ESP FRX Kiso Custom Guitar in See Thru Black Sunburst
The ESP FRX Kiso Custom delivers a thin, fast neck profile paired with a set-thru construction that maximizes sustain and resonance for rich, articulate tracking. The quilted maple top and see-thru black sunburst finish provide visual character that translates well on camera, while the ebony fingerboard and 24 jumbo frets support precise intonation and smooth upper-register work across multiple takes. This Japan-made instrument combines professional-grade hardware with versatile electronics suited to a range of production styles and session demands.
Construction & Recording Tone
Built with a mahogany body, quilted maple top, and 3-piece maple neck, this guitar delivers solid midrange projection and warmth that cuts through dense mixes. The set-thru neck joint ensures excellent sustain and resonance, critical for layered recordings and overdubs, while the ebony fingerboard adds clarity and definition to recorded tracks. Paired with Seymour Duncan '59 (neck) and Distortion (bridge) pickups, the FRX captures everything from warm, driven rhythm textures to articulate lead lines and high-gain production work.
Playability & Studio Stability
The thin U neck contour and 25.5" scale enable long tracking sessions with minimal fatigue, while the 305mm fingerboard radius accommodates both open voicings and precise lead work. A 42mm locking nut and Floyd Rose Original bridge maintain rock-solid tuning across multiple takes and tuning variations, complemented by Gotoh locking tuners and Schaller straplock buttons for consistent setup reliability in the studio.
