ESP LTD MK-EC-FR Millie Petrozza Guitar Black Satin B-Stock
Description
ESP LTD MK-EC-FR Millie Petrozza Guitar Black Satin B-Stock
The MK-EC-FR is built for players who demand neck-thru sustain and a thin U-shaped maple neck that cuts through live mix with surgical precision—the instrument of choice for aggressive riffing and downtuning without sacrificing playability or comfort. Designed for Mille Petrozza of Kreator, this signature model pairs a flat-top alder body with a waist cut for ergonomic upper-fret access and a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo system that locks down every bend and dive without drift. The all-black hardware and satin finish project a menacing stage presence that matches its tonal capabilities on stage.
Playability & Build
The neck-thru construction with 25.5" scale maximizes sustain while accommodating lower tunings typical of thrash and heavy metal—a player's advantage when touring or performing nightly. A three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck paired with a Macassar ebony fingerboard featuring 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side markers ensures smooth, fast movement across the neck and clear visibility during low-light stage sets, keeping your playing accurate when it counts.
Tone & Electronics
Direct-mount EMG 81X (bridge) and EMG 85X (neck) active humbuckers deliver the dynamic range you need—organic cleans to blistering metal tones with clarity and articulation that projects through any venue. The Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws and Grover tuners maintain rock-solid tuning stability through aggressive playing and extended gigging, keeping your instrument reliable night after night.
