ESP LTD M-1 CTM '87 Lefty Guitar Metallic Gold

The neck-thru construction and extra thin U-shaped maple neck deliver exceptional comfort and responsiveness for extended playing sessions, while the Metallic Gold finish with matching gold hardware commands immediate visual presence. Built specifically for left-handed players, this instrument balances classic aesthetics with modern performance capabilities across a range of musical styles.

Playability & Feel

The 25.5" scale length and 13.7" radius fingerboard provide balanced tension and fast playability, while 24 extra jumbo frets expand soloing range and facilitate contemporary techniques. The 1.692" nut width and extra thin U-shaped neck profile combine to reduce fatigue and enable fluid passage work.

Tone & Electronics

A Seymour Duncan TB-6 Distortion pickup delivers aggressive output suitable for driving amplifiers hard, with a push-pull control for coil splitting that adds single-coil versatility. The EMG PA-2 boost switch provides additional output control, while the Floyd Rose 1000 bridge enables precise intonation and extreme whammy bar techniques without tuning drift.
