EXCELLENT. This guitar is in a great condition but of course has some minor surface playwear, all of it real honest wear as this guitar has spent a lot of time on the road and in studio with Zoli Farkas of Ektomorf. The hardcase is also slightly roadworn but fully functional. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
- A popular ESP model, with absolutely professional features.
- This is a very special instrument, previously owned by Zoltan Farkas, the lead singer and guitarist of the famous groove metal band Ektomorf! This guitar was used by Zoli for a long time live and in studio. The guitar was personally signed by Zoli Farkas for us.
- Finish: Black Satin, with black hardware.
- Body: Mahogany, with a nicely carved maple top.
- Special version "Full Thickness" with a 55mm thick body - exactly like a Les Paul Custom - for an even fatter tone!
- Neck: Mahogany. 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: Ebony, with ESP Custom „Flag“ inlays, and custom binding overall: Body (front and back), neck and headstock.
- Frets: 22, XJ.
- Nut: Bone, 42 mm (Standard).
- Headstock: ESP Eclipse-Style - matching the body color.
- Tuners: Orig. Gotoh.
- Bridge: Non-tremolo, Gotoh Tune-o-matic with stoptail - lots of sustain and helps to stay in tune, as well.
- Pickups: EMG 81X/60X active humbuckers - this 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, 2x tone, 3-way toggle switch.
- Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftsmanship, handling and sound!
- The guitar comes in a high-quality original ESP Eclipse I CTM FT Series formfit hardcase with ESP logo.
