Taking a page from, undoubtedly, one of the coolest-looking guitars in ESP's entire repertoire – their single-cutaway Eclipse series – the LTD Deluxe EC-01FT is a modern interpretation that boasts refined features and hard-hitting tones for players with exquisite taste.

The EC-01FT is a single-cutaway guitar with a minimalist flat-top body, a streamlined layout, and no unnecessary fluff. It features a 24.75” scale and a smooth set-thru neck heel that enhances playability by providing easier access to the highest frets.
