ESP Arrow Series Guitars

V guitars are divisive, but many extreme metal players adore them for their stealthy, weapon-like aesthetics. ESP and LTD Arrow guitars definitely fit this mould, with their asymmetrical shape and sleek body contours. To match their modern looks, these models have a number of contemporary features too.

The most noteworthy element of their design is their neck-thru construction. Enhancing sustain, a neck-thru joint also ensures excellent access to all 24 of the Arrow’s frets, with its smooth and sculpted heel. With their construction in mind, ESP and LTD Arrows have bright-sounding Maple necks and either Mahogany or Alder bodies. While Mahogany emits a darker tone, Alder is more lively with extra mid-range focus for technical riffs.

The majority of ESP and LTD Arrow electric guitars come with active EMG humbuckers. Able to handle copious amounts of gain should you wish; these pickups aren’t just one-trick ponies, as they sound clear and articulate with clean amp settings too. In terms of their hardware, ESP Arrow guitars are equipped with either Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo systems or tune-o-matic bridges. So, whether you’re a fan of crazy whammy bar acrobatics or prefer a more solid, lower maintenance design; both preferences are catered for.
