ESP LTD MH-1000B Baritone Guitar Black Satin B-Stock

The MH-1000B is a professional-grade baritone platform engineered for extended-range aggression and harmonic precision in modern heavy music. Built with neck-thru construction and active EMG electronics, this guitar delivers the low-end authority and sustain demanded by metal and progressive players working in drop tunings. This B-Stock unit is fully functional with only minor cosmetic imperfections—a genuine opportunity to own a stage-ready instrument at a reduced price.

Electronics & Tone

EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60TW-R neck pickups with coil splitting provide articulate aggression across extended ranges, while active circuitry ensures consistency and punch independent of cable or amp impedance. The push/pull tone control splits the neck pickup on demand, expanding tonal range from crushing rhythm textures to articulate lead work without sacrificing the low-end authority that defines the baritone platform.

Playability & Construction

The 27" baritone scale optimizes string tension and response for lower tunings, while neck-thru construction anchors the instrument with maximum sustain and resonance across the entire range. An extra-thin U-contoured 3-piece maple neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard and 300–400mm compound radius accommodates both flat lead lines and aggressive chording, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets reward speed and precision without dead spots.
