ESP LTD MH-1000ET Evertune Guitar Dark Brown Sunburst B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD MH-1000ET Evertune Guitar Dark Brown Sunburst
The MH-1000ET is built for the stage and the practice room alike. Its thin U-contoured neck and set-thru construction grant you immediate access to the upper frets, while the standout Evertune bridge locks your tuning solid through demanding sets, drop tuning, aggressive bending, and everything in between. You stay focused on what matters—the performance—rather than chasing tuning stability. This guitar handles high-gain riffing and metal work with equal authority to articulate, expressive lead playing.
Playability & Feel
The 3-piece maple neck with a thin U contour sits fast and responsive in your hands, making quick work of the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets across a Macassar ebony fingerboard. Set-thru construction paired with the 25.5" scale and 1.65" nut width delivers consistent playability from bottom to top—tight riffing feels locked in, and extended soloing flows without hand fatigue or dead zones.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 60TW-R neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup pairing spans warm, defined cleans through aggressive, punchy overdriven character—everything a modern rock or metal player needs. The push-pull control to split the neck pickup gives you fast access to sonic shaping on the fly. The mahogany body with flamed maple cap and dark brown sunburst finish add natural resonance and midrange body that cuts through a mix.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect playability or sound?
B-Stock means this guitar has minor cosmetic imperfections from warehouse handling and does not meet new retail appearance standards, but the Evertune bridge, all electronics, frets, and hardware operate perfectly. Playability and tone are identical to a new unit, and the guitar retains full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this guitar good for metal and hard rock, or can it do other styles?
The MH-1000ET excels in hard rock, metal, and progressive playing, with the EMG 81 bridge pickup delivering aggressive, punchy overdriven tones and the EMG 60TW neck pickup providing warm, articulate cleans for lead work. It is not ideal for jazz or acoustic-focused styles, but the pickup split function allows flexible mid-session tonal shaping across studio and live contexts.
What makes the Evertune bridge different from a standard bridge?
The Evertune bridge maintains stable tuning under the demands of heavy playing, bending, and dynamics, so you can focus on expression rather than constantly retuning between songs or takes. This is especially valuable during live performances and back-to-back studio sessions.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
This guitar is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players who are comfortable with fast fingerboard work and aggressive playing styles. The thin U-contoured neck and 24 extra-jumbo frets require some technical proficiency to maximize the instrument's potential.
What pickups are included, and can I adjust the tone?
The guitar comes with an EMG 60TW-R neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup, paired with a push-pull control that splits the neck pickup for quick tonal shaping—ranging from warm cleans to punchy overdrive. It ships with D'Addario XL120 strings (.009/.042 gauge).
