Sound & Tone
The alder body and bolt-on maple neck give this M-1001 a tight, focused attack, while the Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker with ceramic construction adds punchy low end, articulate midrange and long sustain that stays clear under high gain. The 25.5" scale and macassar ebony fingerboard keep note definition crisp for fast riffing and extended-range chording, and the push-pull voice selector shifts between active humbucker voicings for cleaner or more aggressive textures without extra pedals. With a Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo and locking nut holding pitch through dive bombs, it suits metal, hard rock and technical lead playing.
ESP LTD Deluxe M-1001 Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin
The M-1001 Deluxe is engineered for players who demand comfort during marathon sessions and flawless stability on stage. Its refined ergonomics and balanced weight feel natural in hand, while the smooth satin finish and extra-thin u-shaped neck reduce fatigue during extended play. The resonant flat-top alder body pairs with precision hardware and optimized geometry that keeps your hand in the pocket, whether powering through heavy riffs or executing intricate techniques. Active electronics coupled with locking hardware guarantee tuning stability and consistent tone across any style you throw at it.
Playability & Build
The 3-piece maple neck with satin finish and extra-thin u-shaped profile sits comfortably during long gigs and practice, while 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets with offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays ensure visibility and responsive action under your fingers. A 25.5" scale and 43mm locking nut lock in rock-solid intonation and tuning retention, anchored by Grover tuners and the bulletproof Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo for pitch stability through aggressive playing and dive-bombs.
Tone & Electronics
