M BLACK METAL
M BLACK METAL
BLACK SATIN

The LTD Black Metal Series are guitars that are comparable in build quality to our LTD Deluxe “1000 Series” instruments, but with a dark and menacing design theme of all-black finish, components, and hardware, a single premium-quality pickup, Macassar ebony fingerboards with no inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, and even a newly-designed black metal LTD logo on the headstock. The M-Black Metal is based on the design off the ESP M-I FR. It’s a neck-thru-body design at 25.5” scale, and includes a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge. The M Black Metal also makes use of the direct-mount Seymour Duncan “Blackened” Black Winter pickup, controlled by a single volume knob.

I have one sitting in my cart ready to order. I'm curious if they come with a decent setup, like intonation , string height and such. I have no problems tuning a FR guitar , changing strings etc.. and have owned several. But I can't set one up properly to save my life. I always have to take it somewhere initially . If they get a good setup from the factory and it's basically ready to play out of the box, that would be awesome.

Most excellent!!! I absolutely love this guitar! I swapped out the .009’s for .011’s due to the thinness of the SD Black Winter pickup when playing clean. Other than that, I have zero issues with this basic powerhouse of an ax! And for $900 you can’t go wrong with a neck thru! All high end parts and the simplicity! My first ESP and will not be my last! I’m 53 and still jam!!!

This guitar looks awesome with Floyd Rose, single pickup, the reverse headstock, & all black. The only drawback that is holding me back on pulling the trigger to buy is that it is not available with a bolt-on neck. I’ve had neck-thru guitars in the past and I did not like the tone. I love my other LTD bolt-on models. I wish I could play one in person to try out but I have never seen these or most of the LTD lines at any music store.
