ESP LTD GUITARS SERIAL NUMBER IDENTIFICATION SERIES
Thin-skin satin and gloss nitro finishes on the Vintage Series builds help add to the aura and vintage connection of these guitars-not to mention the beautiful way they will wear over time. Other boutique electronics and parts include Emerson capacitors, Stellartone Varitone switches, custom Bakelite pickguards, and new-old-stock or vintage-style knobs. Novak Classic Pickups, for example, creates custom and traditional pickup winds that are produced by hand on a Leo Fender-inspired coil winder. The wood, processed by Tempered Tonewoods, is exposed to heat, water (no chemicals), and a vacuum resulting in an extremely stable, lightweight medium that produces a beautifully broad harmonic footprint and super-long sustain-as if it had been aging naturally for decades.Īsher offers up a variety of specialty electronics and pickups to enhance or emulate various desired tonal qualities. The Vintage Series guitars have distinct Asher styling and details such as quality old-school American craftsmanship, tempered tonewoods, custom-designed electronics, nitro finishes, and, of course, the distinctive “holy grail tone” that guitarists crave.Īsher uses “roasted” bodies and necks to produce a supremely aged woody tone and character.
