ESP 901 Series Bengal - Custom Shop


Click to enlarge

  • A rare ESP model from the 901 series, crafted in Japan from the finest tone woods, an absolutely professional instrument with top class features, very comfortable and easy to play. However, this series is now long discontinued and has become a real rarity these days.
  • Finish: Transparent Cherry Sunburst with Bengal Tiger custom graphics. With black pickguard and chrome hardware.
  • Body: Ash, one-piece.
  • Neck: Maple of perfect quality. Bolt-on neck construction - this enables a fast, precise attack response, while retaining a full, 'fat' tone. ESP Queen Cut neck joint for super easy access to the upper frets.
  • Scale: 24.75' - like Gibson Les Paul, SG, Explorer etc., i.e. a 2 cm shorter scale than for instance a Stratocaster, resulting in better playability even with thicker string gauges.
  • Fretboard: Rosewood, with offset abalone dot inlays - a very noble looking instrument!
  • Binding: Cream, on the fretboard and headstock.
  • Frets: 24, medium - with a perfect fretjob, another famous feature of ESP instruments.
  • Headstock: ESP Vintage style, matching the body finish.
  • Tuners: Original ESP.
  • Bridge: ESP double-locking tremolo - stays perfectly in tune.
  • Pickups: 1x ESP SH-100 (neck), 1x ESP LH-300 (bridge) - this combination provides a lot of punch, offers an endless range of tonal possibilities and at the same time is very easy to control.
  • Electronics: 1x volume with push-pull tone switch, PU selector, 2x series/parallel switches.

  • Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftmanship, handling and sound! The overall quality is comparable to Custom Shop instruments made by the famous US guitar companies - which prices usually are in completely different price regions, though.

2008 Fender VG Stratocaster

 Very cool guitar from Fender.

Looking to step into the exciting world of modeling guitars but don't want to have to read an encyclopedia of a manual? The VG Strat may be for you! All of the familiar Strat features and tones but hot rodded with Fender/Roland's amazing VG technology. 37 sounds under the hood. Everything from vintage Strats and Teles to acoustics, 12 strings baritones and more Gibson flavors. No unique hardware is needed. Just plug it into an amp and go! Fender has really done a great job with these. Lots of useful settings. The electric guitars sound as they should and the acoustic simulations are great. There's even alternate tunings allowing you to play in open G or open D at the flip of the dial! The platform is the good old American Series Strat. The body is alder for good tone. The 25.5 inch scale maple neck features a 9.5 inch radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets. A trio of single coil pickups deliver classic tones. A 2 point trem and sealed American Series tuners keep it solid. This example is finished in cool Blizzard Pearl White. This color was only available to select dealers and is quite unique looking. A great guitar for the gigging pro!
This Strat plays great and has some killer tones. The big frets and modern C shaped neck make for easy playability. The virtual tunings open a new world of possibilities. Tons of tones in this guitar. Great for recording or gigging players.

The S-Series version of the Teye Electric Gypsy La India offers the classic Teye look with turquoise mosaic and chrome plated hardware. The hand-inlaid stabilized turquoise mosaic is exactly the same as on the A-Series guitars. Also, the new pick-up rings closely follow the A-Series of guitars. The S-Series is a fully hand-made boutique guitar, beautifully adorned, with the infamous full all-passive Teye-electronics. They share the heritage and vision of the more expensive A-Series, along with many components such as the exact same Lollar pickups and electronics panel. Select Mahogany body and neck, Bound Ebony Fingerboard, Mother-of-Pearl inlay, 24 frets, 25.5″ scale, Neck profile between C and D, very comfortable, Double-action truss rod, 2 hand-wound Jason Lollar special Humbucking pickups, The two pickup guitars are equipped with the same control harness as the three-pickup instruments, and are unbelievably versatile. The controls are: 2 Volumes (1 on the T-series) Master Tone control Master Mood control 5-way switch: (down) BRIDGE pickup BRIDGE + coil tapped NECK pickup, BRIDGE + NECK BRIDGE + NECK out-of-phase (´Peter Green´ sound), NECK pickup In combination with the Mood-knob, an incredible palette of sounds is achieved. No other 2-pickup guitar has this much under the hood. And as always: a totally intuitive control panel, and all sounds are musical and you will use them. Grover Imperial Super Rotomatic Tuners, sealed and lubricated 14:1-ratio The new machine-made Teye bridge and tailpiece for increased sustain and tone Special alloy laser-engraved aluminium body and headstock plates Hand-rubbed violin-type finish
