ESP and the more affordable ESP LTD line build sleek, metal-focused guitars — thin fast necks, aggressive body shapes and hot, usually active (EMG) humbuckers. They’re the metal standard for Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield and countless modern bands. Being bright, hot and tight, matching an ESP record on a vintage humbucker guitar means adding gain and trimming the low end — exactly what GuitarToneAdapt re-dials for your rig.
