ESP LTD SD-2 Sammy Duet Guitar B-Stock
The SD-2 is a neck-thru instrument engineered for aggressive tracking and precision recording, with a comfortable extra thin U-profile neck that captures articulate picking dynamics without sacrificing upper fret access. Designed in collaboration with Sammy Duet of Goatwhore, this signature model translates his uncompromising approach to modern metal into hardware and electronics that perform at professional studio and stage standards. B-stock condition means factory cosmetic blemishes only—a new guitar at a significant discount.
Recording Playability & Response
The 3-piece mahogany neck-thru construction with bound Macassar ebony fingerboard delivers maximum sustain and zero fret-access limitations for tracking lead passages and layering rhythm parts. Twenty-four extra jumbo stainless steel frets on a 350mm radius with an extra thin U profile capture both articulate single-note work and dead-accurate chord definition across the full range, while glow-in-the-dark side markers and pearloid diamond inlays keep your position crystal clear during extended tracking sessions.
Studio Tone & Signal Chain
A single Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal active humbucker in the bridge position cuts through the mix with brutal articulation and full-bodied sustain, controlled by a single master volume pot for straightforward, intentional tone shaping during take selection and overdubs. The Floyd Rose 1000 SE double-locking tremolo system with locking nut maintains pitch stability through nuanced vibrato work and aggressive divebombs, while black LTD sealed diecast tuning machines with cloche heads ensure rock-solid tuning across multi-hour recording and production sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean, and will it affect the guitar's sound or playability?
B-Stock means this is a brand-new guitar with only minor factory cosmetic blemishes—no structural or tonal impact whatsoever. The guitar carries full manufacturer warranty and plays and sounds identical to a new retail unit, offering significant savings for a purely visual discount.
Is this guitar suitable for genres outside metal and hard rock?
The SD-2 is purpose-built for metal, thrash, djent, and hard rock; it is not designed for jazz, folk, or worship styles. The aggressive tone profile, locking tremolo system, and single bridge humbucker are optimized for heavy modern music.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar?
The SD-2 is designed for intermediate to advanced and professional players. The extra-thin U-profile neck and 24.75-inch scale favor experienced musicians comfortable with aggressive playing techniques and locking tremolo systems.
What's included, and what is the scale length?
The guitar ships with an original hard-shell case and original case candy. It features a 24.75-inch scale length, 1.65-inch locking nut width, and 350mm fingerboard radius with 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets.
How does the Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal humbucker compare to passive pickups?
The Blackouts Metal is an active pickup delivering high output, brutal articulation, and tight attack controlled by a single master volume pot. Active pickups require battery power (included) and offer more cut and sustain than standard passive humbuckers, ideal for dialing in aggressive tones.
