In addition to the impeccable instruments that the ESP Custom Shop in Tokyo crafts for individual customer orders all year round, once a year, ESP’s master luthiers take their extraordinary skill and craftsmanship to the task of building a guitar of their own dreams. Representing the top tier of each artisan’s individual artistry, the ESP Exhibition Series brings together a showcase of ESP instruments, each of which is, in and of itself, a one-of-a-kind work of art.
Exclusively available at Chicago Music Exchange, the ESP EX23-19 FRX CTM sports a set-neck construction, which joins a beautiful birdseye maple neck and ebony fingerboard to a Honduran mahogany body, topped with flamed maple and finished in a transfixing Red with Blue Honeycomb design that’s all its luthier’s own.
Outfitted with a Floyd Rose Original bridge (w/ 37mm Fat Block), Gotoh locking tuners, and Aluminum Red control knobs, this utterly unique instrument comes equipped with a pair of Bare Knuckle Cold Sweat pickups and metal honeycomb pickup covers to match the finish for a striking effect that’s sure to cause a buzz in any room this guitar is in—whether it’s being played, or hanging on display, as part of any art collection.
