The ESP LTD M7-HT Baritone Black Metal is the hardtail version of the Black Metal M Series guitar with a neck-thru-body design that features a Hipshot bridge with string-thru body setup for sweet sustain and stability. It also features the special single direct-mounted Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter passive pickup for brutal tones and excellent dynamics. A push-pull control allows the pickup to be coil split. Like other Black Metal models, this new guitar has an unadorned Macassar ebony fingerboard, but offers glow-in-the-dark side dots to help you find where you're going.
