ESP Exhibition Series EXL FRX-CTM

When ESP's master luthiers in Japan get free rein to create whatever their imagination and skills can produce, the results transcend typical guitar categories. The Exhibition Limited Series represents that rare convergence of unlimited creativity and unmatched technical expertise - with only one of each model made available worldwide.

You're looking at a guitar that redefines what "custom" actually means. That quilted maple top and back sandwiching Jasver wood center isn't just visually stunning - it's a carefully engineered tonewood combination that delivers both sustain and articulate attack. The bird's eye maple neck provides structural stability while adding brightness that cuts through dense mixes.

Here's where the magic happens sonically: EMG 66 and 57 pickups give you the perfect balance of vintage warmth and modern aggression. The 66 in the neck position delivers smooth, singing leads, while the 57 bridge pickup provides the tight, focused crunch that modern rock demands. That brushed chrome pickup cover and tribal escutcheon aren't just aesthetic choices - they're part of a cohesive design vision that makes this guitar instantly recognizable.

The set-thru heel-less construction maximizes sustain and upper fret access, while the GOTOH tuners with anodized turquoise buttons show the attention to both function and form. At 7 pounds 4 ounces, it's substantial enough for serious sustain without causing fatigue during marathon sessions.

The cow skull inlay at the 12th fret and tribal bridge plate remind you this isn't just another high-end guitar - it's a unique artistic statement that happens to be a professional-grade instrument.
