Sound & Tone
The 27" baritone scale and heavy .013–.062 strings keep low tunings tight and defined, while the mahogany body with maple cap and neck-thru construction add depth and long, even sustain. The EMG 81 at the bridge gives tight, high-output attack with clear note separation for fast riffing and precise palm-muted work, and the EMG 60TW-R neck pickup adds warmth for leads, with its coil split thinning things out for cleaner passages. It leans firmly toward modern metal and progressive playing, where downtuned clarity and stable, articulate low end matter most.
ESP LTD MH-1000B Baritone Guitar Black Satin B-Stock
The MH-1000B is engineered to capture extended low-end definition and maintain neck stability across aggressive downtunings in the studio. Its 27" baritone scale keeps string tension controlled and predictable through drop-D territory and beyond, while neck-thru construction delivers the sustain and resonance needed for layered riff tracking and precision rhythm work. The Extra Thin U maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard enable fast, accurate voicing—critical for session work and punch-in recordings.
Recording Design & Build
The combination of mahogany body with maple cap and 3-piece maple neck creates a tonal foundation with natural clarity and defined low-mid presence ideal for heavy mix balancing. The 300-400mm compound fingerboard radius, 24 XJ stainless steel frets, and 42mm molded nut ensure consistent intonation across takes and minimize unwanted finger noise during tracking. Neck-thru construction maximizes sustain consistency—a crucial advantage when recording layered guitars or matching tone between multiple takes.
Tone Shaping & Signal Path
The EMG 81 bridge pickup captures articulate, high-output attack with excellent note separation—essential for cutting through dense mixes without muddiness. The EMG 60TW-R neck pickup introduces harmonic warmth and textural options, with an integrated pull-to-split coil function for cleaner, more compressed textures on rhythm passes. Active electronics including volume, tone (push/pull), and 3-way switch provide real-time tonal sculpting during sessions without rerecording. The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru construction and LTD locking tuners guarantee tuning hold across long session days and multiple overdub passes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional and covered by ESP's warranty, but carries minor cosmetic blemishes from warehouse handling. It is a professional-grade baritone offered at a significant discount.
What tunings and playing styles is this baritone best suited for?
The 27" baritone scale and EMG 81/60TW-R electronics are optimized for metal, progressive, and drop-tuning styles that demand extended lower ranges, aggressive high-output tones, and rock-solid string tension. It is not recommended for jazz, folk, or country.
How does the neck-thru construction affect tone and sustain?
Neck-thru construction pairs the 3-piece maple neck directly to the mahogany body with maple cap, maximizing sustain and eliminating the tonal coloration of bolt-on designs. This also provides excellent structural stability for aggressive play.
What pickup configuration does it have, and can I shape the tone?
The MH-1000B features an EMG 81 bridge pickup (articulate, high-output attack) and EMG 60TW-R neck pickup (warm, versatile textures) with coil split. Active electronics include volume, a push/pull tone control, and a 3-way switch for precise tonal control.
Will the tuning stay locked during heavy palm-muting and aggressive play?
Yes. The TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru construction, combined with LTD locking tuners, guarantees rock-solid tuning stability even under aggressive play and extended lower tunings.
