Description

• An EC model from the new Ltd Elite Series, MADE IN JAPAN, with absolutely professional features, but – as usual with the ESP Ltd guitars – priced in the budget category while offering an outstanding price-quality relation.
• Finish: See Thru Black, with black hardware.
• Body: Mahogany.
• Top: Flamed maple, carved.
• 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: Rosewood, with ESP Custom Flag inlays.
• Bindings: White all over the instrument. A discreet but very noble looking instrument!
• Frets: 24, XJ (Jumbo) – with a perfect fretjob, another famous feature of ESP instruments.
• Nut: Bone, 42 mm (Standard).
• Headstock: ESP Eclipse-Style – painted highgloss black.
• 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. Gotohs 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: Non-tremolo, orig. Gotoh Tune-o-matic with stoptail. Lots of sustain and helps to stay in tune, as well.
• Pickups: EMG 57/66 active humbuckers. This new PAF-style combination is very versatile, provides lots of gain for aggressive sounds, fits well for downtuning and is absolutely quiet, due to its active design.
• Also available with EMG 81/81, EMG 81/60 or EMG 81/85 for a moderate upcharge, please just inquire.
• 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. (Only a small upcharge per pickup swap will be required). 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: 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.
• The guitar comes in an orig. ESP formfit case & with factory accessories.
