ESP LTD MT-1 Mick Thomson Signature Electric Guitar

Designed in collaboration with Slipknot’s Mick Thomson, the LTD MT-I is a metal-focused Signature Series model crafted for serious performance. Finished in striking Obsidian Metallic, this aggressive instrument is based on the MH-style body, featuring an arched top and inline reverse headstock for a bold visual edge.

The MT-I pairs a mahogany body and white ash top with a set-thru three-piece maple neck, delivering excellent sustain and stability. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard is shaped with a compound radius for fast, articulate playing, and features 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets for durability and precision. Built to Mick’s exacting specs, this guitar incorporates unique high-end appointments including a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut, Hipshot Grip-Lock locking tuners, and a brass Hipshot Hi-Mass hardtail bridge for rock-solid tuning and enhanced resonance.

At the core of its brutal tone is a single Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup, controlled via a low-profile 3-way toggle switch and a push/pull volume knob to access three distinct voicings—from tight modern attack to boosted low-end aggression and a saturated, full-throttle Voice 3. Blue Luminlay side dots aid visibility in dark stage conditions, while the included ESP form-fit hardshell case keeps it protected wherever you go.
