ESP\u2019s custom shop in Tokyo, Japan, unleashed a line of one-of-a-kind instruments crafted by their master luthiers. The Exhibition Limited Series 2023 was an opportunity for the world-class builders to express their creativity, and they proved their artistry is top-notch. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese guitars feature elements like ESP\u2019s most rare and coveted wood stocks, special wood processing, experimental painting techniques, and unique hand-built hardware,\u201d the company shared. \u201cOnly one of each model has been created.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lineup included one bass: the OM Bass-6. Built with neck-through construction, the six-string bass features an astonishing set of exhibition-grade woods and an intricate inlay that stretches across the fingerboard, body, and pickup covers. <\/p>\n

The bass centers around a seven-piece neck made from maple, walnut, and purpleheart. Its body wings are mahogany with a burled maple back, while it has a burled maple top. ESP\u2019s craftsmen mixed a natural finish with an ocean blue finish at the bottom. <\/p>\n

The intricate inlays seem to display skeletons drinking and playing music around a bonfire. It crosses from the Macassar ebony fingerboard onto the top piece and across the neck pickups Macassar ebony cover. <\/p>\n

For electronics, ESP opted for a pair of Aguilar AG 6SD-D4 pickups with a three-band EQ. Hardware includes a Gotoh Locking Tuners and a KUSABI-6 bridge.<\/p>\n
