Sound Pure's Take
The LTD MV-1000 is a modern performance guitar designed for players who demand speed, precision, and uncompromising reliability. Its alder body and roasted maple neck create a lively, balanced response, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard, extra-thin U profile, and 27 stainless steel frets provide exceptional comfort for technical playing. Seymour Duncan pickups offer everything from aggressive humbucker power to articulate split-coil tones, and the Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo delivers expressive performance with dependable tuning stability. Finished in striking Pearl White, the MV-1000 combines cutting-edge playability with premium components, making it an outstanding choice for the modern guitarist.
From ESP Guitars
The LTD Deluxe MV-1000 marks the long-awaited addition of the ESP Maverick shape to the LTD Series, and it comes in a design that’s perfect for professional guitar players who require the versatile tones, smooth playability, and complete reliability for serious recording and touring needs. The MV-1000 offers smooth, flowing curves and a slightly asymmetrical shape that truly stands out from the crowd of typical guitars. It offers bolt-on construction at 24.75” scale, making it incredibly easy to do huge string bends and dive-bombs with the Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws. Crafted with an alder body and a three-piece extra-thin U-shaped roasted maple neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard, reversed matching-finish headstock, and 27 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, this guitar is ready to assist you in doing the most expressive lead guitar work in your life. Components on the MV-1000 include black hardware, Grover tuners, and a uniquely superb direct-mounted Seymour Duncan pickup set with an ESP-exclusive Custom 14 TB in the bridge position, with coil-splitting via push-pull control, and a Hot Rails in the neck.
