ESP LTDBW-1 EverTune

See Thru Black Ben Weinman Signature

The BW-1 EverTune is one of the most unique and innovative high performance guitars in the LTD Signature Series.

Created by Ben Weinman, a founding member of mathcore geniuses The Dillinger Escape Plan and a highly respected player whose combination of speed and feel has landed him on many best of guitarist lists, the BW-1's most notable feature is its EverTune constant tension bridge.

The BW-1 EverTune is a neck-through-body design at 25.5" scale, with a chambered mahogany body and flamed maple top, and binding on the body, neck, and headstock. It offers a fast three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck with an ebony fingerboard that includes 24 extra-jumbo frets.

The sound of this guitar is powered by a set of Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickups with nickel covers. These pickups allow for a remarkable degree of sonic flexibility. Two separate voicings are selectable via the push-pull on the tone control (down for “Modern Active” tone, or up for “Modern Passive Attack”).

This model utilizes a standard 9V battery and comes in See Thru Black finish.
