ESP LTD PHOENIX Black Metal BLKS

The ESP LTD Black Metal series offers electric guitars in comparable quality of workmanship to the LTD Deluxe "1000" series, from which they differ in minimalist control and above all in the uncompromising dark black design of all components. Thus, it is aimed at players of extreme metal genres who are looking for a guitar with a really dark design that would represent them with dignity in terms of sound.

The PHOENIX Black Metal BLKS offers an interesting offset hard & heavy body design. The body construction itself is composed of mahogany wings and a through neck made of three pieces of mahogany with a narrower fast Thin U profile. Twenty-two Extra Jumbo size frets divide the Ebony Macassar fingerboard surface. Position markers, luminescent dots and anything that would interfere with the dark concept are not found on the guitar.

The Fishman Fluence Modern ceramic magnet humbucker gives the guitar a great dynamic sound (without any accompanying noise) with precise articulation of individual notes/chords and just the right amount of punch/aggressiveness. In addition, the guitar's sonic arsenal can be expanded by activating a second voicing by turning up the volume potentiometer (Push/Pull function). The strings are mounted in the company's high quality locking mechanisms and a solid Tonepros Locking TOM bridge and stringer. The hardware and company logo on the headstock in dark black accentuate the stylish design of the instrument.

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. Even in the case of ESP-LTD guitars, however, great emphasis is placed on the quality of workmanship and fitted components.
