ESP LTD M-1000B Baritone Guitar – Black Satin
The M-1000B captures the extended range and tonal depth essential for modern recording sessions in metal, progressive rock, and experimental genres. Its neck-through construction and extra-thin maple neck create a responsive, stable platform for tracking complex performances across the instrument's full 27" baritone scale, while the compound radius ebony fingerboard accommodates both speed work and lower-register chord voicings with equal ease in the mix.
Playability & Construction
Neck-through-body design ensures superior sustain and stability—critical for layering heavy riffs and achieving tight articulation during tracking. The three-piece maple neck with extra-thin U contour reduces hand fatigue during extended studio sessions. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features a 300-400mm compound radius and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, enabling precise intonation across tunings as low as B standard without compromising playability or tone consistency across takes.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60TW-R neck pickup with brushed black chrome covers deliver the aggressive articulation and controlled sustain needed for heavy riffing and lead recordings, with the neck pickup's push-pull coil-split control adding single-coil tonal options for session versatility. The mahogany body with maple cap reinforces midrange punch and sustain across the extended baritone range, sitting naturally in dense mixes without losing definition.

Frequently Asked Questions
What tuning range does the M-1000B handle?
The 27-inch baritone scale is designed for tunings as low as B standard (B-E-A-D-F#-B) without intonation or playability loss. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and compound-radius ebony fingerboard support both low-register chord voicings and speed work across this extended range.
How does the coil-split feature work?
The EMG 60TW-R neck pickup includes a push-pull coil-split control that lets you switch from humbucker mode to single-coil voicing. This adds tonal versatility without requiring a pickup swap, letting you dial in different textures for leads or rhythm parts.
Is the neck-through construction worth the investment?
Neck-through design maximizes sustain and stability across the extended baritone range, which is critical for tunings as low as B standard. Combined with the three-piece maple neck and locking hardware, it ensures tuning stability and resonance for live and studio work alike.
What pickup configuration does it use?
The M-1000B pairs an EMG 81 bridge pickup for aggressive, defined attack with an EMG 60TW-R neck pickup offering punch with coil-split versatility. This combination is tailored for metal and progressive tones that cut through dense mixes and maintain articulation in heavy riffs.
What is the nut width and is it suitable for lower tunings?
The 42mm molded nut width provides adequate spacing for the extended baritone scale and lower-tuning string gauges. The compound-radius ebony fretboard (300-400mm) and extra-jumbo frets further support comfortable playing across drop tunings without string buzz or intonation issues.
