Key Features
Product Ref: 114100
The Alex Skolnick Signature Guitar is powered by a pair of Seymour Duncan AS Signature Pickups at the neck and bridge. These Signature pickups were designed to accommodate the variety of different styles and genres that Alex plays. This humbucker set produce tones ranging from fat, full and melodic, to heavy, aggressive and punchy. Overall, the AS Signature Pickups yield rich and harmonic tones at the neck, and a heavy, high-output sound at the bridge.
The ESP Signature Alex Skolnick Guitar features the iconic ESP Eclipse body along with a comfortable single cutaway, providing easy access to the higher frets. The guitar has a stunning appearance with a Lemon Burst over the unique grain of the flame maple. The body is crafted from mahogany, delivering a sound with warmth and resonance, as well as good bite and sustain. The mahogany features a flame maple top for enhanced brightness, clarity and overall a fuller sound.
The set-thru neck construction provides enhanced sustain, as well as increased strength and sturdiness. The neck is made from mahogany, which yields rich tones with good sonic warmth, as well as durability. The rosewood fingerboard enhances the overall tone with a warm character, opening the mids up to create articulated harmonics. The neck's U-shaped profile is perfect for quick shredding like Alex's own style, allowing players to easily navigate the fingerboard without losing any comfort.
The ESP Alex Skolnick Guitar features an innovative TonePros Locking Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Tail piece system which eliminates a problem which some guitarists may have encountered. The lack of stability when the strings are removed, sometimes causes the bridge/tailpiece to fall off and minor, meaning that unwanted adjustments to the bridge height need to be made. The TonePros Locking Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Tailpiece make that a thing of the past, with high tension springs fitted into the attachments, the bridge now clips and locks into place without the use of tools and also increases sustain by up to 20. This Alex Skolnick Guitar also features Gotoh Locking Tuners that are designed to provide players with excellent tuning stability and reliability.
Alex Skolnick is recognised as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and he is considered one of the fastest too. Skolnick has been playing guitar since the age of 9, and became a student of guitarist and tutor, Joe Satriani. Throughout his career, he has explored an array of different styles and genres, including playing with thrash metal band Testament and jazz group The Alex Skolnick Trio. Skolnick's Signature guitars with ESP are designed to accommodate for a range of different styles, which Alex himself requires.
