Across its 3-piece neck, Gotoh locking tuners, extra-thin neck, and a fire-and-brimstone finish, the ESP USA M-I NTB NT pulls no punches in its dynamic deliverance of sheer sonic sorcery.Forged-in-fire foundations Utilizing a set-through construction, the luthiers of ESP USA’s North Hollywood craft house spared no effort in outfitting this M-I NTB NT with a ferocious foundation. Anchoring your tone, mahogany wings adorn a maple core, with the former tonewood’s characteristic overtone-rich and harmonically complex profile complementing the shimmering warmth and full-spectrum brightness of the latter. In the neck, maple’s aural properties are multiplied, thanks to its natural note-separating attributes that ensure every manner of lick, lead, riff, and chord is impeccably voiced. An ebony fretboard completes the tonal triumvirate, renowned for its resounding sustain, bell-like precision, and flexible yet focused power in every register.Electrifying EMG sonics: the best of active and passive potential If we could describe this ESP USA M-I NTB NT in a word? Powerhouse. Thanks to its lone, bridge-mounted humbucker, the M-I is built to churn out high-octane haymakers, and ESP knew precisely who would get the job done: EMG. Teeming with electrifying character, an active 81X pickup promises power, precision, presence, and a whole lotta panache. Its design comprises galvanizing ceramic and steel magnets paired with close-aperture coils, while the 25k volume pot and X series preamp outfit your tone to summit voltaic peaks of sonic possibility that extend far beyond the realms of the traditional EMG 81. With greater headroom, an expanded dynamic range, more transparency, and enhanced definition that marries the best of both worlds: the evocative slice-through-the-mix tones of an active design with the pliability and subtlety of a passive pickup.Primed to ignite the night To send this speed demon roaring through the studio or the stage, ESP built this M-I to withstand the most grueling of long-haul woodshedding and all-night fretboard fireworks, and it all starts with the neck. Complementing the axe’s set-through design, the use of a 3-piece neck delivers a dyad of performance power: not only does this expand the harmonic complexity of your foundational tones, but this construction method increases the dimensional stability of the M-I’s neck, thereby amplifying its resilience to twisting or warping, making it a world tour-worthy road warrior. Up top, 24 frets sprawl the fingerboard’s 12-inch radius, while an Extra Thin U-shape neck profile — satin-finished, of course — blends speed, power, and precision into an ultra-fast experience that accommodates countless playstyles, though excels with the most demanding performance pyrotechnics. Gotoh Magnum Lock-Trad tuners and a Tone Pros Locking TOM string-thru bridge bookend the strings’ 25.5-inch scale, coupled graphite reinforcements in the neck, all of which collectively ensure your tones are locked into tune, buzz-free, and brimming with latent tone-crafting possibilities.The ESP USA series employs the finest materials from around the world ESP started as a manufacturer of aftermarket guitar parts in Japan in the late 1970s. By the mid-’80s, ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye toward playability and craftsmanship has made ESP Guitars one of the most visible and prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. In 2014, ESP opened its first US-based production factory. It’s there that the company crafts its acclaimed ESP USA series guitars by hand, using the finest materials from around the world. George Lynch, Ron Wood, Sammy Duet, Kirk Hammett, and Gary Holt (and a bunch of us here at Sweetwater) rely on ESP guitars both onstage and in the studio.ESP USA M-I NTB NT Features: Hand-forged by ESP USA’s master luthiers at the company’s North Hollywood, CA-based craft house Set-through maple body and mahogany wings conjure shimmering, full-spectrum warmth, rich harmonics, and blossoming overtones for a balanced, powerful foundation Maple neck imbues your sound with tremendous note separation and brightness, keeping chords, leads, licks, and riffs impeccably voiced Ebony fingerboard supplies near-endless sustain, with powerful, sonorous voicing in every register that doesn’t sacrifice definition for presence EMG 81X and X series preamp deliver a galvanizing suite of tones, ample headroom, and crystalline transparency for the best active-pickup action and passive-pickup pliability Extra thin U-shape neck supports countless playstyles with immense speed, exacting precision, and adaptable comfort 3-piece neck design maximizes dimensional stability to increase resilience to twisting and warping Gotoh Magnum Lock-Trad locking tuners and Tone Pros TOM string-through bridge ensure rock-solid tuning and buzz-free performance SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 6 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Type Solidbody Body Shape M-I Body Material Mahogany Wings Color Hellfire Body Finish Gloss Polyurethane Neck Material 3-piece Maple Neck Shape Extra Thin U Neck Joint Neck-through Radius 12" Fingerboard Material Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Offset Micro Blocks Number of Frets 24, Extra Jumbo, Stainless Steel Scale Length 25.5" Nut Width 1.653" Nut Material Bone Bridge/Tailpiece TonePros Locking TOM with String-through Tuners Gotoh Locking Bridge Pickup EMG 81 Humbucker Controls 1 x master volume Strings D'Addario, .009-.042 Case/Gig Bag Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
