The LTD MT-I is the highly-anticipated Signature Series guitar for Mick Thomson, the iconic guitarist of Slipknot. Available in Satin Black finish, the MT-I is based on the MH-style body, with an arched top and an inline reverse headstock. This outstanding guitar features set-thru construction at 25.5” scale, pairing a mahogany body with white ash top to a three-piece maple neck with a flawless, smooth Macassar ebony fingerboard with compound radius and 24 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets. Based on Mick’s precise requirements, the MT-I has a set of special, unique features not found on any other LTD guitar model, including a Graph Tech Black TUSQ XL nut, Hipshot Grip-Lock locking open gear tuners, an all-brass Hipshot Hi-Mass hardtail bridge, blue Luminlay side markers, and a Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson Signature pickup with a 3-way low profile toggle switch to select between Voice 1, Voice 1 with bass boost shift, and Voice 2, and a push/pull volume control to select Voice 3. Includes ESP hardshell form fit case.
This build combines a mahogany body with a white ash top, delivering a warm, mid‑rich tonal core enhanced by the added brightness and snap of ash. The 3‑piece maple neck improves rigidity and tuning stability, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard contributes fast response, strong attack, and articulate note definition. Hardware includes Hipshot Grip‑Lock open‑gear tuners and a Hipshot Ibby HM fixed bridge with string‑thru construction, providing reliable tuning performance, accurate intonation, and efficient string‑to‑body energy transfer for extended sustain. Electronics center on a Fishman Fluence Mick Thomson bridge humbucker, capable of four distinct tonal modes: Voice 1 – Tight modern aggression Voice 1 w/ Bass Shift – Same voice with enhanced low‑end response Voice 2 – More organic, passive‑style character Voice 3 – Activated by pulling the Volume knob The control layout keeps things performance‑focused with a single push/pull Volume and a standard toggle switch to cycle through the voices.
