ESP LTD MH-1000 QM, Black Ocean

Full Description

Volcanic tone

Unearth your sound. You'll no doubt have heard of Fishman pickups. They have been rapidly gaining fame for their new, cutting edge pickup technology which provides a cornucopia of tonal possibilities. Both pickups have an active and passive voicing, meaning you can get the precise sound you’re looking for.

The Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker in the bridge uses a ceramic magnet to deliver unbridled tightness and a crisp, attack-heavy sound. The passive setting sounds full bodied and raw, offering pure tonal aggression. The active setting offers a high output, mids-heavy sound which smashes through the mix with unbelievable bite. When using the alnico neck Fluence pickup, you'll have a warmer, saturated lead tone which makes lead licks scream with power. With these pickups, your tone will be volcanic, with enough fiery dynamism to handle anything.

Ebony dreams

Dark and beautiful. This macassar ebony fretboard offers an exceptional playing experience. It, too, has a bright resonance and an excellent level of comfort, facilitating smooth and efficient fret changes. As such, you'll find that it complements the maple neck perfectly, offering slick manoeuvrability and a world of musical possibilities.

Fabled maple neck

Bright and snappy. Maple is a coveted wood for guitar necks, offering supreme sturdiness, smoothness, and comfort. This neck has a naturally bright resonance, so it will bring out plenty of prominence and midrange punch in your riffs. Made to a super-fast Extra Thin 'U' shape, your fingers will feel a newfound freedom as they sail along this premium neck, and you'll be able to express yourself musically without boundaries.

Floyd Rose ferocity

So you like vibrato? With a Floyd Rose FR 1000 SE Pro Tremolo, you can have all the vibrato in the world. A 'floating' bridge, it will let you bend notes up or down with ease using the whammy bar – and you can do divebombs too. The tuning stability is tight, the resonance is powerful, and the feel is beyond words. Built to a professional standard, this is a fully authentic Floyd Rose bridge – nothing beats the original. You can also fine tune the strings using the fine tuning screws – without having to take off the locking nut. If you’re looking for a bridge which will enhance your riffs and give you pure confidence on stage, this is it.
