The LTD Black Metal Series are guitars that are comparable in build quality to our LTD Deluxe '1000 Series' instruments, but with a dark and menacing design theme of all-black finish, components, and hardware, a single premium-quality pickup, Macassar ebony fingerboards with no inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, and even a newly-designed black metal LTD logo on the headstock.

The M-Black Metal is based on the design off the ESP M-I FR.

It's a neck-thru-body design at 25.5' scale, and includes a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge.

The M Black Metal also makes use of the direct-mount Seymour Duncan 'Blackened' Black Winter pickup, controlled by a single volume knob.
