ESP LTD MH-1000ET Evertune Guitar Charcoal Burst
Description
ESP LTD MH-1000ET Evertune Guitar in Charcoal Burst
The MH-1000ET is built for gigging players and studio professionals who demand rock-solid intonation and consistent feel night after night. Its extra-thin-U neck contour and set-thru construction create a fast, responsive platform for technical work and extended sets, while the Evertune bridge keeps you perfectly in tune across all positions—no tuning drift between songs or even mid-song bends. Dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers punch through a live mix with crystalline high-end clarity and aggressive low-end punch, making this instrument a reliable choice for metal, hard rock, progressive, and studio tracking.
Playability & Build Quality
The 3-piece maple neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard and 24 XJ stainless steel frets deliver fast, smooth playability that feels broken in from day one, with excellent durability through the rigors of touring and session work. A 25.5" scale with 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius balances familiar string tension with modern feel, while the 42mm nut width provides precise string spacing without cramping your hand. Set-thru construction locks the neck to the body for superior sustain and stability through bent notes and aggressive picking.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers—alnico in the neck position and ceramic in the bridge—deliver articulate, high-definition output that cuts through a mix with clarity and punch. Active electronics with volume, tone (push/pull), and 3-way switch give you total control over your voice without noise or unwanted coloration. The Evertune F-model bridge with nickel saddles locks intonation and maximizes harmonic clarity for pinpoint accuracy on every note, while Grover tuners and black and nickel hardware ensure reliable, stable operation gig after gig.
