ESP LTD JM-II Josh Middleton, Black Shadow Burst Overview
Feel his fury. The ESP LTD JM-II Josh Middleton signature guitar was made to handle the ferocious playing of Sylosis/Architects guitarist Josh Middleton. Its dark, ominous aesthetic is matched by a sharp, weapon-like design, with a sledgehammer tone to boot. A pair of insanely dynamic Fishman Fluence pickups ensure you can always get a volcanic tone from this instrument, whilst offering a superb array of tones at the push of a button.
Shred the fretboard to pieces. With a sublime three-piece roasted maple neck at your disposal, you'll be able to play riffs at breakneck speed. It's made to an extra thin 'U' shape, ensuring it's supremely comfortable and well suited to fast, aggressive riffs. The JM-II is also fitted with LTD locking tuners, which ensure your tuning remains rock-solid - no matter how savagely you play.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionThe maestro
A growing legend. Josh Middleton has been on the metal scene for a long time, having played in Sylosis for over 20 years. He also plays in the metalcore heavyweights that are Architects - and his riffs are unparalleled. Known for his technical prowess, as well as his supreme skill as a songwriter, it was high time he got his own signature guitar in honour of his talent and achievements. And, as you'd expect, it's an absolute monster, with enough firepower to blow the roof off any venue.
Fiery Fishman Fluences
Glowing with opportunity. A pair of Fishman Fluence Modern pickups proudly take their place in the neck and bridge positions of this guitar. Boasting a range of voicing opt ions, from vintage single coil tones to hot rodded humbucker sounds, they're superbly articulate and will maintain clarity in everything you play, even if you’re using tonnes of gain. The array of distinctive voicings in each position can be activated with the push/pull switch. Go from a tight, crunchy hot rodded humbucker sound to a clean, twangy vintage single coil sound at will.
With such an array of tonal options open to you, you'll be able to bring a new dimension to your playing. The bridge pickup is perfect for tight, articulate rhythm playing, helping chords and riffs cut through any mix. And the neck is equally as impressive, with a warm-but-punchy voicing. You'll have all the tonal weapons you need to put on the ultimate performance.
Roasted maple magic
Absolutely unique. Roasted maple is a special wood, which has tonnes of tonal character and an incredible feel. Being smooth and sleek, you'll find that it offers you ninja-like manoeuvrability around the fretboard. The fretboard itself is made from macassar ebony, providing a beautiful, rich resonance and visual appeal in combination with the neck. It will feel smooth and stable in your hands, freeing up your movement, and allowing you to bring out your best licks. In unison, the neck and fretboard make for prime playing.
Crafted to perfection
It's more than equipped. Every inch and component of this signature has been carefully designed to bring about a quality playing experience. Each of its strings will stay in tune indefinitely thanks to the Gotoh TOM bridge, which offers incredible string stability. In addition, LTD locking tuners also have a vice grip on your strings, holding them tight and preventing any tuning issues. Then there's the included form fit case, which will keep this guitar safe from harm - perfect for gigging musicians. Enrich your music and blow your audience away.
