ESP LTD JM-I Josh Middleton Guitar Deep Blood Moon B-Stock

B-Stock with minor cosmetic blemish with white spots on the side of the headstock and on the back body, not affecting playability or function. Made in Korea, the ESP LTD JM-I Josh Middleton Signature model is designed for the modern metal guitarist seeking precision, playability, and tone clarity. Built in collaboration with Sylosis guitarist Josh Middleton, the JM-I combines minimalist design with high-performance specs for serious studio and stage work.

This striking model features a sleek Deep Blood Moon finish over a quilted maple top on an alder body, paired with a three-piece roasted maple neck and Macassar ebony fretboard. With bolt-on construction and a 25.5” scale, this guitar provides snappy attack, fast response, and outstanding sustain. A single Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic Humbucker powers the tone, offering versatile voice selection via push-pull control. High-end components include a recessed Gotoh TOM bridge with string-thru-body design, LTD locking tuners, Luminlay side markers, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets for smooth, effortless playability. Includes ESP form fit hardshell case.
