The M-HT Black Metal BLKS belongs to the M (Mirage) series of guitars, easily identified by the flat top body and pointed headstock with 6-in-line mechanics. The instrument's body construction consists of alder wings and a through-neck made of three pieces of maple with a narrow fast Extra Thin U profile. Twenty-four Extra Jumbo frets divide the ebony fingerboard surface. Position markers, luminescent dots and anything that would interfere with the dark concept are not found on the guitar.
The Blackened Black Winter passive humbucker offers good distortion, a high output signal and a typically cool "Scandinavian" tone. The needs of metal players are also catered for with a strict control in the form of a single volume potentiometer equipped with a Push/Pull (Coil-Split) function, so you can simply change the humbucker's sound character to single-coil in a second.
The strings are mounted in the company's high quality locking mechanisms and Hipshot tailpiece with string anchoring through the body. Hardware and company logo on the headstock in dark black accentuate the stylish design of the instrument.
ESP has been making electric guitars since 1984 and satisfied customers include Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera. The popularity of these instruments has also led to the creation of the LTD subsidiary, which offers 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.
