The ESP Guitar Company

Chase Fraser of California-based progressive death metal band Continuum does a playthrough of his band's song "Designed Obsolescence" using an LTD Deluxe M-1007 Multi-Scale. The song is the title track off the band's latest album which was released on February 22. The M-1007 Multi-Scale makes use of an angled fret arrangement to offer different scale lengths for the various strings of the guitar, allowing for optimal string tension, and has also been stated by many players to offer an ergonomic improvement for the fretting hand. It includes a “drop top” of thick flamed maple that’s bent over a lightweight mahogany back. Top-tier components include a set of Seymour Duncan Nazgul and Sentient pickups that were custom-made for ESP with a special angled design and pole spacing optimized for the multi-scale design. A push-pull control on the tone knob allows for coil splitting, providing a wealth of flexible tones.
