Description
ESP LTD MH-1000ET Evertune Guitar Dark Brown Sunburst
The MH-1000ET is engineered for studio tracking and live performance stability. Its thin U-contoured neck and set-thru construction enable fast, fatigue-free tracking through extended takes, while the Evertune bridge maintains rock-solid tuning across sessions—eliminating the need to re-tune between punch-ins or during layered takes. This guitar captures aggressive high-gain tones with clarity and articulation, making it versatile across metal, hard rock, and precision lead recording applications.
Playability & Recording Comfort
Built around a 3-piece maple neck with a thin U contour, this guitar delivers fast access across its 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a Macassar ebony fingerboard. The set-thru construction combines with the 25.5" scale and 1.65" nut width to provide consistent response across the entire range, supporting both tight, controlled riffing and extended soloing without hand fatigue during marathon tracking sessions.
Tone & Recording Electronics
The EMG 60TW-R neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup combination delivers recording-ready versatility—from warm, articulate cleans that sit clearly in a mix to aggressive, punchy overdriven tones that cut through dense arrangements. The push-pull control to split the neck pickup provides quick tonal variation across multiple takes without reaching for your DAW, while the mahogany body with flamed maple cap and dark brown sunburst finish contribute natural resonance and midrange presence ideal for layered production work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect playability or sound?
B-Stock means this guitar has minor cosmetic imperfections from warehouse handling and does not meet new retail appearance standards, but the Evertune bridge, all electronics, frets, and hardware operate perfectly. Playability and tone are identical to a new unit, and the guitar retains full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this guitar good for metal and hard rock, or can it do other styles?
The MH-1000ET excels in hard rock, metal, and progressive playing, with the EMG 81 bridge pickup delivering aggressive, punchy overdriven tones and the EMG 60TW neck pickup providing warm, articulate cleans for lead work. It is not ideal for jazz or acoustic-focused styles, but the pickup split function allows flexible mid-session tonal shaping across studio and live contexts.
What makes the Evertune bridge different from a standard bridge?
The Evertune bridge maintains stable tuning under the demands of heavy playing, bending, and dynamics, so you can focus on expression rather than constantly retuning between songs or takes. This is especially valuable during live performances and back-to-back studio sessions.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
This guitar is designed for intermediate, advanced, and professional players who are comfortable with fast fingerboard work and aggressive playing styles. The thin U-contoured neck and 24 extra-jumbo frets require some technical proficiency to maximize the instrument's potential.
What pickups are included, and can I adjust the tone?
The guitar comes with an EMG 60TW-R neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup, paired with a push-pull control that splits the neck pickup for quick tonal shaping—ranging from warm cleans to punchy overdrive. It ships with D'Addario XL120 strings (.009/.042 gauge).
