zZounds Gear Experts Say...
Shred like the '80s never went away with the M1 Custom 87. A Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6 humbucker is all you need on this Floyd Rose 1000-loaded guitar.

What's special about this item?

Feature: What it does:
Alder body Light weight with a wide tonal range
Maple neck Bright tone, full sustain and strength
Macassar ebony fretboard High-density wood; smooth playing feel
Extra Jumbo frets Larger frets for easier bends and improved feel

While ESP first got started in 1975 as a small repair shop in Tokyo, it was toward the mid-'80s when their 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 Floyd Rose 1000 bridge without a recess route, a single Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6 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.

This guitar plays like a dream. Mine has a nice and dark fretboard that is sooth as glass. The Duncan Distortion will melt faces. Not a huge fan of the EMG boost circuit, but it doesn't take anything away from the guitar by being there.
