-fret access, plus a compound-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard that stays fast and comfortable from open chords to 24th-fret leads. The Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo handles dive bombs and stays in tune, and Grover tuners keep everything locked in. This is a smart pick for metal and hard rock players who want a distinctive, high-performance instrument — and as a pre-owned guitar, it is a chance to land a Deluxe-series axe at a friendlier price. Reach out and we will walk you through this specific guitar's condition and details.
