    ESP LTD Arrow Black Metal Electric Guitar

    The ESP LTD Arrow Black Metal is here to melt faces! Finished in a Black Red Burst Satin with a red metal LTD logo on the headstock, this neck-thru-body beast is built at a 25.5" scale for players who demand professional playability and reliability on every searing lead line and bone-crushing riff. Background music? This guitar doesn't know the meaning of the words. It's the axe you grab when the lights go down, and the crowd loses its mind.

    Built to Handle the Heaviest Riffs

    A guitar's construction is the difference between a reliable stage weapon and something that buckles under pressure. The Arrow Black Metal skips the shortcuts and goes straight for neck-thru-body construction, the kind of build that serious metal players actually ask for by name.

    • Neck-Thru-Body Design: The neck runs straight through the body instead of bolting on, improving sustain and resonance so every note rings out with authority.
    • Mahogany Body Wings: Mahogany wings flank the neck for added warmth and low-end punch, rounding out the aggressive tones this guitar is built to deliver.
    • Reverse Headstock: Better string tension across the lower registers means your palm-muted chugs stay tight and your tuning stays put.

    A Neck and Fretboard Made for Speed

    Shredding through a solo is a lot less fun on a neck that fights back. ESP designed the Arrow Black Metal's neck and fretboard to disappear under your fingers, so the only thing standing between you and the next riff is your own ambition.

    • Three-Piece Extra-Thin U-Shaped Maple Neck: A slim profile built for fast playing, without sacrificing the stability of a multi-piece construction.
    • Macassar Ebony Fingerboard: Smooth, dense, and dark, Macassar Ebony adds clarity and snap to every note you fret.
    • 24 Extra-Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets: Full range for your highest leads, with stainless steel that resists wear and keeps your bends feeling buttery for years.

    Hardware That Won't Tap Out

    Nothing matters if the hardware can't keep pace with a brutal set. The Arrow Black Metal pairs precision components with an active pickup built for modern metal, so you get the tone and tuning stability to match the playability.

    • Seymour Duncan Mortal Coil 3-Voice Active Bridge Pickup: A 3-way toggle lets you switch voices on the fly, covering everything from tight metal rhythm to searing lead tone.
    • Floyd Rose 1000 Double-Locking Tremolo Bridge: Dive bomb all you want. This locking system keeps your tuning rock solid no matter how hard you lean into it.
    • Grover Tuners with Black Hardware: Precise tuning stability wrapped in a blacked-out finish that matches the guitar's entire menacing look.

    A Guitar Ready for the Pit

    The ESP LTD Arrow Black Metal was built for players who need speed, stability, and tone that can keep up with the heaviest sets. Between its neck-thru-body construction, fast-playing neck, and metal-ready electronics, this is a guitar that doesn't ask you to compromise. It just asks you to plug in.
