Custom shop order (full custom shop piece) in Vintage Silver Sunburst - Brand new with factory warranty
Built by hand, one at a time, by the master luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan. Bill Kelliher is the respected guitarist for award-winning American metal band Mastodon, and this custom shop version of his LTD Signature Series BK-600 is, in a word, incredible.
Based on the single-cutaway ESP Eclipse shape, this custom piece stands out with its copper-tinged Vintage Silver Sunburst finish and 7-ply binding on the body and 5-ply on the headstock. This piece offers traditional full body thickness and no waist cut, and is designed to provide the wide range of tones needed for Mastodon’s music while being sturdy and reliable enough for his most punishing rhythms and brutal riffs throughout long tours. Pickups are a set of Bill’s signature Mojotone Hellbender humbucker pickups.
Designed for the duality of brutality and beauty, these nickel-covered pickups offer everything from raw and menacing tones to complex, articulate, and open cleans. Both the bridge and neck pickups may be split with push-pull controls on the volume and tone knobs. This piece offers set-thru construction at 24.75” scale for unencumbered access to the highest frets, with a mahogany body, a bound three-piece mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets and mother of pearl ESP flag inlays. Other professional features include Gotoh locking tuners and a TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece, and an ESP deluxe hardshell case is included.
This guitar is available and includes a high quality original ESP hardshell case and COA.
