What We Think

The LTD M-1 Custom '87 pays tribute to the bold styling and high-performance guitars that helped define an era of rock and metal. Its neck-thru alder construction provides outstanding sustain and effortless access across all 24 frets, while the extra-thin U maple neck and Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo are built for fast, expressive playing. A Seymour Duncan Distortion humbucker delivers powerful, articulate tones, with push/pull coil splitting and an onboard EMG PA-2 boost adding impressive versatility. Finished in eye-catching Metallic Gold with matching hardware, the M-1 Custom '87 blends vintage-inspired attitude with modern performance in one striking package.

Manufacturer's Description from ESP Guitars

While ESP first got started in 1975 as a small repair shop in Tokyo, it was really toward the mid ‘80s when our guitars and basses grabbed the attention of players around the world. The LTD ’87 Series are faithful recreations of this 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.
