ESP

collapse expand iconDescription

ESP first developed a global reputation in the mid-1980s with their sleek, fast, stripped-down guitars that were born the shred. The LTD ’87 Series are faithful recreations of this set of instruments from ESP’s 1987 catalog. The LTD M-1 Custom ’87, based on the legendary original ESP M-1 model, offers neck-thru body construction for fast access to the highest frets. Its comfortable alder body and three-piece extra thin U-shaped maple neck are designed for speed and smooth playability. The M-1 Custom ’87 features a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge without a recess route and a single Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6 pickup with a push-pull control for coil splitting, and an EMG PA-2 boost switch for when you need that extra push of raw power.

    Excellent attention to detail. Floyd Rose 1000 works well. EMG Preamp is a really nice touch. A far better deal than "USA" Jacksons at three times the price. Very solid for gigs. Comes with a good setup.
