ESP LTD MH-1000NT FM Electric Guitar Charcoal Burst B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD MH-1000NT FM Electric Guitar Charcoal Burst
The MH-1000NT FM combines set-thru construction with an extra-thin U-contoured neck that rewards speed and precision across its 24 stainless steel frets. The mahogany body paired with a flamed maple top delivers both visual presence and tonal versatility, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with compound radius ensures fluid playability from open position to the highest frets. Built for touring and session work, this is a modern workhorse that handles multiple genres and stage demands without compromise.
Playability & Feel
The extra-thin U neck profile and 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius eliminate compromise between fast single-note work and smooth bending. The 42mm molded nut and set-thru construction grant unrestricted access to upper frets while maintaining structural integrity and sustain, making this guitar equally comfortable for intricate lead passages and aggressive rhythm playing. On stage or in the studio, the neck stays responsive and stable night after night.
Tone & Electronics
Dual Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—Alnico magnets in the neck, Ceramic in the bridge—deliver articulate cleans and saturated distortion with genuine harmonic depth. Both pickups feature pull-tone functionality for Voice 2, and the active electronics layout (volume, tone with push/pull, 3-way switch) gives you comprehensive control over your sonic palette without unnecessary complexity. The pickup voicing responds predictably under live conditions and translates consistently from rehearsal to front-of-house.
