However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:
Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.
For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.
This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Key Features
The ESP LTD EC-1000 QM is unlimited in its tonal power. Equipped with top grade components and featuring ESP's expert craftsmanship, you'll enjoy a playing experience that's unforgettable. The twin set of EMG pickups will make your amplifier scream, they're delightfully high output and produce sizzling sonics. Embrace the rock.
If its molten-hot sounds weren't enough, you'll also love the how easy it is to play. A thin U-shaped neck accompanied by an ebony fretboard provide lush, smooth action for your notes. And those notes are going to be fast, as that thin profile lets you fire up and down the registers at breakneck pace. It's all brought together by the fantastic Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, which together with locking tuners ensure your sound will always be precise, engaging and jaw-dropping.

Create an uproar. These humbuckers by EMG are deadly, menacing and extremely powerful. A popular combo, these raucous pickups are found in many metal guitars, so you can expect your tone to be fearsome. As they use active electronics, you'll get a boosted sound that's noise free and hits with a forceful impact.
Loaded with an EMG 60TW-R in the neck position and an EMG 81 at the bridge, you've got two tonally distinct pickups to enjoy. The 60TW-R is warm, rounded and vocal in its output. It's a smooth sound that will lift your solos and articulate rhythms with ease. You can also coil split this pickup for a new dynamic, thinner and sharper, this feature offers you a way to transform your attack. Set to the bridge 81 humbucker and prepare for a noise that's blistering, unrelenting and powerful enough to pierce any mix.
Let loose with as much energy as you can muster. The thin U-shaped mahogany neck is fast, polished and incredibly comfortable. Shaped to give your fingers ample room on the fretboard, you'll be able to unleash flurries of notes at blistering tempos. Chording is also effortless on this profile, as you have all that extra room to reach those awkward notes. Built for expansive playing, it's made from three layers of mahogany to ensure it can withstand your most aggressive sets. This is made for the long haul.
Formed in a set-through neck style, you'll have access to an endless sustain with each of your notes. Combined with the cutaway body style, it allows for loads of space at the base of the neck, giving you even more space for those exhilarating high-note solos.
Let your creativity run wild on an ebony fretboard. Smooth and slick, it's a blissful surface to touch. Naturally oily and slick, your riffs will fire off at an extreme pace on a board that perfectly complements the thin U neck shape. Innovate and explore, the 22 extra jumbo stainless frets make your soaring string bends effortless to perform. Not only that, but the low action point for the strings makes chording a breeze too, so there's no end to the musical vocabulary at your disposal.
It gets better. Because the frets are made from stainless steel, they're going to last. There's no worrying about them wearing down and affecting your performance, these will keep your playing pristine.
Reliable performance, precise control. These are what the Tonepros locking TOM bridge and hardtail offer you. It's easily adjustable to get the exact intonation you're looking for. And it gets better, your tuning will be stable for the set thanks to the locking nature of this bridge and the locking LTD machine heads. In unison with the set-through neck design this creates a potent amount of tonal depth that's yours to enjoy.
