ESP LTD M-1000 HT Black Fade

What we say:

At A Glance:

The ESP LTD M-1000 HT Black Fade, is one of the most recognisable shapes of the ESP range. Their high performance S-style guitar has been used to full effect by many artists in the metal world for decades. The M-1000 is the top of the line LTD version and instantly recognisable by the iconic, pointy, six in-a-line headstock shape. The double cut, 25.5" scale length styling clearly takes inspiration from a classic model, but it's the refinements that are where ESP really shine. The flattened neck radius with 24 frets, sleek Macassar ebony fingerboard and thin U neck profile help it to play like a dream. The ash body and distinctive burl poplar top combination looks beautiful and works well as a tonewood pairing. The M-1000HT also comes with high end appointments like a Hipshot string through body hardtail, locking tuners and Fishman Fluence pickups.

Features We Love:

Fishman Fluence Pickups

The Fishman Fluence pickups are a bit of a game changer. With an alnico magnet in the neck position and a modern, ceramic magnet in the bridge, combined with a push/pull control for the two different voicings. This guitar will cover vintage and modern tones for all sorts of genres.

Poplar Burl Top

This select, individual burl looks absolutely stunning. It's unique pattern is enhanced with the black fade finish.

Slim, Comfortable Neck

The M-1000's slim shape neck is slim, but doesn't leave you looking for more to grasp. Somewhat a classic feature to ESP guitars, it will satisfy both the guitarist new to the brand or someone who is well accustomed to the sleek neck shape.

Highlights:

• Ebony fingerboard that looks great with the black hardware and will give bite and high end clarity to your playing
• Locking tuners for extremely reliable tuning stability
• Neck-thru construction for increased sustain and resonance
