ESP LTD SD-2 Sammy Duet Guitar B-Stock 2893
Description
ESP LTD SD-2 Sammy Duet Signature Guitar – Black B-Stock
The SD-2 is a neck-thru instrument engineered for high-gain recording and precision tracking, with an angular Random Star body that delivers focused, articulate tone both in isolation and within dense mixes. Designed in collaboration with Sammy Duet of Goatwhore, this signature model captures the sustain, upper-fret access, and uncompromising character that modern metal production demands. The B-stock condition means factory cosmetic blemishes only—a new instrument at a significant savings.
Tracking & Recording Response
Neck-thru-body construction maximizes sustain and provides seamless access to all 24 frets for full-range palm-muted rhythms and articulate lead work. The extra-thin U contour and 42mm locking nut keep response tight and consistent across multiple takes, while the 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets maintain precision intonation and durability across extended recording sessions. Glow-in-the-dark side markers assist navigation during late-night studio work.
Tone & Electronics
A single Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal AHB-2 active pickup delivers focused, articulate tone with enough gain for crushing rhythms and searing leads, while maintaining dynamic range and clarity. The Floyd Rose 1000 SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws locks in tuning stability and enables precise divebomb control.
