The ESP LTD Mick Thomson Signature MT-I in Black Satin is a brutally focused metal machine, built to the exacting standards of Slipknot’s riff master. With a single Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup, ultra-stable Hipshot hardware and a sleek MH-style body, this guitar is all about tight, crushing rhythm work, searing leads and rock-solid tuning stability on stage and in the studio.
Every detail of the MT-I has been chosen to withstand the demands of modern metal. Set-thru construction, a mahogany body with white ash top and a three-piece maple neck deliver massive sustain and clarity, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and compound radius make fast, technical playing feel effortless. Stainless steel frets, locking tuners and a high-mass hardtail bridge keep your setup precise and reliable, even under aggressive right-hand attack.
At the heart of the MT-I is Mick’s own Fishman Fluence Signature pickup, offering multiple voices that range from tight, percussive rhythm tones to thick, saturated leads and articulate cleans. With a low-profile three-way toggle and push/pull volume control to access a third voice, you can cover an entire set’s worth of sounds from a single, streamlined control layout.
Finished in a stealthy Black Satin with an inline reverse headstock and blue Luminlay side markers, the MT-I looks as menacing as it sounds. If you need a no-compromise, high-gain workhorse that stays clear, tight and in tune under extreme conditions, this is built for you.
Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature Pickup
The MT-I is armed with a single Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup, voiced specifically for ultra-tight, high-gain performance. The low-profile three-way toggle lets you choose between Voice 1, Voice 1 with a bass boost shift and Voice 2, while the push/pull volume control engages Voice 3. That gives you a full palette of modern metal tones, from razor-sharp chugs to saturated leads and surprisingly usable cleans, all with low noise and consistent response.
Set-Thru Construction and Premium Tonewoods
Set-thru construction at a 25.5” scale length pairs a mahogany body and white ash top with a three-piece maple neck. This combination delivers a tight, punchy low end, clear mids and a cutting top end that keeps complex riffs and fast passages defined, even under heavy distortion. The set-thru design enhances sustain and upper-fret access, making it ideal for solos and extended-range riffing across the neck.
Fast, Durable Neck and Fingerboard
The Thin U neck profile, Macassar ebony fingerboard and 300-400mm compound radius create a fast, modern playing surface that feels comfortable for both rhythm and lead work. Twenty-four medium-jumbo stainless steel frets offer a smooth feel and exceptional durability, resisting wear from heavy string bending and low action setups. Blue Luminlay side markers ensure you can see your position clearly on dark stages.
Rock-Solid Hipshot Hardware
Stability is guaranteed with Hipshot Grip-Lock open-gear locking tuners and an all-brass Hipshot Ibby HM Hi-Mass hardtail bridge with string-through-body design. The Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut further improves tuning stability and consistency. Together, this hardware package keeps your tuning locked in and maximises sustain and note definition, even with aggressive picking and frequent string changes.
