ESP LTD Mick Thomson MT-1 Electric Guitar with Case Obsidian Metallic
The ESP LTD Mick Thomson MT-1 is a finely tuned weapon for sonic destruction, designed for players who demand punishing tone and surgical precision.
Dressed in a stealthy Obsidian Metallic finish, this signature model for Slipknot's legendary guitarist delivers the crushing force needed for modern metal while maintaining incredible clarity. It's an instrument built for one purpose: to deliver riffs that hit with the force of a battering ram.
Unleashing the Metal Machine
This guitar strips away the unnecessary, leaving only the essentials for pure, unadulterated performance. From its streamlined electronics to its menacing aesthetics, every detail is crafted for power and playability.
Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature Pickup: At the heart of this beast is a single active humbucker designed to Mick's exact specifications. This isn't your standard pickup; it's a tonal chameleon.
Dual-Voice Versatility: The push/pull volume knob toggles between two distinct voicings. Voice 1 delivers a tight, aggressive ceramic sound perfect for percussive, palm-muted chugs, while Voice 2 offers a blade-style passive tone with a pronounced mid-range ideal for searing leads and complex chords.
Set-Thru Neck Construction: The three-piece maple neck is joined seamlessly to the mahogany body, providing massive sustain and exceptional stability. This construction also allows for effortless access to the upper frets, so nothing stands in the way of your solos.
Built for Speed and Stability
Every component of the MT-1 is selected to withstand the rigors of aggressive playing styles, ensuring your performance is as reliable as it is ferocious. This guitar stays in tune and feels rock-solid, no matter how hard you play.
Macassar Ebony Fingerboard: Known for its slick feel and articulate response, the ebony fingerboard features a compound radius that's perfect for both chord work and soloing. It's complemented by 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets that promise years of durability.
Hipshot Hardware: From the Grip-Lock locking tuners to the Hi-Mass hardtail bridge, this guitar is outfitted with top-tier Hipshot hardware. This combination guarantees exceptional tuning stability and precise intonation, letting you focus on your playing.
Luminlay Side Markers: The blue Luminlay side markers are a gigging musician's best friend. They absorb light and glow in the dark, ensuring you never lose your place on the fretboard, even on the darkest stages.
Menacing Looks, Impeccable Craftsmanship
The MT-1’s minimalist design is both elegant and intimidating. The sleek Obsidian Metallic finish and clean lines make a bold statement without saying a word.
Mahogany Body with White Ash Top: This tonewood combination provides a foundation of warm, resonant lows from the mahogany, topped with the bright, snappy attack of white ash. The result is a balanced tone with plenty of punch and definition.
Streamlined Controls: With just a single volume knob and a 3-way toggle switch, the electronics are brilliantly simple. This setup allows you to quickly switch between pickup voicings without interrupting your performance.
Included Hardshell Case: To protect your investment, the MT-1 comes with a custom ESP hardshell form-fit case, ensuring it arrives at every gig safely and in style.
The Final Word: Precision and Power
The ESP LTD Mick Thomson MT-1 is a specialized tool for the modern metal guitarist. It combines brutal tone with flawless playability and a no-nonsense aesthetic. If you're looking for an instrument that can handle the heaviest riffs you can throw at it while maintaining sparkling clarity, your search is over.
