Transcending contemporary melodic death metal standards as Darkest Hours designated lead and rhythm guitarist, Mike Schleibaum could only be celebrated in one way: ESPs LTD Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 signature electric guitar. Platformed on Mikes 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 Mikes 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 our most authentic, standout signatures. Take this axe for a test ride, and youll see exactly what we mean.
A navigable twist on a legendary chassis
Bearing the traditional, rugged appearance of one of historys most iconic axes, the Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 is deceptively navigable so much, in fact, that countless guitarists have already shelved their everyday 6-strings for a shot at the MSV-1. It all starts with the guitars 3-piece mahogany neck, which is constructed via a neck-through design and bears a Thin-U profile for utmost control along the entire fretboard. Youll find the MSV-1s Macassar ebony fingerboard to be highly maneuverable and accurate, thanks to its 13.77-inch radius, custom pearloid block-style inlays, and dot-style side markers.
Futurist ESP appointments
Adhering to Mikes exact specifications, the LTD Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 comes bearing ESPs finest hardware appointments, from delicate pearloid block-style inlays to a gold set of Grover tuning machines. In stark contrast to the MSV-1s gloss black finish, gold hardware heightens tonal stability while showcasing the eye-popping aesthetics of Mikes favored axe. The Floyd Rose 1000 tailpiece guarantees seamless access to wavy bends and dive-bombs while keeping your equipment in tune via a locking 1.653-inch nut. Complete with 24 XJ stainless steel frets, a bell-style Volume knob, and a brushed gold pickup cover, the Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 provides just as much showmanship and performance as its namesake wielder.
One with the noise
The secret to Mikes devastating melodics begins with the single bridge-mounted EMG JH pickup, attuned specifically to match the articulation and power required when hitting heavy rhythms, lead lines, and beyond. At its core, the EMG JH pickup produces higher attack, a boosted output, and a fuller low end a must-have tonal recipe for hard rock and metal genres, albeit one that serves a much-deserved tonal palette across the board. Whether youve heard the testimony through EMGs pickup itself or within the fury of Mikes devious licks, rest assured that this EMG JH pickup will not disappoint.
