Body and Neck: This electric guitar from ESP LTD has a sleek looking suprestrat body made from basswood in black finish without a scratch plate. Its basswood body is a good tone wood sonically producing fat bright tones to soft warm when the guitar is played clean and growls when overdriven. Other notable characteristics is, it is comfortably lightweight, fairly soft wood with minimal grain. Widely use for entry-level up to mid-range guitar models.

It has an extra thin U-shape bolt-on neck crafted in solid maple top by rosewood fingerboard 22 XJ frets for speed and makes it easier to bend strings. Pressing too hard on an XJ frets may change the intonation a little bit to become sharp. It is still a matter of getting use too in developing a lighter touch.

Pick-ups: For power the guitar has two hum canceling passive ESP Designed LH-100 pick-ups for the neck and bridge configuration controlled by 3-way blade switch for pick-ups selection, master volume and master tone knobs in chrome finish.

Hardware: The ESP LTD M-10 is equipped with a string-through body TOM bridge and LTD tuning machines in chrome die-cast.

Final Thoughts: The ESP LTD M-10 is an excellent sounding affordable guitar best fitting players who dwells around and plays a lot of speed metal, thrash and rock. It is a straight forward electric guitar to begin with. Comfortable and light to carry. Making it perfect on playing in long hours of practice and the guitar to use for gigs as well.

For built and presentation. The superstrat body in dark black finish, slim neck and tilted reverse style headstock is a great appearance. Perfect for the kind of genre music and guitarist it is intended for.
