Description
Sound & Tone
The 27" baritone scale keeps B standard tuning tight and defined, while the mahogany body with maple cap pushes midrange punch and the neck-through build extends sustain behind every note. The EMG 81 at the bridge gives aggressive, high-contrast attack for palm-muted riffing and lead runs, and the EMG 60TW-R neck pickup adds a clearer voice with a coil-split option for thinner, single-coil-style passages. Paired with the ebony fingerboard and compound radius, it suits metal and progressive rock players who need low-register chord clarity alongside fast upper-neck work.
ESP LTD M-1000B Baritone Guitar – Black Satin
The M-1000B is built for guitarists demanding extended range and serious low-end punch. Its neck-through construction and extra-thin maple neck create a responsive, stable platform for aggressive playing across the full 27" baritone scale, while the compound radius ebony fingerboard handles both speed runs and heavy lower-register riffs with equal command.
Playability & Construction
Neck-through-body design locks in superior sustain and neck stability—essential when pushing down to B standard and beyond. The three-piece maple neck with extra-thin U contour sits comfortable in the hand during long sets, minimizing fatigue through extended sessions. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features a 300-400mm compound radius and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, letting you nail precise intonation across extreme tunings without sacrificing playability or feel.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60TW-R neck pickup with brushed black chrome covers deliver the articulation and aggression that cut through heavy riffing and solos, with the neck pickup's push-pull coil-split opening up single-coil tonal flexibility when you need it. The mahogany body with maple cap reinforces midrange presence and sustain across the extended baritone range, ensuring clarity even at lower tunings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tuning range does the M-1000B handle?
The 27-inch baritone scale is designed for tunings as low as B standard (B-E-A-D-F#-B) without intonation or playability loss. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and compound-radius ebony fingerboard support both low-register chord voicings and speed work across this extended range.
How does the coil-split feature work?
The EMG 60TW-R neck pickup includes a push-pull coil-split control that lets you switch from humbucker mode to single-coil voicing. This adds tonal versatility without requiring a pickup swap, letting you dial in different textures for leads or rhythm parts.
Is the neck-through construction worth the investment?
Neck-through design maximizes sustain and stability across the extended baritone range, which is critical for tunings as low as B standard. Combined with the three-piece maple neck and locking hardware, it ensures tuning stability and resonance for live and studio work alike.
What pickup configuration does it use?
The M-1000B pairs an EMG 81 bridge pickup for aggressive, defined attack with an EMG 60TW-R neck pickup offering punch with coil-split versatility. This combination is tailored for metal and progressive tones that cut through dense mixes and maintain articulation in heavy riffs.
What is the nut width and is it suitable for lower tunings?
The 42mm molded nut width provides adequate spacing for the extended baritone scale and lower-tuning string gauges. The compound-radius ebony fretboard (300-400mm) and extra-jumbo frets further support comfortable playing across drop tunings without string buzz or intonation issues.
