. Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with maple cap and set-thru construction gives a warm midrange foundation with long sustain, while the 25.5" scale and string-thru TonePros bridge add tightness and attack, and the Macassar ebony board keeps note definition crisp. The active Fishman humbuckers push a modern voice — the ceramic bridge unit cutting and aggressive, the alnico neck fuller and more vocal — with three voicings per pickup for shifting between high-gain rhythm bite and clearer lead or clean tones. Paired with the extra-thin neck and 24 stainless frets, it suits modern metal, progressive rock, and technical lead playing where fast runs and articulate high-gain response matter most.
ESP LTD MH-1000NT BB Electric Guitar — Black Satin with Bold Binding
The MH-1000NT BB is built for players who spend serious time on stage or in the studio. Set-thru construction pairs with an extra-thin U-contoured neck that feels natural in the hand, while active Fishman electronics give you the tonal range to handle any gig. This B-stock unit combines premium hardware and responsive electronics—no compromise on playability or reliability.
Playability & Feel
The extra-thin U neck contour paired with a 42mm molded nut and 24 stainless steel XJ frets lets you move fast across the fingerboard with minimal resistance, critical for technical passages and extended reach during long sets. Set-thru construction with a mahogany body and maple cap locks in solid sustain and body resonance that projects on stage, while the 300–400mm compound fingerboard radius balances comfort across the entire neck without dead zones.
Tone & Electronics
A Fishman Alnico Modern Humbucker (neck) and Fishman Ceramic Modern Humbucker (bridge)—both 3-voice designs with brushed stainless covers—deliver articulate, responsive tones that cut through a mix and stay tight in the pocket. Active electronics give you hands-on control with volume, tone (push/pull), and 3-way switching to dial in everything from clean articulation to driven authority. The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design holds tuning rock-solid through a full set and channels every note directly into the body resonance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will it affect my playing?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections only—no impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. You get the same professional-grade construction and active electronics as a new unit at a significant discount.
Is this guitar good for metal and progressive styles?
Yes. The tight, articulate Fishman humbuckers, extra-thin fast neck, 25.5-inch scale, and active voice switching make it purpose-built for metal, djent, progressive, and hard rock. The bridge's string-thru-body design locks in tuning stability and direct tonal response for high-gain applications.
How does the 3-voice switching on the pickups work?
Each Fishman humbucker offers three voice options controlled via the active electronics—letting you dial in different tonal characters from the same pickup without swapping hardware. This gives you wide tonal range in a single instrument.
What's included with the guitar?
The MH-1000NT comes with D'Addario XL120 strings (.009–.042 gauge), locking tuners, and LTD locking hardware for tuning stability. The set-thru mahogany body with maple cap and macassar ebony fingerboard are already installed and ready to play.
How does the neck feel, and is it suitable for technical playing?
The extra-thin U contour, 42mm molded nut, 24 stainless steel frets, and 300–400mm compound radius fingerboard create a low-friction, responsive neck ideal for fast technical work and extended reach across the fretboard.
