With the ESP LTD Mick Thomson MT-I Obsidian Metallic, ESP presents an uncompromising signature instrument that is fully tailored to the requirements of the Slipknot guitarist. The MT-I is not just a guitar - it is a metal vision of precision, power and modern playability. Whether in the studio, on stage or in the practice room, this guitar guarantees maximum control over your sound.
The MT-I is based on the well-known MH-style body design with an arched top and eye-catching reversed inline headstock. Its elegant obsidian metallic finish perfectly accentuates the aggressive design, while the high-quality hardware and electronics ensure performance at the highest level. Every detail, from the special fingerboard radius to the hipshot bridge and the Fishman Fluence pickup, is precisely tailored to Mick's playing style - making it ideal for all modern metal guitarists.
ESP is known worldwide for its high-quality instruments, which have been specially developed for rock and metal guitarists. The LTD Signature series brings this experience directly into the hands of musicians looking for reliable, professional guitars with a unique character. The MT-I exemplifies the interplay of technical innovation, first-class workmanship and artistic vision.
The close collaboration with Mick Thomson has resulted in an instrument that perfectly reflects his uncompromising precision and toughness - made for brute riffs, razor-sharp leads and intense stage shows.
The MT-I uses a set-thru construction in which the neck and body are seamlessly joined together. This not only improves access to the high registers, but also ensures long-lasting sustain and an exceptionally direct response. The 25.5" scale length offers perfect string tension, even at lower tunings.
The body is made of mahogany and is complemented by an arched top made of white ash - a combination that delivers both fat mids and brilliant highs. The three-piece maple neck with a thin U-profile is designed for fast, precise playing. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with its 305 mm compound radius and 24 medium jumbo frets made of stainless steel offers a playable, durable surface.
The blue Luminlay side markers ensure additional playing safety, guaranteeing the best visibility even in dark stage lighting conditions. The Graph Tech TUSQ XL Black nut rounds off the setup perfectly and ensures clear sound transmission and clean intonation.
At the heart of the brute sound is the Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup, which has been specially tuned to his sound preferences. Three different voicings can be selected via the low-profile 3-way toggle switch:
Maximum tuning stability is ensured by Hipshot Grip Lock Locking Open Gear tuners in combination with the Hipshot Hi-Mass Hardtail Bridge made of brass. This ensures excellent vibration transmission and a powerful tone with long sustain. The entire hardware is finished in stylish black and blends seamlessly into the aggressive design of the MT-I.
The guitar is strung with D'Addario XL110 strings at the factory and comes with a custom-fit ESP hard case to protect the instrument - whether on tour or in the studio.
The ESP LTD Mick Thomson MT-I is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a signature instrument with uncompromising performance. Its high-quality construction, state-of-the-art pickup technology and first-class hardware make it the ideal tool for extreme playing styles. Whether aggressive rhythm work or precise lead lines - the MT-I delivers without compromise.
With its high-quality workmanship, sophisticated features and striking design, the MT-I stands out from conventional guitars and offers everything you need for modern, professional metal performance. Developed by one of the toughest guitarists in the world - built for those who mean business.
