Why Choose the ESP LTD M-1000HT?
-
Neck-Thru Construction & Extra Thin U Profile: The neck-thru-body design provides massive sustain, while the 3-piece maple neck features an Extra Thin U contour and a natural satin finish on the back for supreme, friction-free speed.
-
Compound Radius & Stainless Steel Frets: The Macassar ebony fingerboard features a 300-400mm compound radius, allowing for effortless chording at the lower frets and extreme bending at the higher frets. Paired with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, it guarantees smooth, durable playability for years to come.
-
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers: Direct-mounted for optimal resonance, these active pickups (Alnico in the neck, Ceramic in the bridge) deliver incredibly versatile tones. A push-pull Tone knob activates the second voicing, giving you a massive palette ranging from pristine cleans to crushing high-gain.
-
Hipshot Hardtail Bridge: For players who want rock-solid tuning stability and aggressive attack, the Hipshot fixed bridge with string-thru-body design transfers maximum resonance and keeps your tuning locked in.
