ESP LTD M-1 Custom '87 Dark Metallic Purple Electric guitar

The LTD ’87 Series are faithful recreations of set of instruments from ESP’s 1987 catalog. The LTD M-1 Custom ’87, based on the legendary original ESP M-1 model, offers neck-thru body construction for fast access to the highest frets. Its comfortable alder body and three-piece extra thin U-shaped maple neck are designed for speed and smooth playability. The M-1 Custom ’87 features a top-mounted Floyd Rose 1000 bridge and a single Seymour Duncan TB-6 Distortion pickup with a push-pull control for coil splitting, and an EMG PA-2 boost switch for when you need that extra push of raw power. The TB-6 is a classic Duncan high-output passive humbucker that incorporates a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings to deliver powerful but balanced rock and metal tones with rich upper-midrange harmonic content.

Тype

Тype: Superstrat

The Superstrat is a type of electric guitar based on the design of the Stratocaster, but modified for a more aggressive style of playing, especially in the hard rock and metal genres. It has a solid body, often with powerful humbucker pickups for a more powerful and distorted sound. Superstrat guitars often have an improved tremolo system (like the Floyd Rose) and a faster neck for technical playing. This type of guitar is designed for the modern guitarist who demands more versatility and performance.

Body

Body: Alder

Alder is a medium-weight wood that produces a well-balanced tone with a strong mid-range, bright highs and moderate bass. It is known for its warm and full sound, making it a versatile material for a variety of musical styles.

Neck

Neck: 3pc Maple

The three-piece maple neck is made from three layers of maple for increased strength and stability. This material provides a clear, crisp tone with fast response, while offering high resistance to bending and warping. It is ideal for players looking for reliability and long-term neck stability.

Fretboard: Macassar Ebony

Macassar ebony is a hard, dense wood with a distinctive striped pattern in shades of black and brown. It offers a clear, crisp tone with excellent response and sustain. The Macassar ebony fingerboard is valued for its luxurious appearance and durability. This contributes to the precise playability and longevity of the instrument.

Pickups Configuration: H

Humbucker configuration means that the guitar is equipped with a single humbucker pickup. This setup offers a powerful, full-bodied tone with high output and low noise, making it ideal for styles such as rock and metal where a punchy, distorted sound is desired.

The good stuff: This guitar is the guitar I wanted forever without knowing it. The sounds and sustain you get out of such a simple layout is wonderful. The color is also beautiful and I can't get my eyes off it. The Bad stuff: the guitar was made in Indonesia and the finish isn't impeccable, as opposed to my other Korean made LTDs from the same series. The set up was also terrible, with a very high action and slanted tremolo out of the box! The boost toggle switch was loose and switches from one position to the other with a caress and there is no way I can tighten this up without replacing the whole unit, sadly. I don't know how the guitar was stored before shipment, but the box was slightly damaged at the nut level, and the locking nut screws that popped out of the box were rusty. The fretboard was also super dry! And yet, with all of this in mind, I love the guitar and the issues are, for the most part , easy to fix. I will keep this guitar for some time for sure as it is the one I play the most out of my 40+ guitars, cause it plays and sound SO GOOD. I also swapped the Floyd Rose 1000 for the german original Floyd Rose, it's more stable and less stiff to use.
