Overview

Celebrate 50 years of ESP with this limited-edition guitar.

The ESP LTD EC-2025 50th Anniversary electric guitar is a stunning tribute to ESP's legacy of crafting exceptional instruments. This limited-edition guitar, finished in a captivating Metallic Gold, combines classic design elements with modern features and premium appointments, making it a must-have for any guitarist who appreciates quality, versatility, and a touch of exclusivity.

Mahogany Body With Maple Cap and Set-Thru Construction for a Rich, Sustainful Tone

The EC-2025 features a mahogany body with a maple cap, a combination of tonewoods that delivers a warm, resonant tone with a balanced frequency response. The mahogany body provides a solid foundation with a rich midrange and focused low end, while the maple cap adds clarity and articulation to the high end. The set-thru construction further enhances the guitar's sustain and resonance, allowing notes to ring out with exceptional clarity and definition.

Seymour Duncan Pickups With Custom Covers for a Versatile Tonal Palette

This limited-edition electric guitar is equipped with an exclusive set of Seymour Duncan pickups: an APH-1N in the neck position and a Custom 14 in the bridge position. These pickups, adorned with custom covers, deliver a wide range of tones with exceptional clarity and definition. The APH-1N provides a vintage-inspired tone with a smooth, creamy character, while the Custom 14 offers a hot output and a punchy midrange that's perfect for rock and metal. The push-pull control on the tone knob allows you to split the humbuckers into single-coils, expanding the guitar's tonal versatility even further.

Macassar Ebony Fingerboard and Thin U Neck Profile for Effortless Playability

The EC-2025 features a Macassar ebony fingerboard that's known for its smooth feel and fast response. This premium fingerboard material adds a touch of "snap" to the attack, enhancing the guitar's overall clarity and articulation. The thin U neck profile provides exceptional comfort and speed, allowing for effortless transitions across the fretboard. With its 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets, this guitar is built for both speed and precision.

Premium Features and a Striking Finish

The ESP LTD EC-2025 is adorned with premium features that enhance its performance and aesthetics. The black hardware complements the guitar's sleek design, while the LTD locking tuners ensure smooth and precise tuning. The TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece provide exceptional tuning stability and intonation. The guitar's Metallic Gold finish is a striking visual statement that's sure to turn heads on stage. With its combination of exceptional tone, versatile electronics and comfortable playability, the EC-2025 is a true performer's instrument.
