Sound & Tone
The bolt-on alder body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard give a bright, articulate foundation, while the 25.5" scale and string-thru-body flat-mount bridge add snap and sustain to each note. The ESP TS-120 single-coil in the bridge delivers clear, cutting bite for driving rhythm parts, and the ESP Designed LH-200 humbucker in the neck adds a fuller, warmer voice for smoother leads, with the 3-way switch blending the two for added range. It's a natural fit for blues, classic rock, and Rolling Stones-style rhythm playing, from crisp, chiming chord work to rounder, singing solos.
ESP Ron Wood Signature Electric Guitar – Black (Made in Japan)
Holding its own among Ronnie Wood’s invaluable collection of classic guitars, the ESP Ron Wood Signature is a masterfully crafted instrument built for one of rock music’s most iconic guitarists. Handcrafted by the expert luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, this model captures the timeless tone, feel, and style that has defined The Rolling Stones’ sound for more than four decades.
Frequently seen onstage during nearly every Stones tour over the past 20+ years, the ESP Ron Wood Signature delivers a traditional vibe elevated to elite modern standards of tone, reliability, and playability.
Classic Bolt-On Design with Premium Feel
Featuring a bolt-on construction and 25.5” scale length, the ESP Ron Wood pairs a comfortable, fully-bound alder body with a smooth-playing maple neck and maple fingerboard. Its rounded U-shaped neck contour and 22 medium frets provide a familiar, broken-in feel that suits blues, rock, and classic rhythm work.
Versatile Pickup Configuration
The ESP Ron Wood Signature is equipped with a carefully voiced pickup pairing that delivers both warmth and bite. An ESP Designed LH-200 humbucker in the neck position provides full, rich tones, while the ESP TS-120 single-coil in the bridge offers clarity, snap, and classic bite. Together, they cover everything from smooth leads to cutting rhythm tones via a 3-way selector switch.
Vintage-Inspired Hardware & Appointments
Staying true to its traditional roots, this guitar includes a bone nut, Gotoh tuners, and a traditional flat-mount bridge with string-thru-body design for excellent tuning stability and sustain. Chrome hardware, a multi-ply pickguard, and ESP strap locks complete the classic aesthetic.
