Description
ESP LTD M-1000B Baritone Lefty Guitar — Black Satin
The M-1000B Baritone Lefty delivers commanding low-end punch with clarity and aggression across metal, detuned rock, and experimental genres. The extended 27-inch baritone scale provides incredible sustain and note definition while maintaining tight, responsive string tension that rewards precise technique. The satin black finish sits comfortably in your hands during extended sessions, and the body contours balance equally well sitting or standing on stage.
Construction & Playability
Neck-thru-body construction with arched mahogany body and maple cap creates resonant sustain and solid structural integrity for reliable gigging. The extra-thin three-piece maple neck and compound radius Macassar ebony fingerboard combine fast playability with ergonomic comfort, while LTD locking tuners hold your tuning solid through aggressive play and alternate tunings without drift.
Tone & Electronics
EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60TW-R neck pickups with brushed black chrome covers deliver articulate, punchy tones with excellent clarity across the low-frequency spectrum. The coil-splitting via push-pull tone control expands your sonic palette from fat, compressed rhythms to brighter, more defined lead tones, while the TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design maximizes sustain and tonal transfer for consistent performance night to night.

Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this guitar suited for?
The M-1000B is built for intermediate through professional players who are comfortable with baritone scales, extended-range tunings, and precise technique. The extra-thin neck and tight string tension reward accurate fretting and picking, making it less forgiving for beginners but ideal for experienced metal and djent musicians.
What genres and tunings work best with this baritone?
This guitar excels in metal, djent, hard rock, and experimental music with drop tunings and extended range. It is not well-suited for jazz, folk, or traditional country due to its aggressive tone profile and baritone design.
How does the coil-splitting feature expand the tone?
The push-pull tone control enables coil-splitting on the pickups, letting you switch from fat, compressed rhythm tones to brighter, more defined lead sounds without swapping instruments or changing pickups.
Why is the 27-inch baritone scale important?
The extended 27-inch scale provides incredible sustain, note definition, and tight, responsive string tension that is essential for clear articulation in low tunings and heavy play styles. It also allows detuned notes to remain punchy and articulate rather than muddy.
How does the neck-thru-body construction affect playability and tone?
Neck-thru-body design with arched mahogany body and maple cap creates resonant sustain and solid structural integrity while offering unrestricted upper-fret access. The construction combined with the extra-thin three-piece maple neck delivers both fast playability and enhanced tonal transfer through the instrument.
