ESP LTD Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 Black

The ESP LTD MSV-1 Mike Schleibaum Signature Black Gloss at a glance:

With the LTD MSV-1, ESP is sending a revised version of Mike Schleibaum's (Darkest Hour) signature guitar into the race. Based on the aggressive Arrow design, the MSV-1 combines an uncompromising metal aesthetic with first-class features and an assertive sound signature. The mahogany body is complemented by a full-length mahogany neck, which guarantees exceptional sustain and direct response. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with pearloid block inlays and 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets provides an optimal playing surface for precise leads and fast riffs. Visually, the MSV-1 has a black gloss finish with elegant golden hardware. The Grover tuners and Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo ensure maximum tuning stability, even after extreme tremolo use. In terms of sound, the MSV-1 is built for absolute assertiveness: a single EMG JH James Hetfield humbucker with gold cover delivers brute power, articulated highs, and a defined midrange, making it perfect for precise rhythm work and expressive lead playing. The LTD MSV-1 is supplied in a custom-fit ESP hardshell form-fit case so that it is optimally protected for live and studio use.
