The body of this baritone guitar is made of mahogany, maple top and a fancy flake maple veneer top. Glued to the three-piece maple neck with a set-thru construction, i.e. a neck recessed deeper into the body, and a narrower fast Thin U profile is a Makasar ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four Extra Jumbo frets. The longer fingerboard gauge guarantees ideal string tension even with more pronounced tuning, and orientation around the fingerboard surface is made easier by the red position markers in the original design.
The combination of Seymour Duncan's stylish red JB (B) and '59 (N) humbuckers provides the sound with a balanced balance of aggression and warmth, as well as the necessary fullness, dynamics and precise articulation for singing solos or chordal breakdowns. The guitar can thus be used in a wide range of genres, not just metal and rock. The volume potentiometer (humbuckers), three-position humbucker switch and piezo pickup volume potentiometer are used to adjust the sound. Precise and stable tuning is guaranteed by the fit of the strings in the Grover mechanics and the Graph Tech Ghost Loaded Resomax tailpiece and string.
The guitar is supplied in a case.
ESP has been making 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 formed 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.
