The master luthiers at our ESP USA Shop in Southern California occasionally create special limited-edition versions of these masterfully-built instruments. With the ESP USA M-II Hardtail Lacewood, you get the visual beauty of a hand-selected, figured lacewood top, highlighted by a layer of walnut underneath. The guitar’s body is swamp ash, offering the best of both worlds with comfortable playing weight and excellent resonance. It offers a quarter-sawn, satin-finished, extra-thin maple neck, and a maple fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo Jescar FW57110 frets. A Hipshot fixed bridge with string-thru-body design offers excellent stability and sustain. The USA M-II Hardtail Lacewood includes Seymour Duncan’s high-end Saturday Night Special Humbucker pickup set, with Alnico 4 magnets to deliver the desirable muscular, '70s “overbuilt”, yet clear tones you want.
