Overview

Command the stage with this signature metal masterpiece.

The ESP LTD Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 electric guitar is a high-performance instrument designed for players who demand exceptional tone, versatility, and playability. This signature model, crafted in collaboration with Darkest Hour guitarist Mike Schleibaum, features a sleek single-cutaway design, a neck-thru-body construction, and a Floyd Rose tremolo system, making it ideal for a wide range of playing styles, from aggressive metal to soaring leads and clean, articulate passages.

 

Mahogany Body with Maple Cap for a Resonant and Balanced Tone

The Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 features a mahogany body with a maple cap, a combination of tonewoods that delivers a warm and resonant tone with a balanced frequency response. The mahogany body provides a solid foundation with a rich midrange and focused low-end, while the maple cap adds clarity and articulation to the high end. This combination creates a versatile tonal platform that's equally suited for heavy riffs, soaring leads, and clean, articulate chords.

 

EMG JH James Hetfield Humbucker for Aggressive Power and Clarity

This signature electric guitar is equipped with an EMG JH James Hetfield Humbucker in the bridge position, designed to deliver a powerful and aggressive sound with exceptional clarity and definition. This signature pickup, developed in collaboration with Metallica's James Hetfield, offers a hot output and a tight, focused response that's perfect for metal and hard rock. The brushed gold cover adds a touch of elegance to the guitar's aesthetic.

 

Macassar Ebony Fingerboard and Comfortable Neck Profile for Effortless Playability

The MSV-1 features a Macassar ebony fingerboard that's known for its smooth feel and fast response. This premium fingerboard material adds a touch of "snap" to the attack, enhancing the guitar's overall clarity and articulation. The comfortable neck profile provides exceptional comfort and speed, allowing for effortless transitions across the fretboard. With its 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, this guitar is built for both speed and precision.

 

Premium Features and a Striking Finish

The ESP LTD Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 is adorned with premium features that enhance its performance and aesthetics. The gold hardware complements the guitar's elegant design, while the Grover tuners ensure smooth and precise tuning. The Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo system provides exceptional tuning stability, allowing you to perform dive bombs and expressive vibrato techniques without fear of going out of tune. The guitar's Black Gloss finish is a striking visual statement that's sure to turn heads on stage. With its combination of exceptional tone, aggressive pickup, and comfortable playability, the MSV-1 is a true performer's instrument.
