The ESP LTD M-Black is engineered for aggressive metal performance with a razor-thin neck profile and neck-thru construction that delivers locked-in responsiveness and precision feel. This B-stock unit carries factory cosmetic imperfections on the black satin finish but maintains full structural integrity and tonal character at a significant discount. Built with professional-grade hardware and electronics, it rewards fast lead work and expressive technique without compromise.
Playability & FeelThe extra-thin U-contour neck paired with a 43mm locking nut width and 350mm fingerboard radius creates a moderately flat playing surface built for speed and bending precision. Twenty-four XJ frets on Macassar ebony provide excellent fret access and durability, while the 25.5" scale length maintains bright articulation and stable intonation across the entire fretboard.
Tone & ElectronicsA Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter bridge pickup delivers aggressive, articulate high-gain response with natural compression—the signature voicing for modern metal rigs. The Floyd Rose 1000 bridge system provides stable tuning and dive-bomb capability, while passive electronics with a single volume control keep the signal path clean and noise-free.
