Multi-scale Bass with a Bold Look and Sound
Every inch of the ESP LTD B-1005SE's adventurous neck is crafted for playability and tone. An Extra Thin U profile, with a 400mm-radius rosewood fingerboard and multi-scale frets, gives low strings deeper bass while making high strings easier to play and more tonally discrete. A swamp ash/rosewood body with Nordstrand P-style pickups and active 3-band EQ provides plenty of tone shaping to help your riffs and grooves find space in a mix. Finally, stable Gotoh tuners and an adjustable deluxe Hipshot Solo bridge system provide rock-solid intonation for the stage and studio.
