M-1 CUSTOM '87
M-1 CUSTOM '87
DARK METALLIC BLUE
While ESP first got started in 1975 as a small repair shop in Tokyo, it was really toward the mid ‘80s when our guitars and basses grabbed the attention of players around the world. 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. Available in Black, Dark Metallic Blue, and Candy Apple Red finishes.

Introducing the '87 Series
Friends
so i just found out that the m-1 custom 87 has a 43mm nut. it sucks because i was just going to buy one and 43mm nut is too wide, that's why i don't buy ibanzez. i have to scratch that off my must buy list.
anyway, here's to hoping next years m1 custom 87 has a 42mm nut and maybe a single coil pickup at the neck as well.
cheers!

You'll have to do what I did....track down a Korean build. Ask whatever shop you want to buy from....any reputable shop will be happy to check for you which it is. I have no clue on build quality differences as I've played on Indonesian guitars from others that were great, some crap. I've got 2 other Korean ESP LTDs though, and both are as good or better build quality to any USA guitars I have. So based on that plus the Korean build's blue paint looks great like Bruce has in his video is why I avoided the Indonesian build....the blue varies, and some I've seen I thought it was black until they showed a pic of the back of the guitar and I realized it was a REALLY dark almost midnight blue.
