With the ESP LTD Arrow-NTW Black Metal , the Japanese company expands the Black Metal series, which is fully designed for tight metal playing, with an aggressively styled Arrow model with a fixed bridge and a poisonous EMG pickup.
At the heart of this gun-sharp offset design lies the straight-through, three-piece maple neck , with a slim Thin-U profile that allows tight riffs and blazing solos emerge with ease. To ensure a secure grip on every note even on dark stages, fluorescent side dots in the flank of the Macassar ebony fingerboard mark the layers between the 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets.
The only pickup on the LTD Black Metal Arrow-NT is an active EMG 81 humbucker , which has been the benchmark for brute distortion sounds for 40 years. With sharply focused mids and a well-dosed portion of poison in the treble, the pickup allows every note to cut through the mix with maximum assertiveness, even with drop tunings. In addition to the TonePros locking bridge , which can be locked firmly onto its bolts, LTD locking tuners complete the LTD Arrow-NT Black Metal by ESP.
