Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
ESP LTD’s MH-1000 Black Ocean combines a mahogany double-cut body and arched quilted maple top with set-thru construction. The three-piece maple neck has an extra-thin U profile, a compound-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets for the guitar’s stated speed and comfort focus. Direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers pair an alnico neck pickup with a ceramic bridge pickup; the push-pull control accesses a second voicing for each. A Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge, locking nut, and Grover tuners complete the hardware package.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want a 24-fret, extra-thin U neck with compound-radius fingerboard geometry.
- Electric-guitar setups that call for a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo bridge and locking nut.
- Using two Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers with selectable second voicings through the push-pull control.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a hardtail bridge rather than the Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo system.
- Left-handed players, as this model is specified as right-handed.
