DISC ESP LTD MH-1000HS QM, Violet Shadow Fade

Full Description

Searing Seymour Duncans

Unleash a tone of fury. The ESP MH-1000HS is home to a pair of exquisite Seymour Duncan pickups, for a sound of mesmerising ferocity. In the neck position – the Hot Rails. Using a strong ceramic magnet and over wound coils, this unique humbucker specialises in producing a gigantic, powerful tone. It’s high output, and it delivers the aggressive crunch that defined the rock and metal genres. So you can expect nothing less than a harmonically-rich midrange, and that fat, textured sound we all crave. Put simply, it’s a scorching-hot humbucker, with its own distinctive flair. It’s the Hot Rail.

Next up – the Pegasus bridge pickup. Again, it’s a Seymour Duncan. So you’re guaranteed a pickup of sensational quality, with a sound sure to astound any audience. The Pegasus humbucker is characterised by its prominent midrange and focussed low end. Which makes it a perfect choice for the demands of a progressive metal fanatic. Balanced and responsive; the Pegasus ensures every note you play will cut through any live mix. Together, the Seymour Duncan duo produce the sought-after metal tones that have dominated stages for decades.

With a push/pull coil split function included for additional versatility, the MH-1000HS typifies everything a metal guitar should be - fierce, striking, and an outright shredding machine.

Oozing with sustain

Let every note ring. The MH-1000HS is tailored for the shredder. And much of this is down to its neck-thru construction. Since the same piece of wood makes up the neck of the guitar, and middle-section of the body – the strings are able to vibrate the housing of the pickups, and this response can then be transferred to the amplifier. What this means is that each note you play will resonate right through to the pickups, and this provides a level of sustain that other neck types can’t compete with. So when you’re rocking the stage with an exhilarating solo, you can count on the MH-1000HS to scream with near-endless resonance.

Born to perform

Play to your full potential. The ESP MH-1000HS features a double-cutaway mahogany body for a totally unhindered playing experience. With easy access to the upper frets, you can play with ultimate freedom, and perform those scorching solos in style. No limitations. Just a guitar that’s crafted for your creativity.

Sleekness. It’s vital in the world of guitars. Especially when it comes to fast playing. Thankfully, ESP have incorporated a range of tonewoods that ensure you can play with supreme comfort and flexibility. A 3-piece maple neck is sculpted into a thin “U” profile, creating a feel that is just right in the palm of your hand. But the secret to the MH-1000HS’s effortless playability is the macassar ebony fretboard. Ebony is renowned for its ultra-smooth surface, which is why it’s a favourite across countless ESP models. Therefore, your hands can glide up and down the entirety of the guitar’s scale in rapid fashion. More precision, no restraints

Let your creativity thrive

Locking tremolo. It’s essential for any serious metal guitarist. How else could you incorporate such daring dive bombs into your playing? Thankfully, ESP know what’s required for an exhilarating performance. Featuring a Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge, you can experience the freedom of creativity right at your fingertips. This locking tremolo system allows you to perform the most audacious of vibrato effects, with your strings returning to their original tuning. This way, you can have the peace-of-mind that your guitar is in tune, even after your insane whammy bar antics. An unforgettable performance, where inspiration flourishes.
