ESP Ltd M-1000HT Electric Guitar w/ Fishmans in Burled Poplar Black Fade
Guitars in the LTD 1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks and quality that working professional musicians require in an instrument. The LTD M Series has always been guitar designed for shredders, and one of the best examples ever is found with the fast and extremely playable M-1000HT and the seven-string M-1007HT. With neck-thru-body construction and an extra thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck (that features a natural satin finish on the back for supreme speedy playability), the M-1000HT and M-1007HT are perfect for players who want M Series performance with the stability of a Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru-body design. You also get excellent tone and sonic flexibility with direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers (Alnico in the neck position, Ceramic in the bridge), with a push-pull control to activate the second voicing.

I love everything about this guitar. The only complaint I have is that I find myself always accidentally turning my volume knob down. I’ve been working on not attacking as hard and that helps. The fishmans are great too!

I’ve owned plenty of ESP, E-II’s and LTD’s and this guitar is easily one of the best I’ve had, the fishman fluences sound huge and the extra thin u neck is beyond comfortable. I’d easily buy a second if I somehow had to let this one go

I have played the guitar for over 40 years and this guitar plays as good or better than all of my other guitars. I have Fenders Gibsons Jacksons and this guitar is my new favorite. It is going to be my new go to guitar. The neck is awesome just feels so good in your hands and I fell in love with the Fishmen pickups. I recommend

Overall:Guitar is surprisingly high quality. Compared to my other super strat (Caparison JSM) this guitar holds up just fine against a guitar worth twice as much and has a much better head to body balance. It JUST Sits right. The setup is perfect straight out of the factory box with incredible low action and no buzz.Fishman moderns pickups are bad ass..but just a little too generic and sharp for me. Im going to switch to the fishman open core(much more natural character).Finish looks damn sexy in person too.DAMN! If i knew THIS quality was being put out by LTD i would never have pulled the trigger on the CAPARISON and saved Thousands.Gonna keep an eye out on ltd 1000 series from now on.
This guitar delivers a very punchy and tight tone. Active pick ups are much different than passive but in a good way. If you are into thrash metal, then this is perfect. I play through a 6505+ and a Mesa 2x12 cabinet and it is awesome! The guitar allows for a very low string action and the neck is super smooth and slim. The finish is beautiful too. Probably the coolest looking guitar Ive ever seen.
This thing is an absolute beut of an axe. Very well constructed, as all ESPs I have owned are. You cannot go wrong with a 1000-deluxe series - they are darn near the quality of my E2. Thin-super fast neck that is unpolished maple plays like a dream and will really carry me forward in my quest for speed shredding. The fishmans are great-i am an emg81 for life guy (for hi gain stuff) but these fishmans put up a darn good fight. They are more colourful and have much more versatility (better cleans too) than the emg81 but for straight 1 to 1 high gain - the fishmans are ever so slightly thinner. It is not a race though - both of them deserver a place in my arsenal. Lets talk about that stunning Black Fade finish on it - it is just beautiful and each m1000ht looks unique ... MoreThis thing is an absolute beut of an axe.

Lets talk about that stunning Black Fade finish on it - it is just beautiful and each m1000ht looks unique as the wood grain is never the same. Couldn't give more of a recommendation for this guitar. I got the last of the 2020s - ESP states they will produce more of these which they should - as their 21 models have stainless steel frets and that is the only other thing i could ever need on here (but not at all a big deal these frets are great)
Guitar is even better than its description, it plaus like a dream.
