Built for Extreme Underground Metal
Thanks to its menacing design, the ESP M-Black Metal looks as sinister as it sounds. It features an all-black finish, components, and hardware, and its Macassar ebony fingerboard boasts no inlays. In fact, the only thing preventing the M-Black Metal from disappearing into blackness is a series of glow-in-the-dark side markers. As for sound, this axe was built for extreme underground metal. A Seymour Duncan Black Winter bridge humbucker spews out grinding cacophony like nothing you've heard before, while neck-thru-body construction gives you long-lasting sustain and excellent articulation. And the M-Black Metal was made to last, sharing the same build quality as ESP's LTD Deluxe 1000 series.

Seymour Duncan Black Winter humbucker delivers grime and grind
Seymour Duncan characterizes their Black Winter humbucker as being "extreme as the Scandinavian winter." The guitarists here at Sweetwater find that to be an apt description. Tailor-made for black metal, death metal — basically any extreme subgenre of metal — this pickup is jam-packed with grime and grind, yielding crushing distortion, punishing mids, and aggressive saturation. The M-Black Metal's Black Winter bridge humbucker is mounted directly to the guitar’s body to increase its presence and resonance.
