{"product_id":"esp-ltd-m-155-ebony-2000s","title":"ESP LTD M-155 Ebony 2000s","description":"\u003cp\u003eA seriously cool example of the Korean-made ESP LTD M-155, dating from the early ’00s and finished in classic Ebony. The M-155 is a great example of the early LTD M-Series, combining the familiar super-Strat styling with a lightweight basswood body, bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, giving it the fast, comfortable feel these guitars are known for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular example has been upgraded with a pair of EMG active humbuckers, giving it a significantly more powerful and aggressive voice than the original specification. The EMGs work particularly well with the M-155's naturally fast and responsive character, making this a very capable rock and metal guitar with plenty of output, clarity and attack. The controls remain nice and straightforward with a single volume, tone control and three-way pickup selector.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25.5\" scale maple neck features a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with classic dot inlays, providing plenty of range and making the guitar equally comfortable for rhythm work and lead playing. Completing the package is the original-style Floyd Rose licensed locking tremolo, giving the M-155 the dive-bombing and pitch-bending capabilities you'd expect from a guitar of this era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a Korean-made early-2000s LTD, this is a particularly appealing example of the M-155, with the construction and specification associated with the earlier generation of LTD guitars. The EMG upgrade adds another dimension to what is already a very versatile platform and gives this particular example its own character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is very good overall, with some staining\/discolouration to the neck and a number of minor chips, dings and marks to the body, all consistent with the age of the instrument and its previous use. Nothing excessive, and it presents very well for a guitar of this age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great-looking early Korean LTD with classic M-Series styling, a fast 24-fret neck, Floyd Rose-style tremolo and a serious EMG active pickup upgrade. A very cool player's guitar with plenty of early-2000s ESP\/LTD character.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492224082295,"sku":"G4857","price":499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/2672\/6709\/files\/G4857_01.jpg?v=1790425743","url":"https:\/\/motomusic.co.uk\/products\/esp-ltd-m-155-ebony-2000s","provider":"MotoMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
