Full Description
View Full DescriptionSeymour Duncan Sonics
So powerful it only needs one. Focusing entirely on the bridge position with no distractions, this high output pickup cuts through with a razor edge. Every note will be forceful, defined and loaded with presence. There'll be no stopping you with a voicing that hits chords with a crunch and solos with a scream. Make not mistake, this is Seymour Duncan engineering at its finest.
If the all-out aggression of the standard pickup wasn't quite enough for you, then you'll be delighted by the sound altering electronics included in this Custom '87. Firstly, a coil splitting feature lets you delve into the sparkly twang of single coils and thin out the sound. Excellent for dipping into other genres for added versatility. The main event is the active EMG PA-2 mini switch that will inject even more muscle into your sonics. Engage this switch to boost your sound into the stratosphere and let each note impact with force.
Thrill with a Floyd Rose
Excite your audience. Whammy bars let you accent your leads with a flourish, or finesse cleans with a mystical vibrato. And the locking Floyd Rose 1000 installed on the M-1 Custom '87 is one of the best in the business. Enjoy superb accuracy and solid tuning reliability from one of the leading tremolo manufacturers out there. So, you can divebomb and pitch bend to the extreme without fear of your sound slipping. It's going to be your secret weapon to command the spotlight.
Let the riffs roll
...On a maple neck that's profiled for blistering speed. You'll be able to play for hours without tiring on an extra thin U-shaped neck. It's crafted to allow your hand the freedom to position at pace, so you can transition around the registers seamlessly. This is only enhanced by the sumptuous ebony fretboard that's slicker than slick. Dark in tone and colour, it's a naturally oily wood which will let your riffs fly at a blistering tempo. Equipped with 24 extra jumbo-sized frets, you're able to perform jaw dropping string bends without fretting out. They also provide a low action point for your strings, enabling quick chording and an effortless feel.
But this guitar is meant for the stage, and so ESP have built the neck to perform with power. It's made from three layers of maple to give it astounding durability and resistance to warping so you can keep the rock flowing. Using a neck-through-body construction, you'll achieve stunning sustain and have ample room at the top frets for those soaring solos.
