General

The 2013 Elite series by LTD offers you the same refined quality as its ESP counterpart at a more friendly price. These professional instruments were made by the same skilled guitar builders in the Japanese ESP factory. This red-transparent ST-1 is made of high-quality wood types and is equipped with first-grade hardware. Its body is made of alder with a marvellous quilted-maple top adorned in a See Thru Black Cherry finish. Neck and fretboard are also made of maple and feature 24 extra-jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl position markers.

ESP LTD Elite ST-1: Seymour Duncan & Floyd Rose

You can instantly tell the LTD Elite is a high-end instrument from its hardware and pickups. This electric guitar was bestowed with a set of powerful Seymour Duncan pickups, a wicked JB humbucker in the bridge position and a whispering Classic Stack Plus single-coil in the middle and neck positions that make this guitar suitable for numerous types of music (from country to blues to rock to metal). The bridge of the ST-1 is a Floyd Rose Original tremolo, which is a very smooth and stable floating bridge to create subtle or dramatic vibrato effects.

Made in Japan by ESP's guitar builders

It is a dream of many guitarists to own a high-end ESP guitar some day. However, these highly professional instruments are very costly indeed, which is why ESP started their daughter company LTD. LTD produces budget versions of ESP guitars. However, the LTD Elite series offers you the best of both worlds - the high-quality finish of a hand-built Japanese ESP at a price that is more towards that of affordable Indonesian and Korean LTD guitars. Ideal for professional players on a budget.
