ESP LTD JM-II Josh Middleton with Case, Black Shadow Burst Overview
This is Josh Middleton’s (of metal bands Sylosis and Architects) first Signature Series guitar, featuring an Alder body with a quilted Maple top for a natural look, a 3-piece roasted Maple neck with an Extra Thin ‘U’ profile making it extra comfortable to play, and a Macassar ebony fretboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. It also has LTD locking tuners, a recessed Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge with string-thru design.
For pickups, it has a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers, which provide a range of tones, from a full, round, articulation, to clean crisp humbucker tones, to brutal active aggression, easily switched with the push/pull control.
To complete the look is black hardware, off-set white inlays and a Black Shadow Burst finish. Includes an MH Guitar Form Fit Case.
