Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The LTD Deluxe RS-1000 brings ESP’s Random Star body shape to a neck-through, 24.75-inch-scale electric guitar. Mahogany body wings and an extra-thin U three-piece maple neck are paired with 24 stainless-steel frets on a Macassar ebony fingerboard. Its direct-mount EMG 81 bridge pickup delivers tight low end and sharp attack, while the EMG 85 neck pickup is fuller and smoother for sustained, expressive lines. A Floyd Rose 1000SE double-locking tremolo supports dive bombs, pull-ups and wide vibrato with tuning stability.
Strong match
Who this is for
