10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 5 years' warranty and 30 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 30 days to 180 days (terms apply after 30 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

ESP LTD M-1 Custom 87, Rainbow Crackle Overview

View this description in Italian

The ESP LTD M-1 Custom '87 is an instrument of sensational quality, showcasing the peak of ESP's collection. Equipped with a high-output Seymour Duncan TB-6 Distortion humbucker, players are gifted with a harmonically rich, crunching tone that slashes through the mix with ease. It's loaded with an active EMG boost that can be activated via the PA-2 mini-switch, injecting your sound with even more fury. You can even split the coil of the humbucker for that biting single-coil clarity - powerful versatility from a single pickup.


So, you've got blistering tone. But how does it handle the modern stage? Well, an ultra-smooth mahogany neck is sculpted into an extra thin "U" shape, fitting snugly in the palm of your hand and preventing cramp. It's layered with a sleek Macassar ebony fretboard, for effortless shred. You can even incorporate screeching dive bombs and whammy effects into your playing, thanks to a classic Floyd Rose locking tremolo bridge. This is an axe that meets the demands of the modern musician, whilst remaining faithful to its '87 roots.

Excellent electric sound

The last thing you need when you're looking to play with power is a load of different switching options - it becomes too hard to find that raw, straightforward voice you need. The ESP M-1 Custom ditches the hassle. With a single Seymour Duncan TB-6 Distortion pickup at the bridge, this guitar is perfect for giving you those stripped-back, aggressive, all-out rock tones. It sounds huge. And because the pickup is made by Seymour Duncan, you can be sure it'll deliver everything you play with maximum clarity, too. Bring more dynamism to your performance than ever before.

For even more versatility, the TB-6 features a coil-splitting option. This means you can experience the biting character of a single-coil pickup by simply using the push/pull control to activate it. So, with just one pickup, you're gifted with a world of tone. There's even an integrated EMG PA-2 boost switch for when you need that extra push of power in your solos. It's a performing machine.

Born to perform

Play to your full potential. The ESP M-1 Custom features a double-cutaway alder body for a totally unhindered playing experience. With easy access to the upper frets, you can play with ultimate freedom, and perform those scorching solos in style. No limitations. Just a guitar that's crafted for your creativity.

Sleekness. It's vital in the world of guitars. Especially when it comes to fast playing. Thankfully, ESP have incorporated a range of tonewoods that ensure you can play with supreme comfort and flexibility. A 3-piece maple neck is sculpted into a thin "U" profile, creating a feel that is just right in the palm of your hand. But the secret to the M-1's effortless playability is the macassar ebony fretboard. Ebony is renowned for its ultra-smooth surface, which is why it's a favourite across countless ESP models. Therefore, your hands can glide up and down the entirety of the guitar's scale in rapid fashion. More precision, no restraints

Let your creativity thrive

Locking tremolo. It's essential for any serious metal guitarist. How else could you incorporate such daring dive bombs into your playing? Thankfully, ESP knows what's required for an exhilarating performance. Featuring a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, you can experience the freedom of creativity right at your fingertips. This locking tremolo system allows you to perform the most audacious of vibrato effects, with your strings returning to their original tuning. This way, you can have the peace-of-mind that your guitar is in tune, even after your insane whammy bar antics. An unforgettable performance, where inspiration flourishes.

Hard rock heritage

ESP Guitars are legends of the rock music world. Established in Tokyo, Japan in 1975, ESP (Electric Sound Products) initially manufactured high-quality replacement parts for guitars already on the market. These replacements became extremely popular with rock guitarists, as many users noticed that the new parts, when added to their existing guitars, afforded their instruments extra power and aggression.

Noticing their new-found popularity, ESP capitalised and decided to use their expertise to begin crafting guitars of their own. Early models were used in the music of KISS and The Rolling Stones. As years passed, ESP's guitars became increasingly popular within metal and hard rock genres. Metallica, Megadeath, Slayer, Judas Priest, and Guns N' Roses have all used the immense sound of ESPs in their music. Quality, hard rock sound favoured by the very best in the business.
