LTD SPARROWHAWK VSSB

The respected American metal band Mastodon makes music that’s like no other band, so it’s only fitting that guitarist Bill Kelliher has an ESP/LTD Signature Series guitar that is as unique as the player who helped create it. The newest update of the LTD Bill Kelliher Signature Series Sparrowhawk is being offered in an outstanding copper-tinged Vintage Silver Sunburst finish with multi-ply white/black binding on the body and headstock, and a fully bound neck. This guitar, built with set-thru construction at 24.75” scale, offers a mahogany body with maple cap, and a three-piece mahogany neck with a comfortable thin U-shaped contour. It has a Macassar ebony fingerboard with pearloid block inlays and 22 extra-jumbo frets. Components on the Sparrowhawk Vintage Silver Sunburst include nickel hardware with a TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece and LTD locking tuners. A big update on this latest Sparrowhawk is the set of Bill’s signature Mojotone Hellbender humbucker pickups. Designed for the duality of brutality and beauty, these nickel-covered pickups offer everything from raw and menacing tones to complex, articulate, and open cleans. Both the bridge and neck pickups may be split with push-pull controls on the volume and tone knobs. Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case.
