The M-1000 MS FM STBLKS uses an unorthodox concept of slanted frets (variable menzurys 648 - 673 mm), which provides the strings with optimal tension and, in the opinion of some musicians, a more natural movement of the hand on the fingerboard.
The mahogany body of the guitar is adorned with a solid flamed maple top. A five-piece maple and exotic purpleheart (amaranth) neck with a narrow, fast Thin U profile is bolted to an Ebony Macassar fingerboard fitted with twenty-four Extra Jumbo frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by offset position dots.
Two Seymour Duncan passive humbuckers with ceramic and Alnico magnets and high output signal provide the instrument's sound with the necessary articulation, fullness and dynamics for singing solos or chord breakdowns, while also providing density and aggression for ultra-fast guitar shred and sharply chiseled rock and metal riffs. Thanks to the push/pull tone shutter function, their coils can be split to achieve the sound of single-coil pickups. String attachment in the Hipshot's tailpiece and through the body of the instrument guarantees good sustain, while tuning stability is supported by the company's high-quality LTD Locking mechanisms.
ESP has been manufacturing electric guitars since 1984 and its satisfied customers include Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera. Due to the popularity of these instruments, a subsidiary company LTD was created to offer popular models in an affordable option. However, even in the case of ESP-LTD guitars, great emphasis is placed on the quality of workmanship and fitted components.
