ESP LTD Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 Signature Electric Guitar - Black

Transcending contemporary melodic death metal standards as Darkest Hour’s designated lead and rhythm guitarist, Mike Schleibaum could only be celebrated in one way: ESP’s LTD Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 signature electric guitar. Platformed on Mike’s favored body style via maple-capped mahogany, the MSV-1 supplies potent tone all by itself. However, armed with an EMG JH pickup in the bridge position, opportunities to reach Mike’s metal-fueled prowess expand tenfold. Additional modern appointments, including a Floyd Rose 1000 tailpiece, gold hardware, Grover tuning machines, and a locking nut, solidify the MSV-1 as one of Music Bliss most authentic, standout signatures. Take this axe for a test ride, and you’ll see exactly what we mean.
