ESP Guitars is debuting the first LTD signature model for veteran ESP player Sammy Duet of New Orleans, LA-based extreme metal band Goatwhore with the LTD SD-2, and adding new signature models for Alan Ashby, guitarist from Of Mice & Men with the LTD AA-1 and for Javier Reyes of Animals As Leaders with the LTD JR-7.
The LTD Sammy Duet Signature Series SD-2 is based on Sammy’s own ESP Custom Shop model, made famous by its identifiable Random Star shape. It offers sturdy neck-thru-body construction at 24.75” scale, and a bound Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, diamond-shaped white pearloid inlays, and glow-in-the-dark side markers. Components on the LTD SD-2 include a Floyd Rose 1000 SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws, and a single Seymour Duncan Blackout active pickup, designed to provide the hot, articulate response necessary for modern metal.
The LTD Alan Ashby AA-1 is an update to the Of Mice & Men guitarist’s previous Signature Series model. It adds a Black Satin finish/gold hardware design theme that extends all the way to its 24 extra-jumbo Jescar EVOgold frets. Intended for high-performance modern music, it offers neck-thru-body construction, a 3-piece mahogany neck, Macassar ebony fingerboard, a single aggressive EMG 81 active pickup with a brushed gold cover, and a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru-body design.
The LTD Javier Reyes JR-7 is a 7-string version of the Animals As Leaders guitarist’s well-known 27” baritone scale ESP signature guitar. It offers neck-thru-body construction, a swamp ash body with quilted maple top, and a 5-piece walnut/maple/padauk neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard. Top-tier components on the JR-7 include a Hipshot bridge with string-thru-body, a set of Javier’s signature Fishman Javier Reyes Open Core Humbucker pickups, and a five-way super switch for pickup selection and coil splitting.
