The LTD Deluxe Arrow-1000 is ESP's take on the angular V, a neck-through import aimed at players who want modern metal hardware without Custom Shop pricing.
Watch
Why it matters
ESP uses the LTD Deluxe tier to put Custom Shop shapes within reach, and the Arrow-1000 carries the specification that matters for the style: neck-through construction, a compound-radius neck, extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and a Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge. It sits above the standard LTD range and below the Japanese ESP Original line, which is where most working players shop. Given the hardware list, the finished look tends to matter as much as the specification when buyers choose between colours.
Note
The angular modern shape at import prices.
Specifications
- Scale length: 648 mm (25.51 in)
- Neck shape: Extra Thin U
Before you buy
- Double-locking trems take time to learn and patience to restring
- Neck-through construction limits modification and repair options
- Used LTD Deluxe models are common, so compare against current new pricing
