ESP USA M-I NT Black Sparkle

ESP USA M-I NT Black Sparkle
Serial Number: US26996
Weight: 7.48 lbs.

The ESP USA M-I NT in Black Sparkle is a USA Custom Shop, neck-through-body metal machine, built with a 3-piece maple neck running straight through mahogany wings for maximum sustain and rock-solid stability, finished in eye-catching gloss Black Sparkle from the body through to the matching headstock. At 7.48 lbs., it's light enough for extended stage use, with the density and resonance neck-through construction delivers.

The neck carries ESP's Extra Thin U shape (19mm/.748" at the 1st fret, 21mm/.826" at the 12th) for a fast, low-profile feel, joined to an ebony fretboard with pearl split-rectangle inlays, a 12.01" (305mm) radius, and 24 extra jumbo Jescar stainless steel frets across the 25.5" scale for effortless bends and shred-ready access to the upper register. A 43mm (1.69") R3 locking nut leads to Gotoh Magnum locking tuners, keeping tuning rock-solid under aggressive playing, and a recessed TonePros T3BT locking Tune-O-Matic with string-thru-body construction adds extra sustain and stability, all set against black hardware.

A single Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker in the bridge delivers active, high-output tone with exceptional clarity and tightness under high gain, controlled by a single volume knob and a push/pull tone control that splits the coils for thinner, single-coil-voiced tones when you want them. Built for metal and hard rock players who want a streamlined, no-nonsense control layout and maximum output without extra switching to think about, this M-I NT is ready for the stage or the studio. It ships in a hardshell case (Serial #US26996). Order today from Brian's Guitars, your authorized ESP dealer.
