Mick Thomson's signature LTD MT‐I brings the Slipknot guitarist's exacting specifications to life in a purpose‐built metal machine that pushes beyond standard production models. Built on the classic MH body shape with an arched top and reverse inline headstock, this instrument combines set‐thru construction with a mahogany body, white ash top, and three‐piece maple neck fitted with a Macassar ebony fingerboard featuring compound radius and 24 medium‐jumbo stainless steel frets.
The hardware specification reads like a masterclass in performance‐focused components: Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut, Hipshot Grip‐Lock locking open‐gear tuners, and an all‐brass Hipshot Hi‐Mass hardtail bridge with string‐thru design for maximum sustain and tuning stability. Blue Luminlay side markers provide visual reference in low‐light stage conditions, while the entire package ships in an ESP hardshell form‐fit case.
At the heart of the MT‐I sits a Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup offering four distinct voices controlled via a low‐profile 3‐way toggle and push/pull volume knob. Voice 1 provides tight modern aggression, Voice 1 with bass boost shift adds enhanced low‐end response, Voice 2 offers more organic passive‐style character, and Voice 3 activates through the pull function on the volume control. This active electronics system gives you genuine tonal versatility without cluttering the control layout, keeping everything accessible during performance.
