ESP LTD Deluxe MV-1000 Electric Guitar - Pearl White | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The ESP LTD Deluxe MV-1000 in Pearl White brings the long-awaited ESP Maverick body shape to the LTD lineup in a professional-grade package built for serious recording and touring guitarists. Combining an alder body, roasted maple neck, and a direct-mounted Seymour Duncan pickup set with a Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo, the MV-1000 is engineered for expressive lead playing, aggressive tremolo use, and versatile tone in equal measure. This is a standout instrument for advanced and professional players who want something that performs as distinctively as it looks.
Product Overview
The MV-1000 is built on an alder body with smooth, flowing curves and a slightly asymmetrical Maverick silhouette that sets it apart from conventional guitar shapes. The Pearl White gloss finish with a reversed matching-finish headstock gives the guitar a cohesive, refined appearance, while black hardware throughout adds a sharp visual contrast. Alder is well regarded for its balanced, clear tone with defined highs and a tight low end — a natural fit for the wide range of styles this guitar is designed to handle.
The three-piece roasted maple neck is shaped into an Extra Thin U profile and joins the alder body via a bolt-on construction at 24.75" scale — a shorter scale length that makes wide bends and tremolo dives feel natural and low-effort. The Macassar ebony fingerboard carries a 350mm radius and is equipped with 27 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, extending the upper register further than most guitars while keeping the playing surface smooth and fast.
Electronics are where the MV-1000 truly distinguishes itself. A direct-mounted Seymour Duncan Custom 14 TB occupies the bridge position — an ESP-exclusive design delivering high output with exceptional clarity — while a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails in the neck provides focused, hum-free single-coil-sized humbucker tone. A push-pull volume control activates coil-splitting on the bridge pickup for added tonal range, and a 3-way toggle rounds out the straightforward but effective control layout. Grover tuners and a Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws complete a hardware package built for stability under the most demanding playing conditions.

- Professional and advanced guitarists seeking a unique body shape with touring- and studio-grade components
- Lead players who demand a fast, expressive electric guitar with a double-locking tremolo for aggressive whammy use
- Players who want Seymour Duncan humbucker versatility with coil-splitting in a single instrument
- Studio recording guitarists looking for a balanced alder-body tone with a wide pickup voice range
- Idaho Falls guitar players searching for a high-spec ESP LTD Deluxe with a distinctive, eye-catching design
Key Features
ESP-Exclusive Seymour Duncan Custom 14 TB Bridge Pickup The direct-mounted Custom 14 TB is a high-output humbucker designed in collaboration between ESP and Seymour Duncan, delivering clarity and articulation even at high gain levels. The push-pull volume knob activates coil-splitting for a single-coil character when a cleaner, thinner tone is needed.
Seymour Duncan Hot Rails Neck Pickup The Hot Rails is a single-coil-sized humbucker that provides warm, hum-free output at the neck position. Its focused midrange and smooth high end make it an excellent complement to the aggressive bridge pickup character.
Floyd Rose 1000SE Double-Locking Tremolo The Floyd Rose 1000SE locks strings at both the nut and the bridge saddles, keeping the guitar in tune through even the most extreme tremolo use. Stainless steel screws throughout add durability and long-term reliability compared to standard hardware.
Three-Piece Roasted Maple Extra Thin U Neck Roasting the maple neck enhances its stability and moisture resistance while giving it a slightly warmer tonal character than unroasted maple. The Extra Thin U profile is one of the fastest-playing neck shapes available, designed for players who prioritize speed and mobility across the full length of the fingerboard.
27-Fret Macassar Ebony Fingerboard With three more frets than a standard 24-fret guitar, the MV-1000's fingerboard pushes the upper range further for extended lead work. The 350mm radius (approximately 13.8") is comfortably flat for bending, and the stainless steel extra-jumbo frets offer long-lasting durability and a smooth, slick playing feel.
