Description
The ESP LTD MH-1000NT Granite Sparkle is a sleek, modern metal machine built for players who demand crushing tones, fast playability and rock-solid tuning stability. With its set-thru construction, stainless steel frets and cutting-edge Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, it is designed to handle everything from tight, technical riffing to fluid, expressive leads, all wrapped up in a striking Granite Sparkle finish.
Combining a mahogany body with a three-piece maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard, the MH-1000NT delivers a tight, focused response with plenty of punch and sustain. The extra thin U neck profile and compound radius board make complex chords, wide bends and rapid-fire runs feel effortless, while the TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design keeps things stable under heavy picking and low tunings.
At the heart of this guitar are the Fishman Fluence Modern 3-voice pickups, offering multiple distinct voices at the pull of a knob. From aggressive, high-output metal tones to more open, dynamic sounds, you can quickly tailor your sound to suit any style or mix. Add in LTD locking tuners, jumbo stainless steel frets and bold MOP block inlays, and you have a professional-spec instrument that is ready for the stage or studio straight out of the box.
Visually, the Granite Sparkle finish and matching headstock give the MH-1000NT a standout look under stage lights, perfectly complementing its high-performance spec. If you are looking for a no-nonsense, fixed-bridge shred guitar that can cover modern metal, hard rock and beyond with ease, the ESP LTD MH-1000NT Granite Sparkle is a serious contender.
Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Pickups
The MH-1000NT is loaded with a Fishman Alnico Modern in the neck and a Fishman Ceramic Modern in the bridge, both in black nickel. Each pickup offers three distinct voices, accessed via the push/pull volume and tone controls, giving you everything from tight, saturated metal tones to more open, dynamic sounds without changing guitars or pedals.
Fast Extra Thin U Neck and Compound Radius Fingerboard
The three-piece maple neck with extra thin U profile and 300-400 mm compound radius Macassar ebony fingerboard is built for speed and comfort. It stays slim and fast for shredding in the lower positions, while the flatter upper register makes big bends and precise lead work feel controlled and effortless.
Stainless Steel Frets and Set-Thru Construction
Twenty-four extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide a super-smooth feel, exceptional durability and consistent intonation, even with heavy string bending and frequent gigging. Combined with the set-thru neck construction, you get excellent upper-fret access and enhanced sustain across the entire fingerboard.
Granite Sparkle Finish and Rock-Solid Hardware
The bold Granite Sparkle finish with matching headstock ensures the MH-1000NT stands out on any stage. A TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design and LTD locking tuners deliver superb tuning stability and reliable performance, even under aggressive playing and repeated string changes.
