Multi-scale fingerboard helps improve performance
For unparalleled performance, the LTD M-1000MS has a mirror-smooth ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets in a multi-scale configuration. A multi-scale fingerboard assigns each string its own scale length that's longer on the bass side and shorter on the treble side. This yields better intonation, consistent tension, and equal attack between strings. This helps keep your lowest strings tight for accurate riffing while keeping the treble strings loose enough to bend easily. If you need a guitar that can deliver a thunderous low-end chug as easily as it can rip a solo, you'll be delighted with the LTD M-1000MS.
5-piece maple/purpleheart neck plays effortlessly
There's more to love about the M-1000MS than its multi-scale frets. It has a 5-piece neck that you'll absolutely adore. Made from alternating plies of maple and purpleheart, this neck showcases some serious stability and sustain. The neck is carved into LTD's Thin "U" profile to promote playing speed and unmatched comfort. You'll be impressed from the moment you pick it up for the first time.
Seymour Duncan pickups bring the pain
The LTD M-1000MS is powered by a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups. These passive humbuckers feature large ceramic magnets that deliver some impressive high-gain tones with a tight low end and a punchy midrange. In the neck position, the Seymour Duncan Sentient pickup adds PAF-style harmonic complexity, while the Nazgul bridge pickup has a searing hot high-gain voicing. The push-pull tone knob activates coil splitting to give you extra tonal versatility.
