The LTD Black Metal Series are guitars that are comparable in build quality to our LTD Deluxe “1000 Series” instruments, but with a dark and menacing design theme of all-black finish, components, and hardware, a single premium-quality pickup, Macassar ebony fingerboards with no inlays and glow-in-the-dark side markers, and even a black metal LTD logo on the headstock. The M-HT Black Metal offers this design in a 6-string 25.5” scale hardtail version with an alder body and three-piece extra-thin U-shaped maple neck. Its features include a Hipshot bridge with string-thru body setup for sweet sustain and stability. For brutal tones and excellent dynamics, you get a single direct-mounted Seymour Duncan Blackened Black Winter passive pickup, with a push-pull control for coil splitting.
