After watching one your reviews a few years ago, I purchased the ESP LTD 1000T CTM. The EMG 81/85s still scream pinched harmonics. ESP produces great guitars. Thanks for the review.
@@thetonekingofficial Hi,I like vary much your video of LTD MH 1000 ET and And I prishe aited all your video Thanks vary much for your explain in this video I baying this guitar.
I own this guitar and despite not having a tremolo, this guitar is the best I've owned. I wish ESP would make an MH with a Wilkinson bridge or a bridge similar to those found on the Ibanez AZ series (no locking nut, more range than a standard tremolo). A splittable bridge humbucker and a single coil for the neck would be the best setup. Similar to this year's LTD model black cherry fade MH1000HS this year but with different pickups, different bridge.
The Evertune bridge definitely looks interesting. I was hoping you would go into more detail on the fine tuning aspect as I am not quite certain how that works. But, I really like how one tool handles all the adjustments.
How high are the ever tunes compared to a hard tail? I do really like this guitar but I also seriously like the MH-1000 Hard tail (comes with same tuners I think, not sure about body or neck) and fishman fluence pickups. Right now I have a ESP LTD EC-1000 in vintage matte black, it plays wonderfully and I do play on keeping it cause I love les pauls and this is like a metal guys dream les paul style guitar, except it stays in tune, isn't prone to neck breakage and has EMG 81 on bridge and 60 on neck. I had an RGA for while with a hardtail and got used to playing with those, then got this guitar and as much as I love it and still want to be able to play it I want another hardtail guitar so I don't have to float my hand or rest it on the edge of the bridge cause I find it harder to be percise with switch to whatever string I'm gonna pick next if its a far jump. How hard from a tune-o-matic do you think it is height wise?
thinking of getting this as my Mick Thomson guitar, he once used 81/85 and it's simply a high quality 25.5 scale chunk of mahogany, which I think will be better than value than his signature Jackson considering this is made in Korea
I LIKE ESP/LTD, but, (OH DEAR LORD !! HERE WE GO !) that bridge takes out such a significant hunk of a guitar !! Also, I've never needed a guitar that wouldn't allow me to even vibrato a note. If someone is having a real problem with a guitar not staying in tune, it's a setup issue. Now, when playing LIVE, under hot lights etc., I'm sure it's cool, but, I have a BOSS TU-2, so....btw, TTK ROCKS !!
I mean you definitely can bend and vibrato using an ever tune. Matt Heafy has one on his guitars and he has it set tight and can still bend/vibrato....
It takes out about as much wood as your average Floyd Route. I agree, for me, the setting to prevent any and all vibrato is only useful in very situational circumstances. If I am tracking something and just want to whale on the guitar like a barbarian to try and convey that vibe without going outta tune, sure... it's great for that. I purchased this exact model last year to finally try the Evertune for myself. For me, the big thing that I was not expecting was the confidence that comes with never having to worry about your tuning. I found that I was using it over both my ESP (not LTD) guitars without it every time. Both for playing live/rehearsal and recording. All I can say is try one for yourself. You might be surprised.
That guitar must be a rhythm guitarist's dream. Looks lovely, just the pointy headstock that might put me off. I've had a few Charvel, Jackson and Ibanez guitars over the years, down to my last 90s Japanese Jackson that I need to sell; not into the Floyds or pointy headstocks any more. Sorry for going off at a tangent there TTK! That ESP is impressive and you get a great deal for your money.
Yeah!..The "EverTune " is very reliable !....I have had one since 2014 ( In one of the original " VGS - Radioactive TD-Special Pro ...the pickups are EMG 2x SLV single and 85 in bridge "...with a 24 Fret True Temperament Medium Fret System... THX for your channel.
An excellent review!! I am just about sold on this guitar. I wonder if this model is a set-neck or neck thru and what frets are we looking at here? One more question, are these locking tuners? Thanks TK..
A classic 'troll hiccup' (thanks Phil McKnight) at 2:30 'of course we LOVE passive p/ups' As far as the ever-tune I just can't see wanting to have this on multiple guitars. For a gigging instrument could be great. But as a daily driver.. still like the Floyd or a good set of locking tuners
I want an Ltd with a Floyd for my Next guitar right now I just have squier strat want to be able to play heavier music sometimes when I’m not focusing on blues and use a whammy bar still be in tune .. can’t afford an Ltd though unfortunately
Bruce Kelly don’t go straight to a floyd if you want to mess about with different tunings. You will find it annoying as fuck if you want to go from standard to drop D to Drop C etc.
Bruce Kelly I have a Squier too and just got a Jackson with a Floyd yesterday. Holy shet setting it up took me an embarrassing amount of time, but once you understand how to it's not as hard as some people say.
Hey TK (and friends) would i be able to swap the emgs with Duncan's faily easy without any changes to the pickup slot or routing? Sorry if it's a silly question.
Hey ToneKing, what do you think about the ESP LTD EC 401 with EMG 81/60 Pickups? I am a Zakk Wylde big fan so I was thinking about buying that beauty. I don’t mind about the EMG 60, I love that pickup for bluesy tones too and I use the 81 for Metal Tones. Like always, you make the best videos ever!
SDMF Bro I recommend you schecter solo ll custom, I think a better guitar for a similar price, brings compound radius 12 "to 16" which is essential for low actions without fret buzz and greater comfort in chords in the first frets and ease in leads in the frets higher than 12 fret, Mother of Pearl Blocks plus that natural color and trans black is gorgeous. Guitars made in Korea as the LTD series 1000. www.schecterguitars.com/guitars/solo-ii-custom-gloss-natural-detail You can also see the solo ll custom apocalypse reign red that is spectacular with that back translucent matte. Side dote markers glow in the dark, swamp ash body, stainless steel frets, Roman numerals. www.schecterguitars.com/guitars/solo-ii-apocalypse-red-reign-detail
@@Lucarinho thanks so much for your reply. I also never played an evertune before but considering to take my chance with it on this guitar and see if I like it or not.

I LOVE the 1000CTM . I own 2 of them :-)
CTM - Custom ToneKing Machine
i got a earlier model with the 81- 85 set ltd h-351 nt tsays in tune all day and playability is great great great guitars for the price
@@thetonekingofficial Hi,I like vary much your video of LTD MH 1000 ET
and And I prishe aited all your video
Thanks vary much for your explain in
this video I baying this guitar.
EMG 81/85 are the best for high gain no doubt. but a lot of people don't realize how good their clean is too. I love those pickups.
A really fine point to make. My ESP LTD 401FM has an EMG 81 and a 60 and the clean tone is really quite remarkable for a guitar for five hundred.

I’d love to try a guitar with the Evertune bridge and TrueTemp fanfrets... that would be a delight for recording and stay in tune.
The Evertune bridge definitely looks interesting. I was hoping you would go into more detail on the fine tuning aspect as I am not quite certain how that works. But, I really like how one tool handles all the adjustments.
Great video Tony! BTW, that’s actually an MH-1000. I’m sure you knew that!🤘
Nice & nice to see you post a video !! :)
Thanks Terry!
I love my LTD's!! Great bang for the buck.
What a beautiful guitar , modern , simple , agressive !
Thanks for your review, I would definitely get one down the road. Your playing and tone sounded great.
I haven’t played many ESP guitars but damn, that does look nice, I was always more of a Jackson guy.
Finally someone make a demo for rock n roll
Got that guitar too at sweetwater, played heavily on gigs & recordings worth every $$$ you pay!🤩🤘🤩

soo much beautiful gear in the back
Maintenance free pickups....don't EMGs require a battery??? And when the battery is dead, guitar output is dead.
Dave W some are passive emg
LOL!
With a few lemons or oranges jammed into the control cavity - you don't need a battery.
CITRUS powered! \m/
Have you tried the E-II guitars???

Sorry. I meant that "at a certain setting" you can't bend or vibrato and I don't see much need for that.

Good to see you TK ! Nice review,hope you are well ! :-)
Thanks Todd!
hey TK awesome vid! Is that just a music stand under the headrush, or you have something special holding that bad boy?
Educate us on how to use a evertune for sick bends.
An excellent review!! I am just about sold on this guitar. I wonder if this model is a set-neck or neck thru and what frets are we looking at here? One more question, are these locking tuners? Thanks TK..
Please talk about how cold weather can screw with the pickups as well as tuning.

Walamonga 1313 awesome man congrats!!!!
And that’s great to know do they make a cheap Jackson with Floyd without shark fin inlay ??
Bruce Kelly No idea. In fact, I have never seen a Jackson without the shark fins :P

Beautiful guitar..
Nice 1 Louis! \m/
Thanks DMS! Always great to hear from you!
Cheers mate!
Mr. Gibbs! You need to go to the captain Jack Sparrow! But you sitting here playing the guitar! 😄
that is one mean machine!!!
Thanks Robert!
Great review!! does anyone know the guitar in the background to the left of the Fender? maple neck
Pretty sure it's "MH-1000" not "HM-1000"
Nice review.
Nice! Forgot how great the EMG pickups were. Does Gibson make evertune guitars still?
ildur
Thanks for the info! You're absolutely right they were silly with the robot tuning LOL
Is it professional instrument or more for study ? What do you think?
great looking guitar ! only negative on this guitar is that it doesnt come with a case lol
and also with a molded plastic nut
Hey TK (and friends) would i be able to swap the emgs with Duncan's faily easy without any changes to the pickup slot or routing? Sorry if it's a silly question.
What are you running it through I haven't seen that before do you have a video on that.
Guitar looks great...😁
Hey, the headrush is back... if only they would make a rack :)
indeed! Noticed I moved my rack out of the way to make room for it. Lol.
This guitar is awesome but however it's doesnt have a tremolo

Butcher _ 03 MSRP?
You should open a music store.
So, can you bend and vibrato without problems??
sure....u need understand how the Zones systems are working
Beautiful fucking guitar !......
what do u call that pedal stand at the back? tried searching it on google using the term guitar pedal stand but it wont give me the right answer. TIA
kirby sartagoda looks like an “On Stage” mixer stand or just a heavy duty music stand
Is it made in korea only? I have ordered one yesterday and I'm worried it's made in Indonesia.
How do you like this guitar man(if you still have it)? I guess it’s Indonesian so how is the quality?
@bs76 I returned it mainly because evertune isn't really for me but overall the quality was totally fine. Made in indo
@@Lucarinho thanks so much for your reply. I also never played an evertune before but considering to take my chance with it on this guitar and see if I like it or not.
8:56 for all the haters........ up and down
e.t. is awsome, just hate the way they look
Nice guitar but that ever-tune bridge sounds like pooh when you do any bends. just my opinion
And yet. No stainless steel frets...
1:26 East Jesus Nowhere
Maintenance free you have to change the battery you have to clean it and change the strings lair😂😂
