ESP LTD M-HT Black Metal Guitar B-Stock

Dark, aggressive 6-string with brutal tonal power

The ESP LTD M-HT Black Metal is a menacing 6-string hardtail guitar designed for modern metal players. Part of the LTD Black Metal Series, it combines the build quality of the LTD Deluxe 1000 Series with a dark aesthetic—black satin finish, black hardware, Macassar ebony fingerboard with no inlays, glow-in-the-dark side markers, and a black metal LTD logo on the headstock. With a 25.5” scale and neck-thru construction using a three-piece extra-thin U-shaped maple neck and alder body, it delivers excellent sustain and smooth playability. A Hipshot bridge with string-thru-body setup ensures tuning stability and resonance, while the single direct-mounted Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter pickup with push-pull coil split delivers aggressive, dynamic tones for metal and heavy rock styles.

Why It Stands Out

The ESP LTD M-HT Black Metal combines professional-grade hardware, a 6-string scale, and dark, aggressive styling for metal and heavy rock players. Its single Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter pickup delivers brutal tones with coil-splitting versatility, while the neck-thru construction, Hipshot bridge, and locking tuners provide unmatched stability, sustain, and precision. The black satin finish and inlay-free ebony fingerboard create a stark, commanding stage presence.
