ESP LTD Arrow-1000, Candy Apple Red Satin - Secondhand

Full Description

Powerful and versatile pickups

Prepare for sizzling-hot tones. The EMG 81/85 pickups form a brilliant combination. The 81 at the bridge produces a searing, crisp high range and shimmering sustain with the use of ceramic magnets and close aperture coils. This kind of intense sharpness balanced with wondrous fluidity causes every note to blaze through even the thickest of mixes, ringing out with purpose and wondrous texture.

Teaming with this fierce and dynamic pickup is the 85 at the neck. Its close aperture coils and Alnico V magnets produce a tremendous growl that is versatile enough to accommodate a range of styles and techniques. And its glistening clarity results in a smoothness that is perfect for glorious lead tones. From velvety blues to decimating metal, you can achieve anything with these EMG pickups. But if you're going to carry such a striking Arrow shaped model, chances are you're going to want a sharp and crunchy sound to match. So, push the pickups hard and prepare for absolutely annihilating tones.

A dazzling mahogany body

The killer sound of this guitar is aided by a frighteningly brilliant mahogany body. Mahogany provides a rich and resonant tone that begs the wondrous textures of sparkling harmonies. This depth of sound is picked up by the sharp and exhilarating humbuckers, resulting in an immersive, breath-taking tone that your audience won't be able to turn away from. Mahogany is also conveniently sturdy, a desired attribute for any guitarist wanting to absolutely thrash on stage without any inhibition. This monstrous model can take it.

If exceptional strength isn't enough, the neck-through design promises to enhance your playing experience even more by providing glorious sustain. Every single note you play will be projected out into the room with immense force and is guaranteed to ring out with razor-sharp clarity. And when you're equipped with premium hardware such as a Floyd Rose 1000SE bridge, locking nut, and Grover tuners, you can be sure to have incredible tuning stability and long-lasting quality on your side even whilst you're pitch bending with pure ferocity.

A sublime neck and fretboard

The magnificent neck displays a marvellous maple construction whilst exhibiting a thin 'U' contour. This sleek design is superbly comfortable to hold and ensures you can play with ease. Astounding articulation and brightness emanate from maple, making it the ultimate tonewood for gigging with as it ensures that the notes of the most complex of chords will sing beautifully. Maple complements the neck-through construction perfectly by ensuring that even whilst your notes linger with glistening sustain, they will never sound muddy.

On top lies an exquisite ebony fretboard. It is the sign of a high-end instrument with divine quality and grants you a sumptuously smooth playing experience. Go wild on the 24 extra-jumbo frets and slide across the board at lightning speed, ebony's high oil-content allows you to play in silky and seamless style whilst your fiery notes fly from the strings like sparks.
