The body of this guitar is made of mahogany with a spectacular top veneer of puff maple. The binding surrounding the body, neck and headstock of the guitar contrasts suitably with the colour finish of the instrument. The three-piece mahogany neck with a set-thru construction, i.e. a neck recessed deep into the body, is joined by a Makasar ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four Extra Jumbo frets. Orientation is traditionally facilitated by mother-of-pearl position blocks.
Two passive humbuckers from the respected Seymour Duncan brand give the guitar the necessary juice and sonic drive. The strings are mounted in quality Grover mechanics on one side and an Evertune model F headstock on the other, which compensates for string pull when plucking and sharper playing, ensuring, as the name suggests, that the guitar stays in tune. The black hardware and logo on the headstock accentuate the guitar's stylish look.
ESP has been making 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.
