Neil Westfall of A Day To Remember is known for his tight rhythm chops and searing metal tone. To carve his distinctive signature sound, Westfall relies on his LTD NW-44 artist model from ESP - a no-frills single-cutaway workhorse equipped with a powerful Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickup and super-solid Tonepros hardware.
Premium Construction
The LTD NW-44 is built around a thick Mahogany body that yields deep and focused lows with a harmonically-rich mid-range. Topped with a Maple cap, this material adds some crucial top-end sizzle and snap to help your playing cut through in a frantic mix.
Paired with a set-thru Mahogany neck, this type of construction gives the NW-44 piano-like sustain and makes it easy to access all of its 24 frets. Adorned with a silky smooth Macassar Ebony fingerboard, you can effortlessly glide up and down the neck - especially with its modern "Thin U" profile.
Bare Knuckle Aftermath Pickup
UK pickup brand Bare Knuckle are known for their expertise, with a host of rock and metal players relying on their high-quality products. Neil Westfall's signature model features their almighty Aftermath humbucker; a pickup that's perfect for the modern metal guitarist with its accelerated bass response that allows for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing. It has a crushing mid-range and delivers precise high-end articulation too, making it a fantastic pickup for use with high-gain amps.
