Overview

A metal electric guitar with razor-clear high gain.

The ESP LTD Mick Thomson MT-I electric guitar is built for players who demand precision, durability and uncompromising performance. Featuring a mahogany body with a white ash top and an Obsidian Metallic finish, this guitar presents a bold visual profile paired with a focused tonal foundation. Its set-thru construction and 25.5" scale length provide strong sustain and a solid playing feel, while the Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup delivers sharp articulation and controlled output. Designed for stage and studio use alike, the MT-I is built to handle intense playing styles with consistency. A fitted ESP hardshell form-fit case is included for protection and transport.

Fishman Fluence Pickups for Precise High-Gain Control

The MT-I is equipped with a Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup designed to deliver multiple voicings with clarity and definition. A 3-way toggle switch and push-pull volume control provide access to aggressive high-gain tones as well as clean articulate sounds. This pickup system maintains note separation under heavy distortion, keeping riffs tight and leads clearly defined.

Precision Hardware for Reliable Performance

This guitar features premium hardware selected for stability and consistency. Hipshot Grip-Lock locking tuners provide dependable tuning stability, while the Hipshot Hi-Mass hardtail bridge supports sustain and accurate intonation. A Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut completes the setup, helping the instrument remain reliable during demanding rehearsals and performances.

Neck and Fingerboard Built for Controlled Playability

The three-piece maple neck is paired with a Richlite fingerboard for a smooth controlled playing surface. A compound radius and 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets support fluid transitions across the neck for rhythm and lead work. Blue Luminlay side markers improve visibility on dark stages, keeping fretboard reference clear during performance.

Durable Construction With Purposeful Materials

Set-thru construction joins the maple neck securely to the mahogany body, enhancing sustain and structural strength. The white ash top adds clarity and visual contrast, while the Obsidian Metallic finish completes a design built to withstand regular use. Every element is selected to support long-term reliability and consistent performance.
