Sound Pure's Take
The LTD MT-1 is a purpose-built signature guitar designed for uncompromising precision, speed, and crushing modern tone. Its set-thru construction, mahogany body with a white ash top, and ultra-comfortable Thin U maple neck provide exceptional sustain and effortless playability, while the compound-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard and stainless steel frets are ready for the most demanding techniques. The Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson pickup offers multiple voicings, delivering everything from razor-sharp articulation to massive, high-gain aggression with the flip of a switch. Finished in striking Obsidian Metallic and equipped with premium hardware throughout, the MT-1 is an inspiring instrument built for serious performance.
From ESP Guitars
The LTD MT-I is the highly-anticipated Signature Series guitar for Mick Thomson, the iconic guitarist of Slipknot. Available in Obsidian Metallic finish, the MT-I is based on the MH-style body, with an arched top and an inline reverse headstock. This outstanding guitar features set-thru construction at 25.5” scale, pairing a mahogany body with white ash top to a three-piece maple neck with a flawless, smooth Macassar ebony fingerboard with compound radius and 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets. Based on Mick’s precise requirements, the MT-I has a set of special, unique features not found on any other LTD guitar model, including a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut, Hipshot Grip-Lock locking open gear tuners, an all-brass Hipshot Hi-Mass hardtail bridge, blue Luminlay side markers, and a Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup with a 3-way low profile toggle switch to select between Voice 1, Voice 1 with bass boost shift, and Voice 2, and a push/pull volume control to select Voice 3. Includes ESP hardshell form fit case.
