ESP Guitars is once again making waves in the metal community with the LTD Deluxe M-1000 Maple, a high-performance electric guitar meticulously crafted for serious players who demand uncompromising speed, devastating tone, and unwavering reliability. This formidable instrument, now prominently featured in a blistering new demo by LuÃs Kalil, the powerhouse guitarist from Red Devil Vortex, fuses classic metal aesthetics with modern playability.-
Unleashing Sonic Fury: LuÃs Kalil Showcases the M-1000 Maple’s Prowess
The LTD Deluxe M-1000 Maple is built for pure sonic aggression. Its striking gloss Black finish, complemented by assertive Black binding on both the neck and headstock, projects a clean yet menacing vibe that’s instantly recognizable. LuÃs Kalil’s recent demo vividly illustrates the guitar’s capabilities, from searing leads to crushing rhythms, proving why it’s quickly becoming a go-to for contemporary metal guitarists.
Precision Engineering for Demanding Performance
At its core, the M-1000 Maple boasts an Alder body paired with a three-piece Maple neck, meticulously constructed with bolt-on design at a 25.5″ scale. This configuration is engineered for exceptional articulation, making it ideal for both intricate riffs and fluid soloing.
The Maple fingerboard is a lead guitarist’s dream, featuring 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, a compound radius, and a unique scalloped section from frets 17 to 24.
This innovative design provides enhanced grip and flexibility, facilitating extreme bends and effortless upper-register acrobatics.
Hardware Built for Stability and Versatility
Tuning stability and expressive range are paramount for the modern guitarist, and the LTD M-1000 Maple delivers on all fronts. It features a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo system with durable stainless screws, ensuring rock-solid performance even during the most aggressive dive bombs. Complementing this, Grover tuners provide precise and reliable tuning.
The true firepower of the M-1000 Maple comes from its direct-mount Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers. This powerful pickup combination — a ceramic in the bridge and an alnico in the neck — offers an expansive tonal palette, from crushing high-gain distortion to crystal-clear cleans and everything in between.
With intuitive push-pull controls, players can access three distinct voicings per pickup, transforming the M-1000 into a true tonal chameleon capable of adapting to any musical style.
