ESP Electric Guitars for Recording

For tracking heavy rhythm parts and tight leads, an ESP gives a producer a lot to work with. Consistent tuning stability and a focused, aggressive voice help high-gain tones sit clearly in a dense mix, and the range of body shapes gives you different tonal and tracking options for a session.

The E-II series covers most home-studio needs, with the Viper, Eclipse, Arrow, M-II and SN-III offering distinct feels for different parts. ESP Original is the premium step up for engineers building a signature guitar sound. Artist models, including Alexi Laiho, James Hetfield, George Lynch, Stephen Carpenter, Richard Z. Kruspe and Kirk Hammett, are handy when a project calls for a specific style of tone.

A left-handed model is available for lefty players, and B-Stock guitars can stretch a studio budget further. Studio Gears keeps the live grid below current, so you can compare options and add a dependable electric to your recording setup.
