ESP LTD M-1000HT Electric Guitar – Black Fade B-Stock
The M-1000HT delivers the speed and stability that working professionals demand, built around a neck-thru body with an extra thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck that feels fast and responsive under the hands. The satin-finished neck back eliminates friction during extended playing sessions, while the Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design provides rock-solid tuning stability and direct tonal coupling to the body. This is a purpose-built instrument for shredders and players who refuse compromise on playability or sustain.
Playability & Construction
Neck-thru construction paired with a 25.5" scale and 43mm molded nut ensures comfortable access across the fretboard. The 24 XJ stainless steel frets resist wear and maintain consistent action, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius supports both precise lead work and smooth rhythm playing. An alder body with burled poplar top is topped with a striking black fade finish, delivering professional aesthetics with substantial tonal character.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers (Alnico neck / Ceramic bridge) deliver versatile active electronics with genuine dual-voicing capability via the push/pull tone control—giving you two distinct sonic palettes from a single pickup set. The 3-way switch and volume/tone layout keep control intuitive and responsive during performance.
