ESP LTD MH-1000NT GRANITE SPARKLE guitar
Description
ESP LTD MH-1000ET Evertune Charcoal Burst B-Stock
The MH-1000ET captures articulate, controlled tones through its set-thru mahogany construction and razor-sharp neck profile, making it ideal for layering high-gain sources in the mix. This guitar's substantial body mass translates to focused sustain and tight note definition—essential for precision tuning and maintaining clarity in dense arrangements. Combine that with Fishman's active pickup system and the Evertune F-model bridge, and you get a recording platform that holds tuning stability across aggressive bending, drop tunings, and multiple takes without drift. B-stock pricing reflects minor cosmetic blemishes—the playability and electronics are uncompromised.
Recording Tone & Sustain
Set-thru mahogany body with flamed maple top ensures tonal density and sustain through its neck joint design, capturing punchy transients and extended decay ideal for both rhythm tracking and lead overdubs. The Evertune F-model bridge with Nickel saddles automatically compensates for string tension fluctuations, keeping the guitar perfectly in tune even under aggressive playing and tuning variations—a significant advantage for drop tunings and extreme bend work. In the studio, this means faster comp takes and cleaner punch-in sessions without re-tuning between passes.
Session Versatility & Playability
The 3-piece maple neck with Extra-thin-U contour and 24 XJ stainless steel frets on a 25.5" scale provides fast access to upper frets and superior fret durability for both rhythm work and technical lead passages. Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers (Alnico neck, Ceramic bridge) with active electronics deliver three voicing options via push-pull control, giving producers and engineers immediate tonal flexibility without swapping guitars—warm, vintage-styled rhythm tones from the neck position and aggressive, articulate modern lead textures from the bridge, all captured in a single session.
