    Josh Middleton is the acclaimed and highly influential guitarist of UK-based progressive metal/metalcore bands Sylosis and Architects, and his first ESP Signature Series guitar is one that lives up to this musician’s extraordinary talent. The LTD Josh Middleton Signature Series JM-II offers a bolt-on construction alder body with quilted maple top, a three-piece roasted maple neck in an extra-thin u-shaped profile, and a Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Components on the JM-II include a set of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups (alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge), with push-pull control to select voicings. It also offers LTD locking tuners and a recessed Gotoh TOM bridge with string-thru-body design. Available in Black Shadow Burst finish.

    One of the best guitars I have ever bought from LTD. Stainless frets and the recessed bridge are great features I hope ESP implements on more of their lines.

      This is guitar is gonna be my next purchase because of unpainted neck and SS frets. This is a really cool looking guitar. I wanna leave some feedback for ESP.

      - Please offer more options with hipshot style bridges on your LTD end E-II lines.

      - Unpainted necks are a must for fast and shred type necks. Please do away with nasty glossy necks, at least on your Horizon, M and MH type guitars

      - Stainless steel frets

        Any chance Josh would consider putting this with an Evertune bridge?  I know he used an Evertune with Architects!

          As soon as they are back in stock I will purchase one. Killer design on this model props to Josh and ESP.

          The 2021 lineup is definitely making a statement
