Description
ESP LTD MK-EC-FR Millie Petrozza Guitar Black Satin B-Stock
The MK-EC-FR delivers neck-thru sustain and a thin U-shaped maple neck engineered to cut through dense mixes with surgical clarity—built for heavy downtuned riffing and aggressive session work without compromising playability or comfort. Designed for Mille Petrozza of Kreator, this signature model pairs a flat-top alder body with a waist cut for ergonomic upper-fret access and a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo system that maintains pitch stability through extended takes and dynamic performance. The all-black hardware and satin finish deliver a professional, grounded aesthetic that translates across recording environments.
Recording & Build
The neck-thru construction with 25.5" scale maximizes sustain and harmonic complexity while accommodating lower tunings prevalent in heavy and experimental tracking. A three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck paired with a Macassar ebony fingerboard featuring 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side markers ensures smooth, consistent finger movement across sessions and clear visibility in studio lighting conditions.
Tone & Electronics
Direct-mount EMG 81X (bridge) and EMG 85X (neck) active humbuckers capture a dynamic range spanning transparent cleans to saturated metal tones with definition and separation in the mix. The Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws and Grover tuners lock in pitch stability throughout recording sessions and multi-take overdub work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this guitar has been fully inspected and tested and plays and sounds identical to new. It carries only minor cosmetic imperfections—no impact to playability, tone, or functionality.
Is this guitar suitable for drop tunings and lower tunings?
Yes. The 25.5" scale length, neck-thru construction, and stiff maple neck are specifically designed to maintain sustain and clarity in aggressive downtunings typical of thrash and metal. The Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo maintains tuning stability even during extreme playing.
What pickups are in this guitar and what tones do they deliver?
It features direct-mount EMG 81X (bridge) and EMG 85X (neck) active humbuckers. These pickups deliver high-output aggression and blistering metal tones with articulate cleans and dynamic range, ideal for both rhythmic precision and lead clarity.
How does the neck feel and what are the frets like?
The three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck with a 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard enables fast, smooth movement across the fretboard. Extra-jumbo stainless steel frets and Luminlay glow-in-the-dark side markers provide clear visibility and aggressive playability in any light condition.
How does this compare to other metal guitars in its class?
The neck-thru construction and EMG active electronics place it alongside the Schecter Hellraiser C-1 and Ibanez RG Prestige. Its 25.5" scale and Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo make it particularly strong for extended lower tunings and tuning stability during live or studio work.
