ESP's ST body takes classic double-cutaway style to a whole new level

It doesn't get much more iconic than ESP's ST body style. The smooth contour of this double-cutaway design makes the LTD Elite ST-1 ESP a real pleasure to play. For instance, a scooped back contour makes the LTD Elite ST-1 ESP extra comfortable to play, even when you're leaning over to pull of extra technical picking and tapping techniques. Not only does the deep bottom cutaway allow you to reach those extremely high frets, the contoured neck heel makes playing up there super comfortable.

Active EMG metal tone meets the versatility of an H/S/S setup

If you're into aggressive rock and metal, then this is the kind of H/S/S you've got to get your hands on. Back at the bridge, ESP hooked the LTD Elite ST-1 ESP up with an EMG 81, the razor-sharp and ultra-hot active humbucker that practically defines the sound of metal. Up front and in the middle, the LTD Elite ST-1 ESP sports a pair of EMG SA active single-coil pickups, which give you a clear and extremely expressive tone - killer for solos. And since there's a bar magnet running through the SA models, you can bend all you want without giving up an ounce of tone. How cool is that?
