M-I NTB NT USA

With the M-I NTB NT USA, you get a flat-top, streamlined guitar that’s handcrafted in Southern California by the expert luthiers at the ESP USA facility. The “NTB” stands for its neck-thru-body construction at 25.5” scale, providing the stability and sustain you’ve always dreamed of. The “NT” is for non-trem, referring to its recessed TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design for excellent sustain and resonance. Other features include a reverse headstock (allowing for ideal string tension in the lower registers), an ebony fingerboard with deluxe mother-of-pearl offset block inlays, and 24 extra-jumbo Jescar stainless steel frets.
Components on the M-I NTB NT USA include Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners, Dunlop Straplok buttons, and a bone nut. To make this guitar all your own, a number of aspects can be personalized, including finish, top woods (sold color, flamed maple, or quilted maple), pickups, and hardware.
The M-I NTB NT USA includes a custom ESP USA form-fitting hardshell case, and an official Certificate of Authenticity from ESP.
FEATURES

Graphite Neck Reinforcement Bars
Get maximum strength and stability from your guitar’s neck, with higher long-term reliability. All ESP USA models are made with two high-strength bars of carbon fiber.

Drop Top w/ Natural Masked Binding
The droptop design on many of our ESP USA models allows for the beauty of a figured top that’s bent over the arm contour, adding a little brightness to the overall sound while retaining the warmth of the body wood. The natural masked binding — available on many finishes — adds amazing visual contrast.

3-Piece Neck Thru Body
ESP USA models that offer a neck-thru-body design incorporate a three-piece laminated neck design. This increases the strength and stability of the neck, leading to better long-term reliability along with excellent tone and sustain.
