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

The MH-1000B delivers the extended low-end response and neck stability demanded by modern metal and progressive players. Its 27" baritone scale maintains excellent string tension across lower tunings while the neck-thru construction ensures consistent sustain and resonance under heavy playing. The Extra Thin U maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard provide fast, comfortable playability for precision work and speed passages.

Playability & Construction

Built with a mahogany body and maple cap paired to a 3-piece maple neck, this instrument combines structural integrity with tonal depth. The 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius, 24 XJ stainless steel frets, and 42mm molded nut work together to deliver smooth action and fast transitions across the entire neck. Neck-thru construction maximizes sustain and eliminates the tonal coloration of bolt-on designs.

Tone & Electronics

The EMG 81 bridge pickup delivers articulate, high-output metal tones with excellent note definition, while the EMG 60TW-R neck pickup provides warmth and versatility with an integrated pull-to-split coil function for clean textures. Active electronics with volume, tone (push/pull), and 3-way switch give you precise control across a wide tonal palette. The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru construction and LTD locking tuners guarantee rock-solid tuning stability, even during aggressive performances.
