Never Go Out of Tune: Precision Performance Meets Shred Ready Tone
The ESP LTD Deluxe MH-1000ET in Charcoal is a high-performance machine built for gigging musicians, recording artists, and players who demand absolute tuning stability and uncompromising tone. Combining ESP's versatile Horizon/Mirage body styling with cutting-edge hardware, this guitar is designed to handle demanding stage performaces and precise studio sessions.
What is the EverTune Bridge and How Does It Work?
The centerpiece of the MH-1000ET is the revolutionary EverTune Constant Tension Bridge. Unlike traditional hardtail or tremolo bridges, EverTune is an all-mechanical system that uses internal spring-and-lever modules to maintain perfectly constant tension on every individual string.
- In-Tune, All the Time: Temperature swings, humidity changes, aggressive bend attacks, and hard picking will not force your strings out of tune.
- Perfect Intonation Across the Fretboard: Adjust each saddle once, and every chord or lead line remains perfectly in pitch from the nut to the 24th fret.
- Customizable Bending Zones: You can calibrate the saddles to allow natural string bending just like a standard bridge, or set them to lock pitch completely solid for tracking rhythm tracks in the studio.
Boutique Specs & Premium Construction:
- Set-Thru Neck Construction: Features a mahogany body with a maple cap mated to a 3-piece maple neck with a thin-U profile, providing seamless upper-fret access and incredible sustain.
- Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers: Equipped with an Alnico pickup in the neck and a Ceramic pickup in the bridge. Use the push-pull tone control to switch between high-output active punch and articulate passive-style response.
- Macassar Ebony Fingerboard: 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets mounted on a smooth, dark Macassar ebony board with offset block inlays and full neck/headstock binding.
- Black Hardware & Slick Aesthetic: Finished in a stunning Charcoal satin style, accented with black hardware, LTD locking tuners, and a compensated nut.
