A very popular model from ESP, with professional features. But - as typical for LTD production - to be had for a very nice price and featuring an unbelievably good price-quality relation.Finish: See Thru Black, with black nickel hardware.Body: Basswood, with a beautiful figured quilt maple top.Neck: Mahogany. "Thin U" neck profile, very comfortable. Set neck construction. This enables a very good sustain, and a fuller, more "fat" tone.Scale: 24.75" (like Gibson Les Paul, SG, Explorer etc., i.e. a 2 cm shorter scale than for instance a Stratocaster, resulting in better playability even with thicker string gauges).Fretboard: Rosewood, with discreet „Abalone Dot“ inlays and white binding (neck and headstock). 24 XJ jumbo frets for fast playing and easy string bending.Headstock: ESP EC-style, color-matching.Nut: Standard, 42 mm.Tuners: Orig. ESP.Bridge: Tune-o-matic non-tremolo, with stoptail.Pickups: EMG-ESP LH-301 humbuckers. They are de facto passive equivalents of the EMG 81 and sound very similar. This pickup combination is versatile, provides lots of gain for aggressive sounds, fits well for downtuning and is very quiet.Electronics: Electronics: 2x volume & 1x tone knob with push-pull function, to split the humbuckers (so a total of 6 different combinations is possible). 3-way-switch.Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftmanship, playability and sound! The manufacturing quality is easily comparable with many ESP models which usually cost at least three times more than this instrument.
