ESP USA Custom Shop M-I M-1 NTB TOM NT 2021 - Lime burst marble swirl
International shipping is included in the price. I've shipped guitars all over North America, China, & Europe without any problems.
ESP M-Is are very hard to come by, fewer have passive instead of actives, and even fewer are built with a tune-o-matic rather than a Floyd. You have to wonder why they don't make more of these with fixed bridges since everyone keeps asking for them. I love Floyds more than anything but having a fixed bridge sure does have a different resonance to it.
This instrument was a limited edition for 2021. These are all hand painted by Ryan Dominguez (Shop Manager, Master painter, Product/Color Developer for ESP USA @spongebrick on IG). Really fun paint job. You really have to see it in person to believe it. I like how this has a passive PAF-style humbucker instead of the high output actives that ESP mostly leans towards. It's got the shape and silhouette of a metal machine but the paint job leans towards elegance & the tone is much more nuanced and articulate due to the lower output. Tried this guitar on every amp I could plug it into and it's impossible to make it sound bad.
This guitar has everything you want and nothing you don't:
- recessed tune-o-matic for enhanced comfort
- stainless steel frets
- smooth ebony board
- 3-ply quartersawn maple neck,
- reverse headstock with locking tuners
- 1 hum 1 vol (push/pull for coil split)
No scuffs, no dents, no dings, no scratches on the guitar. Even the plastic lining on the electronics cavity cover and the truss rod cover are still attached. Some scratches on pickup cover from string contact and wear on left side. The condition of the nickel cover is the only thing that prevents this guitar from being listed as mint condition. This guitar has been babied and protected all its life and spent most of its life in it's case. I play it often but never take it outside.
Specs on the COA, see photo. I am the first and only owner of this fine instrument.
Color is a little bit difficult to show accurately on my camera & lighting. The best way to describe it is an emerald green outer edge into a lime green center. The paint job has a slight glitter/sparkle to it, rather than being just a flat color.
Was featured on ESP's Instagram a few years ago, check out relevant screenshot, but that photo does not show the colors very well.
