This guitar is a beast indeed. Bought it after going through Switch, Ibanez, Dean & Jackson. The neck is so thin, the finish is awesome, the 24th fret is so easily accessible and the pickups..no comment ;) Never let me down, be it live or just studio rehearsal.
ESP sees to be the metal monster brand and this one in particular is very reasonably priced for a killer guitar you can take anywhere and go anywhere with..ive been researching like crazy recently and honestly I dont think any pickups can match the EMGs either. i'm definitely getting this one after looking at arrows, black metal, etc. Thanks for this video.
I have This guitar 2016 model with jb/ 59 set with push pull. Coil split sounds decent but the metal tones sound a bit muffled. Any recommendations for a better passive set? I like blues classic and modern metal and clean stuff too
I’m newish to the guitar. I have a Tele and as much as I love it, I don’t get the deep metal tones I want when I play. I’ve been looking for a solid guitar for heavier stuff and I think this one’s it! Someday I will get one of these but for now I’ll admire it from a distance! Great review! Thanks for all the content!
My favorite guitar is my ltd m-1000ht deluxe and as for the neck it's an extra thin u shape. Fastest slimmest neck ive ever played and I've played a ton, used to think thin c was my neck shape like on my shecters or deans but no this neck is insanely small and fast. Definitly check it out if you get a chance as esp Ltd's extra thin u may just impress you. My guitars are ltd m-1000ht deluxe, shecter omen elite 7, shecter omen elite, dean razorback, bc rich warlock, dean ml. Good stuff and good playing, happy shredding.
I bought this same guitar last week from the guy I had sold it to some 10-12 years ago. A 2007 right before they changed the model to black chrome hardware. It still had the same strings I put on there some 10-12 years ago and the guitar sat in it's case for over 10 years but it still had near perfect tuning and the rod and bridge angle were perfect...rock solid! I owned a LTD Jeff Hanneman signature also from around the same years, these guitars are great!! I also owned 2 real ESPs and 4 USA made Jacksons but these LTDs made before the 2010s have a just as good quality build so they're awesome to play and they sound great too!!!
I just picked up a 2008 LTD MH-1000 deluxe mint case queen yesterday. Green quilt maple with all abalone inlays. Best playing guitar I have ever played. $550
I had one of those Ibanezes: if you can only have one guitar, it's a damn good one to have. I have owned one LTD and I was blown away by the quality of fretwork.
My favorite guitar is my Fender Strat. I modded the shit out of it over the years which includes installing a Floyd Rose, installing Seymour Duncans and scalloping the fret board to name a few mods. To add to it despite having several guitars I have been playing it almost exclusively for the past eighteen years or there about so there is a lot of wear that just adds to it. Honestly that Fender just feels like home. The only other guitar that I have felt that much of a connection to is the LTD that I am getting from my favorite pawn shop with a couple other things. You are right when going from a guitar with a Floyd Rose to one without one it really makes you wish that it had one.
This is the only electric guitar i own/have ever owned. My dad however, has a mahogany Les Paul that he bought like right after he graduated high school, so OG Les Paul. I always wanted an electric guitar but I got a lot of criticism from him. Finally at 25 years old I went out and made my own decision. I'm not very good but I really like the size, action, and look of this guitar. I love the sound and even though I'm not there yet, i can tell that it responds to all of your input, even my noob mistakes. But in a way that's better that it's so unforgiving, because it forces me to be better. I really like this guitar. It is a bigger learning curve than picking up a random Stratocaster that's for sure. But I'm glad I bought this one.
Dude, if I may give you one piece of advice it is to never, ever stop playing! Practice daily and every chance you get, as I'm sure you already do! But yes, this guitar...dude, it's really like the perfect guitar!
I love this guitar... a year ago I bought the M ii E ii and it doesn't compare to this LTD M 1000. I have mine and I doubt I will get rid of it for any simple reason. cheers Jason!!! 🤘
I totally understand the issue of not having a whammy. I thought I could go without it, but I just missed it everyday after I didn't have one on the last guitar I had. Never again.
@@jasonstallworth Ahh I see, the guy never responded so I'm buying a schecter fr sls elite instead, hopefully. Your guitar lesson videos are one of my favorites on youtube.
Well said dude, i had lot of expensive guitar, gibby, fender, ibz, jackson, you name it. But this guitar surprisingly the best playbility guitar i ever played, and i don't even play metal.
Yes, expensive doesn't always mean better! I do have the ESP E-II Horizon FR-7 and that's expensive, at least in my opinion. I doubt I will ever spend that much money on a guitar again. You can check out my review of that guitar here: ruclips.net/video/ORNzJtn1aQE/видео.html
Mine is almost identical. It's the M-1001. Same color, only difference is mine doesn't have abolone on the outer edge of the neck/head, fretboard is slightly different color. Same guitar, just ever so slight cosmetic differences. I love the guitar too. It has the best feel, easiest to play of any I've ever had. Paid like 1100 for it back in 2017 I believe. I think it's the 2017 model.
I have the same exact guitar . Love it! I have sold amps, cabs, guitars and will never part with it. The only thing is changed was the volume knob location. It’s to close to the bridge for my picking technique. I had a tendency to turn myself down while Playing.
I might have to get one of these. This or the jackson dka with reverse headstock and fishman pickups. It was on sale for 549 today at guitar center. The reverse headstocks are so bad ass!🤘
I have this same guitar with the abalone binding and inlays including the headstock logo in abalone in what ESP called Snow White. I did swap the bridge out for an original Floyd Rose not because I thought it was better than the 1000 series it originally came with because honestly there is no difference. I did it because the FR 1000 it came with was in some black chrome color and I preferred solid black hardware and I swapped the knobs out for solid black ones too. It looks great, sounds great and I love it to this day! I live pretty close to you man! Cheers!
It's a killer guitar and one I'll always keep! Oh, if you're in the area, I do live solo acoustic shows (80s covers) all over town. I post my events on FB and also have my schedule on my website here: www.jasonstallworth.com/
Jason Stallworth I totally know what you mean. The MG-750 is the exact same as the M1000 except with the thinner, satin/natural neck and no binding. They didnt make too many of them but I rank it right with Japanese model E-IIs.
Hello , I’m a lefty and my choices are limited can I get prs like tones with it ? Because I like metal but I also want some nice clean sound but I can’t buy both. Ur Videos are great keep ‘em coming !
Have a esp ltd 401 with EMG pickups. I have went back and forth with other brands but am a big ltd fan. I'm sure I will snag one of these 1000's in the future.
My favorite guitar is an RG1027 and I upgraded the non metal PAF7 by Dimarzio to Seymour Duncan’s Omega in Bridge and Sentient in Neck. Omg I swear it plays itself. Haha 🤙🤟
Hey Jason, newbie question if I may: what's the benefit of having the same 81 pickup in the neck position? Wouldn't you want a different EMG in the neck position for tonal variety? Thanks mate!
They're actually different pickups . There's a 81 neck and an 81 bridge.. don't ask me what the differences is,but they're marked for the specific location for some reason. Different output maybe?
I have the same guitar switched the pickups for a seymour duncan jazz and a dimarzio super distorsion with push pull also added a tremol-no and I can play about everything with it its just awesome nice video thumbs up and a sub for you good man
Oh I forgot to add one more thing i’ve had a few guitars and especially when you buy guitar knew I find do you have to change out the strings and put good quality ones in spend like 60 to $80 Australian I’m strings otherwise I find you always gonna have tuning problems put a good setting and they Stay in tune that’s what I found anyway providing you got a decent instrument
Adam Burger I really don’t know but I’m going to create a blog post on my website to go into more details about this guitar so I’ll be sure to research that. Here’s my blog: www.jasonstallworth.com/blog/
Hey bud, -I was looking thru my email mesgs earlier? . .and I remember we were talking about the ESP LTD M-1000 Deluxe? I just thought I would get back to you, and let you know that I did pull the trigger on it!...lol I'm loving it bro! I ordered it thru Reverb, or E-bay?, don't remember at the moment?...heh Anyway, it came in tune basically ,in Dropped C as well?...heh - I did end up paying for a complete set-up, and I had a whole fret job-(leveled) as well?, cuz there were a couple frets that were janky?...no big deal....it was worth it...ha -as far as I know?, 2006 and 2007 were the only years that they made 'em like that? could be wrong tho? - mine is a 2007 I believe? Anyway, I'm already seeing that those guitars are getting harder and harder to find? if you haven't noticed? heh- take care my brotha- cya
@@jasonstallworth hey bud, yea?- how does that happen? strange? never saw that happen before? Anyway, i was just sayin', i did end up getting that guitar- i like it
hi Jason !! i found a used one ( 2004 ), it's cool! does your m-1000 has some soft crack on the binding? mine has a lot of little crack on it, something like vintage style, i think is because is old, thanks
It's too bad that color got discontinued. Now its just the "Snow White" one. Other than that, there's the KIrk Hammett signature (the purple one is a pretty cool vibe, once in a while). The rest have different headstocks and bridges.
@@jasonstallworth Its not made anymore. They discontinued that finish, and moved production from Korea to Indonesia. Yours is Korea and the new white is Indo. I just bought one like your finish as well. I think its a ‘13. And I’m thinkjng from doing some research they maybe switched factories around ‘16 I think.
@@yoyigu I use .09 (super light) and then .10 (light) for my 7 string. Many metal players say that’s too light and prefer heavier. But you really have to try different gauges to see what you prefer.
Cool guitar, do you know what the material of the frets are? When you record guitar, do you tune the strings slightly flat to compensate for them going sharp on the pick attack? I actually have an ESP The Mirage Custom from the 80's lol. It's my only guitar and it has passive stock pickups, so I'm curious to get another guitar with active pickups for metal. Do you play the bass too? I'm looking to get a bass at some point, to get more power into my riffs, haha. Do you prefer active or passive pickups on the bass for metal?
I really don't know the material, I just know it's the perfect setup for me. And I don't use any special tunings. Actually, I play with a lot less attack than most metal players. Bass...I have the LTD D5 and it has passive pickups. I'm happy with that. My advice for bass is make sure you have (or get) a 5 string. Those lower notes add so much more power in your overall mix.
@@erik9817 I'm personally not a fan of drop tuning, in general. I feel like you'll lose that tightness. Especially with bass. So I recommend just getting a 5 string. You can probably pick up a decent one used. Both ESP and Ibanez make some really nice mid-grade 5 string basses.
Yeah man, here's 2 videos to watch where I go into detail about to use my settings... My core BIAS FX Metal settings: ruclips.net/video/2evDBTzUslE/видео.html And here's another vid you may find helpful if you decide to get BIAS Amp 2: ruclips.net/video/tIDQtgyBhko/видео.html
Hi Jason, I am an amateur musician and I play in a church. As you know church music is more of strumming and rhythm type of playing. But since I started guitar 18 years ago, I wanted to learn floyd rose I told myself. Until very recently, just few days back, I just bought a USD 1000 electric guitar. It is an ESP LTD M-1000 Ebony Snow White electric guitar with floyd rose. This is my second electric guitar and my first electric guitar cost me around 100 USD. It is 10 times the investment. I am not a full time musician, in your opinion, should I sell it or just keep it ? I just bought because hoping to get a good quality floyd rose and electric guitar. Is it a wise decision or it is a waste of money ? I am a bit regret for buying such a high end guitar. So total I have only 2 electric guitars. It is not a bad guitar but do you think it is wise to invest such a huge amount money to the instrument ? I am not Led Zeppelin or Malmsteen and I feel a bit miserable on this issue. Should I just sell my ESP LTD M-1000 Ebony Snow White and get lower range proper guitar like a fender strat or telecaster for church serving purposes? Thanks and hope to hear from you soon. This is the guitar model that I had bought www.espguitars.com/products/13508-m-1000-ebony-sw
That's a great guitar so I say keep it! And don't let playing in church limit you. Branch out and add some licks and different styles in there. I actually played in churches most of my life up until a few years ago (too busy with my own music ventures these days). But I'd always throw in solos and just different things to spice up the music, and you can definitely do that as well!
I say keep it as well. I bought an LTD deluxe a few years ago - model names on LTD guitars are terrible to differentiate them, but generally the M1000 are in the same price range. I could barely play anything when I got it, but it's been so nice to learn on a great quality guitar that I play it more than I used to play my older cheaper one. Besides, the one you got looks awesome 🤘
I say sell to me, for real cheap. Lol. Just kidding. My advise is to get over the buyers remorse by playing it and becoming a better guitar player no matter what style of music you play or whether that particular guitar is good for your genre or not. Make it work for you. Peace through music
I was serching for ltd with that freatboard design. I found the same design in china only model ltd mt-130. Is there a design name for that perticular arrowish design?
I got mine used for 6 or 7. Great guitar, build wise. It feels and plays so so good. I would upgrade the bridge saddles and pins to stainless, because the hardware leaves much to be desired. My floyd rose was so rusted it snapped while doing a dive bomb lol. Sux that the most important hardware is still fairly cheap, as my sweat is very acidic and you cant always wipe your guitar clean and dry when you are out gigging in a band. So be careful of that. Otherwise amazing instrument.
Hey dude i have i question to you. I have an Ibanez RG1570 and i want a guitar for metal. Should i buy this LTD M1000 or should i get an ESP E-II M-II. The Esp can be hard for me but i can buy it in the future. Thanks from now if you answer to my question.
Does anyone happen to know if the LTD M-1000 with a maple fretboard is rare? I picked one up at a pawnshop that was in absolutely perfect condition last year, and I’ve seen very few with a maple fretboard. I assume LTD has some numbers of which types they built and sold... I believe mine is a 2014. Any help appreciated! My absolute favorite guitar I’ve ever owned by the way.... my next closest was an Ibanez RG 565 which I also loved. I had a Jackson dinky XL Pro that was also pretty nice.
Jumbo, yes, but I don't think they're stainless (I don't have this guitar anymore). The newer MH-1000 Deluxe has stainless frets: ruclips.net/video/8dcZhgIj6QY/видео.html
I've never played an ESP that didn't play like butter or an LTD that didn't punch way above it's weight class. But, I just can't, for the life of me, understand why the powers that be at ESP have kept the obscenely fugly 12th fret inlay. The only guitar that can display a script on a block 12th fret inlay is a guitar that has block inlays to begin with. I'm ready to drop $2K on an ESP USA M-II NTB FR but, it doesn't have dot abalone inlays.
That's actually a song I had just written and it will more than likely go on my next album (most all of the music you hear in my videos is original). If you like that, you'll definitely like my latest album Masterpeace! In fact, you can get some free song downloads from me here: www.jasonstallworth.com/join/
Jason Stallworth I just pulled the trigger on a LTD M-1000 Deluxe through Reverb!!!!! I had an ESP M-1 that was neck thru with skull and bones inlays at one time.......regretting getting rid of that guitar........also had a Jackson USA Snakeskin Soloist.......will definitely check out you albums!!!!!
Couldn't tell you as I've never played that guitar. I do know that Schecter guitars have thicker necks (ESPs, too, but just slightly thinner) whereas Ibanez RGs have thinner necks, so that's something to think about when choosing a guitar...see what type of neck fits your hands best
Hi how you going you remind me a lot of myself I’m just like you my first real Guitar is a cort EVL K4 which has EMG-HZ which is really wicked pick up sounds great very hard-core and made for metal I love the car it’s one of those guitars that you look at it and you just have to pick it up and it makes you feel good every time you do can you just say it’s a beast I love this one it’s quite a fast playing guitar I think and I like it feel free to do a review and let me know what you think I love the guitar it’s a great guitar it makes you want to play and is a pleasure to play i’ve got a Jackson bass my first real proper bass that makes you want to pick it up and play it’s such a pleasure to play I love my Jacksons to I haven’t played really any BC Rich could you tell her you On one of these I find Max Jackson play very well even the cheapies and they sound great I think Jackson have a good range from cheap to expensive and even the cheap ones I still pretty good I give you a good bang for your buck And they sound great
Yes, you'll just need to be aware of how to set it up for that tuning and string gauge difference. It's good to learn that, but me personally, I have a pro set it up initially
New, these things are around $1000 but I bought mine for $600 used (this was back in 2009). I also have a video on more guitars around that price range here: ruclips.net/video/tA7o5fhPFco/видео.html
I literally just bought this guitar on eBay and decided to look for a video with it. Great episode, bro! Thanks for sharing it!
Awesome man, I know you'll dig it!
This guitar is a beast indeed. Bought it after going through Switch, Ibanez, Dean & Jackson.
The neck is so thin, the finish is awesome, the 24th fret is so easily accessible and the pickups..no comment ;)

I have the same guitar switched the pickups for a seymour duncan jazz and a dimarzio super distorsion with push pull also added a tremol-no and I can play about everything with it its just awesome nice video thumbs up and a sub for you good man
Filip Castillo Thank you dude (and thanks for supporting my channel!) Yeah, I love this guitar! Interesting about switching the pickups!
Oh I forgot to add one more thing i’ve had a few guitars and especially when you buy guitar knew I find do you have to change out the strings and put good quality ones in spend like 60 to $80 Australian I’m strings otherwise I find you always gonna have tuning problems put a good setting and they Stay in tune that’s what I found anyway providing you got a decent instrument
That's true and that's why I like Elixir strings...they stay in tune
Good vid dude- You were talking about the neck size, and thickness- I'm used to Jackson type necks, are they about the same, or thinner?
It's been so long since I've played a Jackson so I don't remember. I believe they're about the same though
@@jasonstallworth Thanks, I'm sure it would be an easy transition- Do you know what year they started making those?
Adam Burger I really don’t know but I’m going to create a blog post on my website to go into more details about this guitar so I’ll be sure to research that. Here’s my blog: www.jasonstallworth.com/blog/
@@jasonstallworth Thanks bro, I'm thinkin' I might pull the trigger on this one .hah
Adam Burger Do it! You will not be disappointed!! And you can probably find a used one for a decent price
Hey bud, -I was looking thru my email mesgs earlier? . .and I remember we were talking about the ESP LTD M-1000 Deluxe? I just thought I would get back to you, and let you know that I did pull the trigger on it!...lol I'm loving it bro! I ordered it thru Reverb, or E-bay?, don't remember at the moment?...heh Anyway, it came in tune basically ,in Dropped C as well?...heh - I did end up paying for a complete set-up, and I had a whole fret job-(leveled) as well?, cuz there were a couple frets that were janky?...no big deal....it was worth it...ha -as far as I know?, 2006 and 2007 were the only years that they made 'em like that? could be wrong tho? - mine is a 2007 I believe? Anyway, I'm already seeing that those guitars are getting harder and harder to find? if you haven't noticed? heh- take care my brotha- cya
Dude for some reason your message has a line through it
@@jasonstallworth hey bud, yea?- how does that happen? strange? never saw that happen before? Anyway, i was just sayin', i did end up getting that guitar- i like it
hi Jason !! i found a used one ( 2004 ), it's cool! does your m-1000 has some soft crack on the binding? mine has a lot of little crack on it, something like vintage style, i think is because is old, thanks
It's too bad that color got discontinued. Now its just the "Snow White" one. Other than that, there's the KIrk Hammett signature (the purple one is a pretty cool vibe, once in a while). The rest have different headstocks and bridges.
Yeah I noticed that and was wondering if this one was made anymore!
@@jasonstallworth Its not made anymore. They discontinued that finish, and moved production from Korea to Indonesia. Yours is Korea and the new white is Indo. I just bought one like your finish as well. I think its a ‘13. And I’m thinkjng from doing some research they maybe switched factories around ‘16 I think.
What strings do you recommend for this guitar? ( i have the same guitar ) and I like very low strings. I play a lot of metallica :)
Strings are a personal preference regardless of genre. I play with Elixir lights on my 7 string, and super lights on my 6
@@jasonstallworth i mean 0.9 , 0.10 or 0.11 for metal ?
@@yoyigu I use .09 (super light) and then .10 (light) for my 7 string. Many metal players say that’s too light and prefer heavier. But you really have to try different gauges to see what you prefer.
Cool guitar, do you know what the material of the frets are? When you record guitar, do you tune the strings slightly flat to compensate for them going sharp on the pick attack? I actually have an ESP The Mirage Custom from the 80's lol. It's my only guitar and it has passive stock pickups, so I'm curious to get another guitar with active pickups for metal. Do you play the bass too? I'm looking to get a bass at some point, to get more power into my riffs, haha. Do you prefer active or passive pickups on the bass for metal?
I really don't know the material, I just know it's the perfect setup for me. And I don't use any special tunings. Actually, I play with a lot less attack than most metal players.
Bass...I have the LTD D5 and it has passive pickups. I'm happy with that.
My advice for bass is make sure you have (or get) a 5 string. Those lower notes add so much more power in your overall mix.
@@jasonstallworth Thanks, I will consider the 5-sting bass, though I assume it's possible to just down tune a regular one (and doing a setup)?
@@erik9817 I'm personally not a fan of drop tuning, in general. I feel like you'll lose that tightness. Especially with bass. So I recommend just getting a 5 string. You can probably pick up a decent one used. Both ESP and Ibanez make some really nice mid-grade 5 string basses.
@@jasonstallworth Interesting observation, I'll try it.
ESP DOMINATOR!!!
hey Jason! can you share us your BIAS FX setup? that sounds awesome! thank you!
Yeah man, here's 2 videos to watch where I go into detail about to use my settings...

Hi Jason,
I am an amateur musician and I play in a church. As you know church music is more of strumming and rhythm type of playing. But since I started guitar 18 years ago, I wanted to learn floyd rose I told myself.
Until very recently, just few days back, I just bought a USD 1000 electric guitar. It is an ESP LTD M-1000 Ebony Snow White electric guitar with floyd rose. This is my second electric guitar and my first electric guitar cost me around 100 USD. It is 10 times the investment. I am not a full time musician, in your opinion, should I sell it or just keep it ? I just bought because hoping to get a good quality floyd rose and electric guitar. Is it a wise decision or it is a waste of money ? I am a bit regret for buying such a high end guitar. So total I have only 2 electric guitars. It is not a bad guitar but do you think it is wise to invest such a huge amount money to the instrument ? I am not Led Zeppelin or Malmsteen and I feel a bit miserable on this issue.
Should I just sell my ESP LTD M-1000 Ebony Snow White and get lower range proper guitar like a fender strat or telecaster for church serving purposes?
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon.
This is the guitar model that I had bought
www.espguitars.com/products/13508-m-1000-ebony-sw
That's a great guitar so I say keep it! And don't let playing in church limit you. Branch out and add some licks and different styles in there. I actually played in churches most of my life up until a few years ago (too busy with my own music ventures these days). But I'd always throw in solos and just different things to spice up the music, and you can definitely do that as well!
I say keep it as well. I bought an LTD deluxe a few years ago - model names on LTD guitars are terrible to differentiate them, but generally the M1000 are in the same price range. I could barely play anything when I got it, but it's been so nice to learn on a great quality guitar that I play it more than I used to play my older cheaper one.
Besides, the one you got looks awesome 🤘
I say sell to me, for real cheap. Lol. Just kidding.
My advise is to get over the buyers remorse by playing it and becoming a better guitar player no matter what style of music you play or whether that particular guitar is good for your genre or not.
Make it work for you. Peace through music
i wish this very guitar was made in a 7 strings also ! with a satin neck and passive pickups of course !
Yeah, I'd love a 7 string replica. The closest thing is the LTD MH1007
Is it the one with a set neck and rosewood fingerboard that you have here ?
I was serching for ltd with that freatboard design. I found the same design in china only model ltd mt-130. Is there a design name for that perticular arrowish design?
I'm not sure but believe mine was made in Indonesia if I'm not mistaken
The guitar tone and riff sounds similar to the tone in that one bullet for my valentine song the last fight
🤘🤘🤘
You’re fucking bad ass! 🤘🏼
I have a 2010 Esp Ltd mh1000fr..
Tried to sell it 3 times for cheap...
No one even called.
Now my kid is playing so I gave it to him...
That's crazy...how much were you asking for it?
450... its perfect..
My kid loves it...
I am teaching him the modes..
I got mine used for 6 or 7. Great guitar, build wise. It feels and plays so so good. I would upgrade the bridge saddles and pins to stainless, because the hardware leaves much to be desired. My floyd rose was so rusted it snapped while doing a dive bomb lol. Sux that the most important hardware is still fairly cheap, as my sweat is very acidic and you cant always wipe your guitar clean and dry when you are out gigging in a band. So be careful of that. Otherwise amazing instrument.
dan shaw I didn’t think about that (sweat and rust). Of course I haven’t been playing love lately; just been in the studio for the past few years.
I have always loved the mirage. The mirage has a winderful neck.
This is way better than ESP's thin tone demo.
🤘
Hey dude i have i question to you. I have an Ibanez RG1570 and i want a guitar for metal. Should i buy this LTD M1000 or should i get an ESP E-II M-II. The Esp can be hard for me but i can buy it in the future. Thanks from now if you answer to my question.
You can't go wrong with that LTD and you'll save money!
@@jasonstallworth thanks man. Probably i’m gonna buy an M1000. Thanks for your answer and the video.
do they still make this new? also so its EMG 81 and EMG 81 not EMG 85 and EMG 81?
They do have a newer version (this one I believe is their original version)
Does anyone happen to know if the LTD M-1000 with a maple fretboard is rare? I picked one up at a pawnshop that was in absolutely perfect condition last year, and I’ve seen very few with a maple fretboard. I assume LTD has some numbers of which types they built and sold... I believe mine is a 2014. Any help appreciated! My absolute favorite guitar I’ve ever owned by the way.... my next closest was an Ibanez RG 565 which I also loved. I had a Jackson dinky XL Pro that was also pretty nice.
Not sure about that one but, either way, it sounds like you have a solid guitar!
Are this jumbo stainless?
Jumbo, yes, but I don't think they're stainless (I don't have this guitar anymore). The newer MH-1000 Deluxe has stainless frets: ruclips.net/video/8dcZhgIj6QY/видео.html
I've never played an ESP that didn't play like butter or an LTD that didn't punch way above it's weight class. But, I just can't, for the life of me, understand why the powers that be at ESP have kept the obscenely fugly 12th fret inlay. The only guitar that can display a script on a block 12th fret inlay is a guitar that has block inlays to begin with. I'm ready to drop $2K on an ESP USA M-II NTB FR but, it doesn't have dot abalone inlays.
I never really paid much attention to the inlays. But yeah, all ESPs/LTDs give a nice punch
@@jasonstallworth I'm gonna have to eventually just pony up and get a KH-II. We only live once...
@@newgunguy4176 might as well do it!
Если на гитаре с завода установлен сет датчиков ЕМG 81 в бридже и ЕМG 81 в неке это абсолютно одинаковые датчики или отличаются по выхлопу?
They are both the same, I think
@@jasonstallworth нет разницы по громкости, когда идёт переключение между датчиками?
What song are you playing at the beginning of the video......Thanks!!!!
That's actually a song I had just written and it will more than likely go on my next album (most all of the music you hear in my videos is original).
If you like that, you'll definitely like my latest album Masterpeace! In fact, you can get some free song downloads from me here: www.jasonstallworth.com/join/
Jason Stallworth I just pulled the trigger on a LTD M-1000 Deluxe through Reverb!!!!! I had an ESP M-1 that was neck thru with skull and bones inlays at one time.......regretting getting rid of that guitar........also had a Jackson USA Snakeskin Soloist.......will definitely check out you albums!!!!!
Im thinking about this guitar and schecter hellraiser c1 :D which is better?
Couldn't tell you as I've never played that guitar. I do know that Schecter guitars have thicker necks (ESPs, too, but just slightly thinner) whereas Ibanez RGs have thinner necks, so that's something to think about when choosing a guitar...see what type of neck fits your hands best
@@jasonstallworth i have one ibanez rg and its very Good but more for rock i need a Black metal guitar hehe
Is this Randy Savage Sans glasses and bandana?
😅 🤘
Question is the tone switch only capable to control one pick up or both?
There's only the 1 tone switch which I believe impacts both pickups (it's not something I ever use though)
Jason Stallworth thanks man
Hi how you going you remind me a lot of myself I’m just like you my first real Guitar is a cort EVL K4 which has EMG-HZ which is really wicked pick up sounds great very hard-core and made for metal I love the car it’s one of those guitars that you look at it and you just have to pick it up and it makes you feel good every time you do can you just say it’s a beast I love this one it’s quite a fast playing guitar I think and I like it feel free to do a review and let me know what you think I love the guitar it’s a great guitar it makes you want to play and is a pleasure to play i’ve got a Jackson bass my first real proper bass that makes you want to pick it up and play it’s such a pleasure to play I love my Jacksons to I haven’t played really any BC Rich could you tell her you On one of these I find Max Jackson play very well even the cheapies and they sound great I think Jackson have a good range from cheap to expensive and even the cheap ones I still pretty good I give you a good bang for your buck And they sound great
Awesome stuff, brother!
Oh, and if you don't have my free practice guide, grab that here: www.jasonstallworth.com/guitarist/
Can you drop tune with a Floyd rose?
Yes, you'll just need to be aware of how to set it up for that tuning and string gauge difference. It's good to learn that, but me personally, I have a pro set it up initially
Do they still sell these?
Yea but I believe there are some slight difference between the new and what I have. Still a great guitar though
Really cool guitar :3
I cant find this guitar for sale anywhere, only in whit and it doesn't have that sick binding anyone point me in the right direction??????
Teacup in a shitstorm bruh This particular model is hard to find
Would you say this would be a better or similar option compared to the ESp LTD KH-602?
I would say they're specwise just about identical to the 602 other than the finish and the inlays.
Price aprox the guitar please 🙌🏻
New, these things are around $1000 but I bought mine for $600 used (this was back in 2009). I also have a video on more guitars around that price range here: ruclips.net/video/tA7o5fhPFco/видео.html
This model has a floyd rose original or 1000 ? And it is made in korea?
it's a Floyd and yes, Korea
it has a Floyd Rose 1000 series. The earliest M-1000s LTD made had the Original Floyd Rose.
how much is one of these?
I actually parted ways with this guitar and here's why: ruclips.net/video/t56J-BbStNQ/видео.html
How would this compare to a KH-602?
Dude, I have no clue.I've never played that one
@@jasonstallworth Alright
Got one on the way! 2014 model. 😎
Damnit don't review the m one grand its on perpetual back order
I actually have a recent video with that and 2 more new LTDs here: ruclips.net/video/p7i9UG41m9I/видео.htmlsi=7ZgcOBpxIKrEtJk9
What about less gain genres like rock?
It's perfect for that as well! You can get some really great tones with lower gain

Jason
You have talked so much again
Shut up and play dude
Mehmet Ali islamtürk 😂 what? You don’t like the soothing sound of m voice? Lol
I love ESP, not a fan of Ibanez at all, I had a few Saber and S series but I love ESP, Jackson and Fender strat HSS.

Hi bro. May i know when is the official release date of this guitar model?
