The body of this guitar is made of mahogany with a spectacular veneer of flamed maple. It is distinguished from standard models by its elongated beveled top and shortened lower body corner. The trim around the body, neck and headstock contrasts well with the instrument's color scheme. The three-piece maple neck with a set-thru construction, i.e. the 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. Thanks to the push/pull tone shutter function, their coils can be "tapped" to achieve the sound of single-coil pickups. The company's quality LTD Locking mechanics and string attachment through the body of the instrument guarantee good tone, sustain and tuning stability. The black hardware and logo on the headstock accentuate the guitar's stylish look.
ESP has been manufacturing electric guitars since 1984 and its satisfied customers include Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera. Due to the popularity of these instruments, a subsidiary company, LTD, has been created to offer 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.
