LTD EC-1

Vintage Black – Change

Reborn for 2025.

From Stage to Road, this Guitar Never Compromises.

Meet the refreshed LTD EC-1 from Traveler Guitar: A no-compromise shred machine forged for the modern guitarist who needs full-scale feel and tone in a rig that’s made to move. Re-engineered for 2025 and now offered at an all-new, lower price, this axe is ready to melt faces without breaking your back—or your bank.

Hard Rock Heritage. Legendary DNA.

Officially licensed by ESP Guitars, the LTD EC-1 brings the iconic shape and aggressive spirit of the LTD EC series into a package that’s 24% shorter and 29% lighter than a standard guitar but still delivers full-scale power with a 24.75-inch playable neck. Weighing in at a mere 5 lbs 4 oz, this is the weapon of choice for road warriors, backstage rippers, and couch-bound riffers alike.

Built to Rip. Ready to Rule.

Equipped with a searing ESP-designed ALH-200B active humbucker, the LTD EC-1 doesn’t just look mean—it sounds absolutely lethal. Crank up the volume and tone controls, and this beast screams with tight lows, cutting highs, and everything in between.

Features:

Refreshed for 2025 with New Finishes and Lower Pricing: Updated with bold new looks and a more affordable price point, the 2025 LTD EC-1 delivers more style and value than ever.
Officially Licensed by ESP Guitars: This isn’t a copy—it’s the real deal. Designed in partnership with ESP, the LTD EC-1 delivers authentic LTD styling in a compact package.
New Colorways: Dark Brown Sunburst & See Thru Black Cherry with Quilted Tops: Two all-new finishes join the lineup; match your sound with your style.
Also Available in Snow White, Vintage Black Matte & Violet Shadow w/Quilted Top (Sweetwater Exclusive): From classic to aggressive to eye-catching, there's a finish to match your style.
Full 24.75-Inch Scale: Standard electric guitar scale length—no compromises in feel or playability.
24% Shorter, 29% Lighter Than Full-Size Guitars: Built to travel. Engineered to play like a full-size axe.
Only 5 lbs, 4 oz: Solid, stage-worthy feel—without the weight.
ESP-Designed ALH-200B Active Humbucker: High-output tone with tight lows, aggressive mids, and crisp highs.
Volume & Tone Controls: Shape your sound with simple, intuitive onboard controls.
Locking Tuners: Faster string changes and increased tuning stability.
Beveled Neck & Heel: Easy access to upper frets for lead work and soloing.
Mahogany Body & Neck; Black Walnut Fingerboard: The mahogany body gives you warmth and sustain that makes every note sing, while the black walnut fingerboard is smooth and fast—perfect for nailing those lightning-fast solos.
Strung with D’Addario EXL110 Strings: Ready to play out of the box with a trusted string set.
Custom Gig Bag Included: Lightweight, protective, and designed to go wherever you do.

Reviews

Excellent instrument in its pricerange, not a toy!

"Unlike the previous Traveler guitars i got (Speedster and Escape EG-1) the LTD EC-1 is an instrument i recorded with on multiple occasions without changing the original parts. I owned mine for 17 months ATM and its still in MINT condition (i started playing 1996 so obviously i know how to maintain a guitar). The LTD stays in tune for long + i was amazed by its fine quality. The Escape EG-1 is ok and serves its purpose but LTD is one of a kind. I thought about changing the pickup to another EMG - but it sounds good the way it is :)"

The air guitar I didn't know I wanted.

"It has been said that the best guitar is the one that will get you to pick it up, and after walking around my kitchen at 2am jamming out with my headphones on I think I've found the one. The size and shape of the EC-1 make it too convenient to not pick up, and I love having a headphone amp built in so I don't have to fiddle with any more gear than absolutely necessary. Guitar? Check. Pick? Check. Headphones? Check. And we're off! It's so light and compact that it almost feels like I'm just playing an air guitar. I love the sound it makes and being able to switch between clean, overdrive and distortion with the press of a button makes it feel so versatile to practice we with. To be fair this is still my first day with it, but I think this will be my go-to for a long, long time."

New 2025 model

"Great guitar, provides a very good out of town guitar playing experience as a substitute for my full size eclipse at home, very glad they did away with the built in headphone amp since there are so many high level and better travel amp options out there right now"

— Phil H. (5/5)

B-STOCK LTD EC-1

"BATERIES DEAD. STRINGS NAW. TUNERS SO SO. . . NOT ENOUGH VOLUME THROUGH HEADSETS. . STILL OUT ON THE ROLLER BRIDGE. . . THAT SAID. . I STILL LIKE IT. . GOOD WEIGHT. FEELS LIKE A NORMAL GUITAR. . FRETBOARD PLACEMENT ALONG WITH SHAVED HEEL MAKES IT EASY FOR PLAYING HIGHER REGISTERS(ALMOST FORCES YOU TO) . . . WELL MADE. . BEAUTIFUL. . . PLAY IT FOR HOURS AT A TIME. . . NOT LIKE LP. . . I'LL KEEP IT"

Love it

"Solid little thing. Carry an amp or headphones are good anywhere handles the outdoor heat in South Texas and high humidity"

— Ghost M. (5/5)

My 4th Traveler Guitar!

"Been eyeing this B-stock LTD EC-1 for quite awhile and finally pulled the trigger when TG offered and MA-5 amp along with it for $25. Knowing it was B stock I tempered my expectations but wasn't too concerned. When it arrived I was pleased to see it was cosmetically perfect with only rough fret edges (easy fix for me) and a tone potentiometer that seemed to spin much too freely (will investigate further). I am most impressed that TG quality control would put this as a B-Stock due to these minor issues. Most other guitar companies would pass it through and sell as brand new! Well done TG! The LTD-EC-1 is now the 4th addition to my Traveler Guitars (photo attached)!"

— Bob S. (5/5)

"And it's very light, I take it everywhere with me!!"
