ESP LTD MH1000B Baritone Electric Guitar

The ESP LTD MH-1000B is built to dominate the low-end demands of modern metal and progressive rock. Designed for optimal performance in low tunings, this guitar thrives where others struggle. With professional-grade components and a rock-solid build, it bridges the gap between a traditional guitar and a bass, all while maintaining exceptional playability.

Whether you’re crafting intricate djent rhythms or heavy, doom-inspired riffs, the MH-1000B delivers precise, powerful low-end tones with unmatched clarity and impact.

Built for the Depths

Taking your tuning down a fourth shouldn't mean dealing with strings that feel like wet spaghetti. The MH-1000B is structurally engineered to keep your tension tight and your tone massive, ensuring that every chug resonates with clarity and power.

27” Baritone Scale: The extended scale length is the secret sauce for clarity in lower registers. It allows you to tune to B-E-A-D-F#-B (or lower) while maintaining the string tension of a standard guitar, keeping your intonation sharp and your attack snappy.
Neck-Thru Construction: Stability is the name of the game here. The neck runs the entire length of the body, providing unparalleled sustain and resonance that lets your notes ring out until next Tuesday.
Mahogany Body with Maple Cap: This classic tonewood combination delivers the best of both worlds: the warmth and depth of mahogany paired with the snap and bite of a maple top to cut through even the densest mix.

Slick, Sharp, and Seamless

Navigating the fretboard should feel like a breeze. The MH-1000B is built for speed, featuring a neck that invites your hand to fly and frets that make bending effortless. It’s a high-performance machine designed to keep up with your fastest licks.

Compound Radius Fingerboard: Starting rounder at the nut for comfortable chording and flattening out as you climb the neck, this Macassar ebony board allows for low action and choke-free bends, making shredding feel surprisingly effortless.
Stainless Steel Frets: The 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets offer a glass-smooth surface for vibrato and are tough enough to withstand years of heavy-handed riffing without developing divots.
Extra Thin U Neck Profile: The three-piece maple neck features ESP’s celebrated Extra Thin U profile. It sits comfortably in the palm, reducing hand fatigue during marathon practice sessions and allowing for lightning-fast position changes.

Dynamic Tone and Dependable Hardware

While it’s built to be a metal monster, the MH-1000B isn't a one-trick pony. The electronics and hardware are carefully selected to offer a broad palette of tones and rock-solid reliability, ensuring you sound as good as you look.

EMG Pickup Set: The legendary EMG 81 in the bridge provides the razor-sharp attack and aggressive crunch needed for high-gain metal, while the EMG 60TW-R in the neck offers rich, articulate cleans and fluid leads.
Coil-Splitting Capabilities: A push-pull tone knob splits the neck pickup, giving you access to sparkling single-coil textures that add a layer of versatility rarely found in high-output metal guitars.
Locked-Down Hardware: Tuning instability is a buzzkill. With LTD locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design, your strings stay put, your sustain is maximized, and string changes are a breeze.

Define Your Low-End Legacy

The LTD 1000 Series was created for the working musician who demands nothing short of excellence, and the MH-1000B wears that badge with pride. It’s a dedicated tool for the low-end architect, offering the perfect blend of menacing looks, premium feel, and crushing tone. If you're ready to explore the basement of the frequency spectrum without compromising on performance, the MH-1000B is your ticket to the underground.
