The guitar catches the eye at first glance with the contrast of its dark body and bright red pickups. Its body is made of lime wood. The bolted maple neck is joined by a fingerboard made of roasted jatoba, also known as Brazilian cherry, fitted with twenty-two Extra Jumbo frets. Positioning blocks make it easy to navigate its surface.
Two ESP Designed humbuckers give the guitar the juicy sound needed to phrase sharp metal riffs. Its character can be changed with the volume potentiometer, tone shutter and three-position pickup switch. The strings are anchored by a Floyd Rose Special double-turn tremolo and the company's proprietary mechanics. Locks on the zero fret ensure tuning stability even when the tremolo lever is frequently (mis)used to embellish guitar solos with impressive sound effects.
ESP has been manufacturing electric guitars since 1984 and its satisfied customers include Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera. The popularity of these instruments has also led to the creation of the LTD subsidiary, which offers popular models in an affordable option. However, even in the case of ESP-LTD guitars, great emphasis is placed on the quality of workmanship and fitted components. For a fraction of the price you can have a very high quality instrument that stands behind many a famous riff.
