ESP LTD ARROW-1000 QM, Charcoal Burst Satin

Full Description

Looks that thrill

Absolutely stunning. Sporting an arrow shaped, angular body, this ESP boasts a razor-sharp aesthetic that deserves attention. The mahogany body shows off a high-class quilted maple top that's finished in the vivacious charcoal burst pattern. It's a design as menacing as the sound it produces. But aside from its cool appearance, you're given extra room to express those high note solos thanks to a cutaway in the body.

Ferocious Fishman Fluence pickups

Multiple voicings, crisp articulation and precision engineering are all found in these outstanding pickups. These humbuckers were born to push sonic boundaries, and that's what the SN-1000HT does. It roars with an expansive voice thanks to Fishman ceramic in the bridge and the Fishman alnico at the neck. Unleash raw, brutal sounds through the bridge humbucker, it uses ceramic magnets to provide a flamethrower tone that turns up the heat. Switch it to Voice 2 for a passive ceramic sound, and a slightly altered attack.

The Fishman alnico mounted at the neck position adds even more dynamics to the impressive SN-1000HT. Constructed with alnico V magnets it evokes a rounded, fat cadence. It's boosted and articulate and gives you a wider frequency to augment the piercing bridge pickup. Activate Voice 2 on the neck for a thinner humbucker tone. It approaches a single-coil sound yet is still crisp and defined, adding further to the astounding possibilities with this high end ESP.

Innovate your sound with a Floyd Rose

Excite your audience. Whammy bars let you accent your leads with a flourish, or finesse cleans with a mystical vibrato. And the locking Floyd Rose 1000 installed on the M-1 Custom '87 is one of the best in the business. Enjoy superb accuracy and solid tuning reliability from one of the leading tremolo manufacturers out there. So, you can divebomb and pitch bend to the extreme without fear of your sound slipping. It's going to be your secret weapon to command the spotlight.

Let the riffs roll

...On a maple neck that's profiled for blistering speed. You'll be able to play for hours without tiring on an extra thin U-shaped neck. It's crafted to allow your hand the freedom to position at pace, so you can transition around the registers seamlessly. This is only enhanced by the sumptuous ebony fretboard that's slicker than slick. Dark in tone and colour, it's a naturally oily wood which will let your riffs fly at a blistering tempo. Equipped with 24 extra jumbo stainless-steel frets, you're able to perform jaw dropping string bends without fretting out. They also provide a low action point for your strings, enabling quick chording and an effortless feel.

But this guitar is meant for the stage, and so ESP have built the neck to perform with power. It's made from three layers of maple to give it astounding durability and resistance to warping so you can keep the rock flowing. Using a neck-through-body construction, you'll achieve stunning sustain and have ample room at the top frets for those soaring solos.
