Transcending contemporary melodic death metal standards as Darkest Hour’s designated lead and rhythm guitarist, Mike Schleibaum could only be celebrated in one way: ESP’s LTD Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 signature electric guitar. Platformed on Mike’s favored body style via maple-capped mahogany, the MSV-1 supplies potent tone all by itself. However, armed with an EMG JH pickup in the bridge position, opportunities to reach Mike’s metal-fueled prowess expand tenfold. Additional modern appointments, including a Floyd Rose 1000 tailpiece, gold hardware, Grover tuning machines, and a locking nut, solidify the MSV-1 as one of our most authentic, standout signatures. Take this axe for a test ride, and you’ll see exactly what we mean.

A navigable twist on a legendary chassis

Bearing the traditional, rugged appearance of one of history’s most iconic axes, the Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 is deceptively navigable — so much, in fact, that countless guitarists have already shelved their everyday 6-strings for a shot at the MSV-1. It all starts with the guitar’s 3-piece mahogany neck, which is constructed via a neck-through design and bears a Thin-U profile for utmost control along the entire fretboard. You’ll find the MSV-1’s Macassar ebony fingerboard to be highly maneuverable and accurate, thanks to its 13.77-inch radius, custom pearloid block-style inlays, and dot-style side markers.

“Futurist” ESP appointments

Adhering to Mike’s exact specifications, the LTD Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 comes bearing ESP’s finest hardware appointments, from delicate pearloid block-style inlays to a gold set of Grover tuning machines. In stark contrast to the MSV-1’s gloss black finish, gold hardware heightens tonal stability while showcasing the eye-popping aesthetics of Mike’s favored axe. The Floyd Rose 1000 tailpiece guarantees seamless access to wavy bends and dive-bombs while keeping your equipment in tune via a locking 1.653-inch nut. Complete with 24 XJ stainless steel frets, a bell-style Volume knob, and a brushed gold pickup cover, the Mike Schleibaum MSV-1 provides just as much showmanship and performance as its namesake wielder.

One with the noise

The secret to Mike’s devastating melodics begins with the single bridge-mounted EMG JH pickup, attuned specifically to match the articulation and power required when hitting heavy rhythms, lead lines, and beyond. At its core, the EMG JH pickup produces higher attack, a boosted output, and a fuller low end — a must-have tonal recipe for hard rock and metal genres, albeit one that serves a much-deserved tonal palette across the board. Whether you’ve heard the testimony through EMG’s pickup itself or within the fury of Mike’s devious licks, rest assured that this EMG JH pickup will not disappoint.

Surprisingly great for my wide feet and high instep!
Size: 10.5, Color: Velvet Tan/Gum 2
So thrilled I took a chance on these. Finding boots is impossible for me. I have wide feet, a super high instep, a bunion on one foot, and I wear a hard to find size (10.5). I ordered the 10.5 and 11 in these expecting I might need to size up for width (if I could even get them on). It was a struggle getting the 10.5s on the first time, and once I did they were somewhat uncomfortable on the top of my left foot. But I read that they would relax so decided to give it a go because I need waterproof boots for an upcoming trip and the 11s felt too long. After two days of light wear, they are already breaking in and I have no more discomfort. Getting them on is already easier and they are plenty wide enough and very comfortable to walk in. These are true to size. Super happy and worth a day of mild discomfort to break them in!

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days. Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.

Fantastic Boots!
Size: 8.5, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
Completely satisfied with these boots. True to size, well made, comfortable from the get-go; not break in needed. Waterproof- really. The Red Suede has withstood a nasty winter season & still looks great. Good traction. I like the ankle height which looks good with long, mid length pants & leggings. I love the easy slip on/off aspect..made getting ready for dog walking easy. I 100%recommend!
