Get to know them!





To put it lightly, the LTD M-HT is a blacked-out beast of a guitar. Featuring a maple through-neck design with an alder body and ebony fingerboard, this guitar has some major sustain and resonance. It features comfortable body contours to make long sets more enjoyable than ever. But when you plug it in, this unassuming instrument's single humbucker roars to life. The Seymour Duncan Black Winter pickup delivers a hard-hitting grind that's perfect for the heaviest riffs. This axe may be blacked out, but the glow-in-the-dark side markers will keep you rocking on the darkest stages. Finally, a string-through-body Hipshot hardtail bridge provides impressive tuning stability and boosts sustain. If you're looking for a guitar that will bring the pain onstage, the LTD M-HT is the axe for you.





Unleash the beast with a Black Winter humbucker





The full-throated roar of this guitar is created by a single Seymour Duncan Black Winter pickup in the bridge position. Powered by a ceramic magnet and designed specifically for the heaviest of metal genres, this pickup smashes into your rig with a wall of pure fury. With it, you can play earth-shaking riffs, burning leads, or anything in between. To control this beast, you get a single volume knob. But for a little extra tonal variety, a push-pull pot provides coil-splitting abilities. If you need raw power, this pickup is your golden ticket.

Ultra-sleek neck is perfect for swift, nimble players





If you're the type who prefers a slim neck, then you'll love the M-HT. The 3-piece maple through-neck is carved into LTD's Extra Thin "U" profile that players around Sweetwater love. It feels thick enough to fill your hand yet thin enough to stay out of your way during intense soloing. The satin finish of the back of the neck feels extra slick to help you perform high-octane licks and technical maneuvers. A smooth-as-glass Macassar ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets round out the neck's construction. You'll enjoy effortless playability from the moment you pick it up.





Lightweight body won't weigh you down





Some players like the feel of a heavy, vintage axe. But after a long set, a heavy guitar can leave your neck and back feeling worse for wear. That's why LTD made the M-HT's body wings out of alder. This lightweight tonewood is treasured for its balanced tone and superb resonance. It'll help even out the bright attack of the maple neck without adding too much weight. If you're regularly playing long sets, you'll love the LTD M-HT.
