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 does the M-1000B handle, and is it stable in drop tunings?
The M-1000B is a 27-inch baritone scale built for B-E-A-D-F#-B standard and drop tunings as low as B standard. Neck-through-body construction and locking tuners provide the stability and sustain required for extreme tuning work without compromise.
Does the neck have a coil-split option?
Yes. The neck pickup (EMG 60TW-R) features a push-pull coil-split control that adds single-coil tonal flexibility while the bridge pickup (EMG 81) stays in full humbucker mode for heavy articulation.
Who is this guitar best suited for?
This guitar is designed for intermediate to professional players working in metal, progressive rock, and djent—genres that demand extended tunings, precise intonation, and aggressive articulation. It is not recommended for jazz, folk, or country styles.
What makes the neck comfortable during long sessions?
The extra-thin U-contour maple neck paired with a 300–400mm compound radius ebony fingerboard reduces hand fatigue during extended playing. The thin profile and compound radius support both speed work and heavy lower-register voicings without strain.
How does the M-1000B compare to other baritones like the Schecter Hellraiser or Ibanez RGDIX?
The M-1000B combines neck-through sustain with a thinner, more ergonomic neck profile and a compound-radius fingerboard. It sits in the mid-tier price range while delivering professional-grade hardware (locking tuners, TonePros bridge) and EMG pickups favored in metal and prog recording.
