Description
ESP LTD MIRAGE DELUXE '87 Guitar Snow White
The MIRAGE DELUXE '87 is engineered for capturing articulate, high-definition performances in the studio. Its extra thin U-shaped maple neck and flat 13.78" radius fingerboard enable fast, precise tracking takes and comfortable string bending during session work. The bolt-on alder body produces a bright, punchy attack with defined sustain that cuts through dense mixes, while the Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo maintains rock-solid tuning stability across multiple overdubs and aggressive whammy bar effects. Snow White finish with gold hardware delivers a professional appearance in video documentation or live streaming applications.
Recording & Session Performance
The three-piece extra thin U-shaped maple neck reduces fatigue during marathon tracking sessions and facilitates seamless position shifts for layered rhythm and lead parts across the 25.5" scale length. Extra jumbo frets on the bound Macassar ebony fingerboard provide consistent contact and clarity for precise intonation recording, while the 1 11/16" nut width and locking hardware eliminate tuning drift between takes even with heavy tremolo modulation.
Tone Shaping for Mix-Ready Recordings
The pickup pairing of Seymour Duncan Hot Rail neck and Seymour Duncan TB-6 Distortion bridge delivers a full frequency spectrum for tracking. Thick, warm neck tones work well for layered rhythm passes, while the bridge's high output and aggressive character excels for lead definition and saturated overdrive textures. Push-pull coil splits accessible via the tone control unlock additional single-coil textures for tonal variety within a single session without requiring instrument changes, and the 3-way switch with master volume controls provides quick tone adjustments between passes.
