ESP Vintage Plus/M Distressed CAR - Candy Apple Red

Electric guitar
  • This is currently the most recent model in the classic ESP Strat program, with absolutely professional features and an outstanding price-quality relation.
  • Finish: Candy Apple Red, with chrome hardware. Due to the nitro lacquer used here, in the tradition of the best guitars from the 50s and 60s, the wood can really "breathe", unlike on many modern instruments. The guitar already sounds excellent when unplugged! Another example of how perfect ESP can handle the "Vintage" topic - while otherwise rather known for their instruments for hard'n'heavy styles.
  • Body: Alder - a wood known for its very good resonance qualities - aged by ESP, with various dings and dongs. The guitar looks, sounds and feels like a much played instrument, with a long history. But: The hardware is brand new, all parts work smoothly, the instrument stays perfectly in tune etc. In other words, a successful "Best of both worlds" concept working here!
  • Neck: Maple, one piece. 22 XJ frets. "Thin U" neck profile. Bolt-on neck construction. This enables a fast, precise attack response, while retaining a full, "fat" tone.
  • Scale: 25.5" (Standard).
  • Fretboard: Maple, aged, with discreet dot inlays.
  • Headstock: ESP Vintage Plus style.
  • Tuners: Gotoh Magnum locking tuners. Always requested by professional artists, these tuners are a must-have for the demanding musician. The key to their design is eliminating wraps around the string post, which can cause string slippage and tuning problems. Gotoh’s unique design automatically locks the string to the shaft while winding the tuning key (tuning to pitch) – better tuning stability and no more restringing nightmares.
  • Bridge: Wilkinson VS100 Vintage tremolo. A classic with lots of sustain and an excellent tuning stability.
  • Nut: 42 mm, bone.
  • Pickups: 3x Seymour Duncan SSL-1 single coils. This classic Strat combination sounds nice and warm, but is also versatile, dynamic, and easy to control.
  • Alternatively, upon request of the purchaser, we can also perform a professional installation of a different pickup combination, e.g. any DiMarzio, EMG or Seymour Duncan etc. (Very fair prices per pickup swap). Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
  • Electronics: 1x Volume, 2x Tone, 5-way slotted switch.
  • Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftmanship, handling and sound!
  • The guitar comes in a high-quality original ESP Custom Vintage Plus formfit hardcase with ESP logo.
