Description

The ESP Custom Shop Black Sparkle V is a powerhouse of style and sonic versatility, tailor-made for guitarists who crave a stage-ready instrument with an edge. This solid body electric guitar draws from the classic "V" shape, delivering both visual impact and a robust tonal foundation. Crafted from korina wood, it offers a resonant and balanced sound with enhanced sustain, perfect for heavy riffs and soaring solos.

The guitar's neck is a marvel of design, featuring a set-through maple construction with ESP's "Extra Thin-U" profile that ensures swift and comfortable playability across all 24 frets. This neck is topped with a luxurious Macassar ebony fingerboard, adorned with symmetric wave inlays that add a touch of sophistication to its menacing presence.

Electronics are where this guitar truly shines. Equipped with dual active EMG Bone Breaker pickups, this axe is ready to deliver everything from pristine cleans to earth-shattering distortion, thanks to its custom-voiced preamp. The combination of ceramic and alnico magnets offers a dynamic range that is as versatile as it is powerful, allowing you to explore a wide array of tones with ease.

Gig-ready hardware, including a locking TOM-style bridge and locking LTD tuners, ensures that your performance is as seamless as it is electrifying. Whether you're in the studio or dominating the stage, the ESP Custom Shop Black Sparkle V is your ultimate partner in crime.
