| Quality |
| Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? |
| Based on the fit and finish, it seems very well built, though I have only been using it for a month. |
|
| Reliability |
| How has it stood up over time? |
| I've only had it for a month, but so far, no complaints. |
|
| Overall |
| Your general opinion of this product. |
| The ESP LTD MH1000NT is light and lean, perfect for the player who wants a good quality grab-and-go guitar without a lot of frills. It plays fast, tunes fast, changes strings fast, and it really weighs almost nothing, so it's back and shoulder friendly. It may be short on gadgets, if that's your thing, and the tone might seem somewhat limited for those who want a fatter sound. |
|
| Playability and Feel |
| How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? |
| One of the reasons I bought this guitar was for the narrow, thin neck, because I have small hands. I can't form chords I was unable to before, and it's a fast neck, though the U shape slightly interferes with access to the A and fat E strings on the upper frets. Probably not an issue if you have bigger hands. I put .09 gauge strings on (it camw with 10s), and it's pretty fairly easy to sound sharp if you fret too hard. I had to soften my touch a bit, which actually helped my playing anyway.
The controls are simple and positioned so they are reachable without getting bumped as you strum.
As alluded to above, this has to be the lightest guitar I've ever held. It feels like a feather. There's a trade off, though, with the tone being a little less meaty than that of, say, the EC1000 or a Hellraiser. Still, one shouldn't assume it's wimpy. It's hot and punchy, just not real fat.
The balance feels pretty good. No "nose dives" or any of that business. |
|
| Tone |
| Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? |
| As described above, it's warm, bright, and rich, with fairly hot SD passive pick-ups. It was made for sweeping arpeggios. Alex Lifeson could have recorded Permanent Waves with this guitar then lent it to any number of 80s hair metal wizards, who passed it along to any modern rock band. You could probably do some gloomy stuff on it, but I don't write or play that way, so you'll have to take a stab and let me know. It's not suitable for a mellow, strat-like sound, nor do I suggest it for those who want a real massive metal tone. |
|
| Finish |
| How did the stain or paint job look? |
| Everyone says this about the guitar they buy, but the photograph doesn't come close to capturing the beauty of the MH1000NT. The finish is flawless and the fretboard is a work of art. The abalone look may not be for every taste, but it looks so pretty in person. The binding and inlays are perfectly flush with the rosewood. |
|
| Action |
| How was the action out of the box? |
| Like most guitars with a metal edge, the action is low out of the box. I haven't gotten any fret buzz, but I don't exactly bang on it that hard. |
