Sound & Tone
The 27" baritone scale and heavy .013–.062 string set keep low tunings tight and defined, while the mahogany body with maple cap and neck-thru construction add sustain and a firm midrange foundation. The active EMG 81 at the bridge brings a compressed, high-output attack suited to fast palm-muted rhythms and cutting leads, and the EMG 60TW-R neck pickup offers a clearer voice that thins into a more single-coil-like texture when the push/pull tone is engaged. Paired with the Macassar ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets, it leans toward modern metal, djent-adjacent riffing, and progressive playing where note separation under heavy gain matters.
ESP LTD MH-1000B Baritone Guitar Black Satin B-Stock
The MH-1000B sits perfectly in the hands as a true baritone workhorse, with the 27" baritone scale delivering the extra string tension and harmonic depth that defines the platform. The extra-thin U-contoured neck glides under your fingers with minimal friction, rewarding fast technique and precise intonation across extended lower tunings. Neck-thru construction locks in the sustain and resonance needed for crushing riffs and articulate leads, whether you're cutting through a live mix or tracking studio aggression. This B-Stock unit is fully functional with only minor cosmetic imperfections—a genuine opportunity to own a professional-grade ESP LTD at a reduced price.
Playability & Construction
The 3-piece maple neck with extra-thin U contour and Macassar ebony fingerboard create a fast, comfortable feel that handles speed and chording with equal ease across the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. A 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius accommodates both flat lead lines and aggressive chording without dead spots, while neck-thru body construction ensures maximum sustain and resonance from every note.
Tone & Electronics
EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60TW-R neck pickup with coil splitting deliver the articulate aggression required for modern heavy tunings, with brushed black chrome covers and active circuitry for consistency and punch. The push/pull tone control splits the neck pickup on demand, expanding tonal range from crushing rhythm to articulate lead textures without sacrificing the low-end authority that defines the baritone platform.
