ESP LTD M-1001 Lefty Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin

ESP LTD engineered the M-1001 Lefty as a purpose-built platform for left-handed players demanding professional-grade hardware and active electronics without compromise. The extra-thin U-shaped maple neck and satin-backed finish deliver natural comfort during extended sessions, while the Charcoal Metallic Satin aesthetic pairs refined restraint with the reverse headstock design. This is a serious instrument for players who prioritize speed, precision, and tonal versatility.

Construction & Hardware

The guitar features a 3-piece maple neck with bolt-on construction and an alder body with flat-top design. The 25.5" scale length and 43mm locking nut ensure stable tuning and quick string changes, while 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a 300–400mm compound fingerboard radius support fast, precise fingerwork. Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo with gold hardware and Grover tuners maintain pitch stability through aggressive playing techniques and extended tremolo work.

Electronics & Playability

The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker Ceramic Gold active pickup delivers articulate, high-output tones with push/pull voice selection via a single volume control, enabling quick tonal shaping without additional knobs. The bound Macassar ebony fingerboard with offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays provides both ergonomic comfort and visual distinction, while the satin-backed neck resists hand fatigue during studio work or gigging.
