ESP LTD AA-1 Alan Ashby Signature, Black Satin Overview
The ESP LTD AA-1 Alan Ashby Signature is an explosion of tone. Designed for the Of Mice and Men guitarist, you're getting an axe that's built for uncompromising, professional performance. To that end, there's refinement all over this guitar. Sink your teeth into the luscious ebony fretboard that's just begging for riotous riffs, feel the elegant waist cut contours of the traditional yet sleek body. And revel in the vigorous roar of its EMG humbucker, producing a noise so fearsome that the guitar only needs one pickup!
If that hasn't got you salivating, then its endless sustain and rock-solid reliability will. That formidable humbucker combines with a TOM bridge and string through design to deliver a sustain that never ends, not to mention the neck through construction which ensures every note will be filled with maximum detail. And this is meant to be played night after night, so locking tuners provide the stability to bring out your best.

View Full DescriptionEbony fingerboard ecstasy
Treat your fingers. This is a surface so smooth that you're going to glide around the frets. It's unbelievable to play and makes those tricky licks and expansive solos a breeze to perform. Covered in 24 special XJ Jescar EVOgold frets you're going to be able to string bend to extremes and enjoy an easy action point for fast playing. Not only that, but they top off the striking black and gold colour scheme that this signature LTD AA-1 rocks with aplomb.
A neck for performance
Underneath that sumptuous ebony fretboard is a three-piece mahogany neck. This is a six-string that's built for the road, so the neck's multi-layered build ensures you're not going to have any issues with warping or bowing, so thrash like there's no tomorrow. And what's going to help you thrash is the 'Thin U' profile, which is just a dream to hold. Its slender outline gives you the platform to shred like a monster as it's so easy to reach all the frets.
Crafted in a neck-through-body-style you are going to get a boost with each note. All that string vibration and energy is going straight to the body, maximising the sound picked up. Those salvos of power chords and rumbling chugs are going to hit with extra force!
EMG dynamite dynamics
Get ready to rumble. A single, gold plated EMG 81 active humbucker provides the high gain heroics you need to stun the audience. It's a metal monster that's been a favourite for countless heavy rockers. That's because it fires out blistering, relentless sonics with ample cut and mid-range punch. And all that is lifted further by the active electronics, which provide enough output to give you a soaring sustain. You're not just going to be heard above the mix, this pickup will demolish it.
ESP appointments
This is an ESP, so of course it's got quality. Steadfast reliability is what Alan Ashby demands of his personal guitars and this is no different. Through ESP locking tuners and a TOM bridge with string-through construction your sound will be locked down for a set. Adjusting your intonation is a cinch with the Tonepros tune-O-matic, and the components combine for an almost everlasting sustain. Exceptional performance from an exceptional guitar.
