Description
ESP LTD MK-EC-FR Millie Petrozza Guitar Black Satin
The MK-EC-FR delivers a thin U-shaped neck profile designed for speed and comfort, with a waist cut in the body for seamless upper-fret access. Neck-thru construction ensures exceptional sustain and stability, while the 25.5" scale provides reliable string tension for aggressive playing styles. This signature model built for Kreator's Millie Petrozza combines precision engineering with the demanding requirements of modern metal performance.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets deliver a snappy, responsive playing surface that handles rapid transitions and vigorous bending without compromise. A locking nut with 42mm width maintains tuning stability through extreme tremolo manipulation, while the thin U-shaped neck contour facilitates fluid movements and high-speed passages typical of thrash and heavy metal.
Tone & Electronics
Direct-mount EMG 85X (neck) and EMG 81X (bridge) active pickups generate high-output aggression with crisp articulation for complex riffing and solos. The Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo maintains precise intonation during extreme pitch manipulation, while the alder body with black binding contributes balanced tonal clarity with upper midrange emphasis essential for articulate metal tones.
