Get to know them!





The Arrow’s enduring design and playability features have made it a go-to for hard rock and heavy metal players alike. An offset V-shape body, an extra thin "U"-shaped neck, and high-visibility inlays give you complete access to all 24 frets with ease. Bold sustain is always on deck thanks to a quilted maple top, solid mahogany body, and a 3-piece maple neck. Sweetwater guitarists have found a lot to love in the LTD Arrow-1000’s handpicked active Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, which offer multiple voicing options you can dial in by pulling the volume knob. Finally, a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo allows you to add everything from subtle textures to dive-bombs while staying perfectly in tune.

Rock-ready features





The LTD Arrow-1000 is designed for serious shredders and high-octane rockers who want a reliable rock tone with a low-hassle playing experience. The ergonomic V-shaped body and ultra-thin neck refuse to get in between you and your notes, no matter where you find yourself on the fingerboard, and the unique placement of the output jack on the upper-horn keeps cables out of your way so you can freely roam the stage. Plus, a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo is also onboard for maximum note expression that retains tuning stability.

Handpicked Fishman active pickups





Fishman’s Fluence Humbuckers offer wide-ranging tone via active pickups with multiple selectable voicings accessed with the push-pull volume knob. The pairing of a ceramic pickup in the bridge and an alnico in the neck provides maximum tone flexibility and variable outputs in one fast and convenient setup. Tone varieties include thick, aggressive rhythm and smooth leads with rich harmonic depth and smoothness.





Sharp stage presence with a bold look





The Arrow-100’s sharp yet sleek design is built for unbeatable stage presence that turns heads and looks as good as it sounds. Crisp body contours, a matching reverse headstock, and bold hardware are a complete package that can’t help but up your swagger onstage. Welcome to the wild world of V-shaped guitars!
