Set neck construction. This enables a very good sustain, an easy access to the upper frets, and of course a full, "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 ESP Custom „Flag“ inlays. Bindings: "Custom Black & Yellow" (body, neck and headstock). A discreet but very noble looking instrument!Frets: 24, XJ (Jumbo) - with a perfect fretjob, another famous feature of ESP instruments.Nut: Earvana, compensated, 42 mm (Standard).Headstock: ESP Eclipse-Style in Highgloss Black.Tuners: Orig. Grover.Bridge: Non-tremolo, Tune-o-matic with stoptail. Lots of sustain and helps to stay in tune, as well.Pickups: EMG 81/60 active humbuckers. This classic Metallica combination is very versatile, provides lots of gain for aggressive sounds, fits well for downtuning and is absolutely quiet, due to its active design.Electronics: 2x Volume, 1x Tone, 3-way toggle switch.Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftmanship, playability and sound! The quality level is easily comparable with many ESP models which usually cost 2-3 times more than this instrument.
