Built to the uncompromising standards of Slipknot’s Mick Thomson, the ESP LTD MT-I is a precision-crafted metal machine designed for crushing tone, absolute stability, and stage-ready performance. With its stealthy Black Satin finish and stripped-down control layout, this signature model is all about power, control, and relentless riffing.

At its foundation is a resonant mahogany body topped with white ash, delivering a tight low-end punch, aggressive midrange, and crisp articulation. The set-thru construction enhances sustain while allowing smooth access across all 24 frets, making it ideal for both crushing rhythm work and fluid lead playing.

The 3-piece maple neck is carved into a Thin “U” profile and paired with a Macassar ebony fingerboard featuring a 300–400mm compound radius. This combination provides a fast, comfortable feel for both chording and high-speed technical playing. Outfitted with 24 medium jumbo stainless steel frets, the MT-I offers exceptional durability and a slick, responsive playing surface.

At the heart of the MT-I is the Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup, engineered specifically for his signature tone. This versatile system offers multiple voicings, including aggressive modern tones, a bass-shifted variation for added depth, and a dynamic third voice accessible via push/pull control. Whether you're dialing in tight, percussive rhythm tones or saturated leads, this pickup delivers clarity and impact at any gain level.

The Hipshot Ibby HM bridge with string-thru-body design ensures maximum resonance and rock-solid tuning stability, while Hipshot Grip-Lock open gear tuners provide precise and reliable tuning. Premium appointments like Gotoh locking strap buttons and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut round out a build focused on performance and reliability.

Finished in understated Black Satin with black hardware, the MT-I embodies a no-nonsense aesthetic that perfectly matches its sonic brutality.
