Sound Pure's Take

The LTD Deluxe MH-1000NT is a modern workhorse built for players who demand exceptional performance without compromise. Its set-thru construction, mahogany body, and flamed maple top deliver impressive sustain and resonance, while the extra-thin U maple neck, compound-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard, and stainless steel frets provide effortless playability. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups offer powerful, articulate tones with selectable voices, making the MH-1000 equally capable of crushing high-gain rhythm work and expressive cleans. Finished in striking Charcoal Burst and equipped with premium hardware throughout, this LTD is a refined instrument that excels on stage, in the studio, and beyond.

From ESP Guitars

The LTD MH Series combines design elements of ESP’s H/Horizon models, like its archtop body, and from the M/Mirage guitars, like its inline headstock and extra-thin u-shaped neck. The result is a guitar that can do no wrong for any style of music. The MH-1000NT features set-thru construction at 25.5” scale, allowing for smooth and fast access to the highest frets. It offers a mahogany body with flamed maple top, finished in a translucent Charcoal burst finish to allow the figured wood to be a highlight, with white binding on the body, neck, and reversed headstock. The MH-1000NT has a sturdy thin u-shaped three-piece maple neck, and a Macassar ebony fingerboard with offset block inlays and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Black hardware and components on this excellent guitar include a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string thru body, LTD locking tuners, and a set of direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups (ceramic in the bridge and alnico in the neck), with push-pull control to select voicings and black nickel covers to match this guitar’s outstanding aesthetics. Each pickup offers two voices. With the ceramic bridge pickup, Voice 1 is the ultimate high-output ceramic humbucker bridge pickup tone… crisp, searing crunch, tight bass with no mud, and a growl. Voice 2 delivers modern passive attack performance that has superbly organic distortion characteristics with outstanding dynamics and response. The alnico neck pickup’s Voice 1 is Fishman’s modern active high-output tone, offering the ideal active alnico sound: full, round, and boosted, but with unprecedented articulation and dynamics. Voice 2 gives you the crisp, clean and fluid neck humbucker tone you’ve always wanted.
