The M-1 CUSTOM '87 RAINBOW CRACKLE is a Super ST model with a body construction consisting of alder wings and a three-piece maple neck. Twenty-four Extra Jumbo-sized frets divide the Ebony Macassar fingerboard surface. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by offset position blocks.
The Seymour Duncan Distortion (Trembucker) humbucker with ceramic magnet and high output signal provides the instrument's sound with density and aggression for ultra-fast guitar shred and sharply chiseled rock and metal riffs, while also providing the necessary fullness, dynamics and precise articulation for singing solos or chord breakdowns. Within the minimalist control scheme, the guitar offers the maximum possible - Push/Pull on the volume knob with coil-split function to change the character of the humbucker to single-coil in seconds, and the EMG PA-2 Boost switch to kick the sound up to +20dB.
The strings are housed in the company's tuning machines and a Floyd Rose 1000 double-return tremolo, which you can use to add impressive sound effects to your playing. Locks on the zero fret ensure maximum tuning stability even with frequent use of the lever.
ESP has been making electric guitars since 1984 and its satisfied customers include Kirk Hammet, 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. Even in the case of ESP-LTD guitars, however, great emphasis is placed on the quality of workmanship and fitted components.
