Built for crushing precision and uncompromising performance, the ESP LTD Mick Thomson MT-1 is a direct reflection of one of metal’s most formidable guitarists. As the longtime guitarist for Slipknot, Mick Thomson is known for his tight, aggressive tone and surgical playing style, and this signature model is engineered to deliver exactly that. Updated for 2026 with a sleek Black Satin finish, the MT-1 combines brutal aesthetics with refined craftsmanship, making it a powerful tool for modern metal players.

The tonewood pairing of a mahogany body and white ash top delivers a balanced yet aggressive voice, with tight lows, punchy mids, and articulate highs. Its set-thru construction enhances sustain and upper fret access, while the three-piece maple neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard provide a fast, smooth playing experience. Designed to meet Mick’s exacting standards, this guitar includes premium components like a Hipshot Hi-Mass bridge, locking tuners, and stainless steel frets for maximum durability and stability under intense playing conditions.

At the heart of its sound is the Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup, offering multiple voicings that range from tight and percussive to full and aggressive. With intuitive controls and advanced tonal shaping options, this guitar adapts effortlessly to a wide range of heavy styles. Complete with a deluxe ESP hardshell case, the MT-1 is a professional-grade instrument ready for stage and studio. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
