Description
Sound & Tone
The alder body and bolt-on maple neck give this M-1001 a tight, focused attack, while the Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker with ceramic construction adds punchy low end, articulate midrange and long sustain that stays clear under high gain. The 25.5" scale and macassar ebony fingerboard keep note definition crisp for fast riffing and extended-range chording, and the push-pull voice selector shifts between active humbucker voicings for cleaner or more aggressive textures without extra pedals. With a Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo and locking nut holding pitch through dive bombs, it suits metal, hard rock and technical lead playing.
ESP LTD Deluxe M-1001 Guitar Charcoal Metallic Satin
The M-1001 Deluxe is engineered for studio tracking and live performance with refined ergonomics and balanced weight that enable extended takes without fatigue, featuring a smooth satin finish and extra-thin u-shaped neck that sits naturally in hand. This instrument pairs a resonant flat-top alder body with precision hardware and well-engineered geometry for effortless fretboard access across a wide range of playing techniques. The combination of active electronics and locking hardware ensures reliable tuning stability and consistent tonal response, session after session.
Playability & Build Quality for Recording
The 3-piece maple neck with satin finish and extra-thin u-shaped profile minimizes hand fatigue during long recording sessions, while the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets with offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays provide visibility and comfortable playing action. A 25.5" scale and 43mm locking nut deliver precise intonation and tuning stability, supported by Grover tuners and the Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo for reliable pitch retention through multiple takes.
Tone & Active Electronics
The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker with active circuitry and ceramic construction captures punchy attack with articulate midrange clarity and excellent sustain, translating well to both direct recording and amplified sessions. A push-pull volume control enables real-time voice selection without stopping the take, offering tonal flexibility across different song sections and mix requirements.
