Designed in collaboration with Slipknot guitarist Mick Thomson, the ESP LTD MT-1 is a riff-ready, metal-machine built to deliver surgical precision and unrelenting tone. Finished in a stealthy Obsidian Metallic, this aggressive single-cut axe combines a mahogany body and white ash top with a fast-playing 3-piece maple neck, joined via a Set-Thru construction for endless sustain and unmatched upper-fret access. The Macassar ebony fingerboard features 24 stainless steel medium jumbo frets and a compound 300400mm radius, allowing for comfortable chording and effortless lead work.
At the heart of the MT-1 is the Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickupa modern powerhouse with three distinct voices accessible via the push-pull volume knob and toggle switch. Whether you’re after tight, active rhythm tones or open, passive-style cleans, this pickup delivers with clarity and aggression. Rounding out the build is a Hipshot High Mass bridge, Grip-Lock tuners, and Gotoh locking strap buttons, ensuring absolute tuning stability and stage-ready reliability.
