DISC ESP Original Arrow, Black Andromeda

Full Description

Solid Alder Body

Alder is favoured by most players for its incredibly balanced tone, offering the perfect dynamic range to suit most musical styles. This alder body is perfect for a variety of playing styles as its excellent sustain and resonance ensures each note is heard. Its bright, sizzling highs, rounded lows, and beefy midrange sets up the foundation of the guitar's overall tonality, allowing players to achieve the perfect sounds for most situations. The ESP Arrow Original is finished in a stunning black andromeda colour, which offers a black look until the light catches it to reveal the dazzling ''andromeda'' iridescence.

Maple Neck, Ebony Fingerboard

This Original Series Arrow Guitar is equipped with a 3pc maple neck and ebony fingerboard, delivering warm, bright tones with plenty of depth and dynamics. The maple provides the overall tone with a rounded quality, creating bright characteristics and an excellent amount of sustain. Its thin U-shaped profile is perfect for speed demons, allowing players to easily reach across the entire fingerboard without losing any comfort. The addition of an ebony fingerboard helps to tighten up the neck’s tone, giving it a defined feel, excellent clarity, and a fast attack. The maple and ebony combination creates a sparkling, sizzling high end, a muscular controlled bass response, and a snappy midrange with extra presence in the lower mids.

Neck-Through Construction

The neck-through construction optimises the maximum contact between the neck and body joint, enhancing the guitar's resonance for an advanced sustain. This setup allows superior vibration transfer and sustainability, perfect for when you need notes to ring out for as long as possible.

Seymour Duncan Blackout Pickups

The set of Seymour Duncan Blackout pickups are what makes the Original Series ESP Arrow a heavy metal behemoth, offering an incredibly high-output for delivering warm, complex chords and singing leads. The neck humbucker is designed for shredding and thick rhythm playing, featuring an extended frequency range to create an organic feel ideal for players who demand a responsive tone that lets the true tonal character of the guitar shine through. The bridge pickup is built purely for power, offering a full-bodied punch with the typical high output of an active pickup and an open, organic feel. With an extended bass and treble response, balanced with a slightly scooped midrange for create the perfect crunch, the Blackout bride pickup is perfect for delivering pinch harmonics and hyper speed riffs.

Floyd Rose Original Tremolo

For many years Floyd Rose has been the leading manufacturer and designer of floating, locking tremolos. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years, the Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch with the removable whammy bar to create unique sounds such as dive bombs. Unlike non-locking tremolo's, the Floyd Rose bridge can make huge changes in pitch but still retain the initial tuning by addition of the locking nut at the end of the headstock.

Gotoh Tuners

The Original Series ESP is finished off with a range of high-end components to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. The Gotoh tuners are designed to improve tuning stability while reducing string slippage, delivering a truly quick and easy way to tune.
