Guitars in the LTD 1000 Series are designed to offer the tone, feel, looks and quality that working professional musicians need in an instrument, along with the pricing that typical musicians can still afford. The M-1001 is a serious player's guitar that employs a set-thru, extra thin-U shaped 3 pc. maple neck for the ultimate in shredding on its 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. This guitar's fast feel is complemented by its dual EMG 81 Metalworks active pickups, with the resulting aggressive tone you need, and a Floyd Rose bridge. Its alder body has a flamed maple top that's finished in great-looking See Thru Black.
