Here for sale we have a gently modified ESP LTD EC EC Arctic Metal electric guitar in Snow White Satin finish. Please be aware that the logo on this guitar has been changed by a previous owner to show 'ESP' instead of 'LTD'. Made in Korea in 2021, this instrument features a set-thru construction comprising a Mahogany body, Mahogany neck and 24 fret Macassar Ebony fingerboard. Black hardware is fitted including TonePros StopBar tailpiece, ToM bridge & LTD locking tuning machines. A single Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic active humbucker has been installed, and is wired to a master volume control, with a push/pull feature which switches between vintage & modern voicings.
The Mahogany neck is carved into a Thin ‘U’ profile that feels quick and smooth in the hand. It lends itself well to faster styles of playing whilst providing ample thickness for power chords & rhythm parts. The 13.75” radius delivers maximum hand comfort for chord playing in the lower register, whilst allowing greater speed and cleaner string bending as the player moves up the neck, great for more technically demanding playing styles. The single cutaway body design allows for unobstructed access to the higher register, whilst generous body contours provide comfort when playing in either seated or standing positions.
The single Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Active Humbucker installed in the bridge position offers an impressively wide range of tones thanks to Fishman's innovative multi-voice technology. With the volume control in the 'down' position, the pickup produces a modern, precise & powerful tone which works beautifully for thick, heavy & crushing metal tones. Switching to the vintage voicing by pulling the push/pull control the tone becomes instantly warmer, producing authentic PAF-style tones which sound fantastic in a rock or blues setting. The volume control itself is nicely responsive, allowing you to tweak your tone easily while playing.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
