Description
Sound & Tone
The Fishman Fluence Richard Z Signature pickups set the character here: a Modern alnico neck voice that stays warm and defined for cleans and lead work, and a Modern ceramic bridge with the high output and cut needed for tight rhythm playing. Neck-thru construction with an alder body and 25.5" scale adds sustain and a focused, articulate attack, while 24 extra-jumbo frets on rosewood keep upper-register runs clear. It's aimed squarely at modern metal and progressive players, with a Floyd Rose Original for dive-bomb and vibrato work that holds pitch.
ESP & LTD RZK-1 Guitar with ESP Case
The ESP RZK-1 is a high-performance instrument built for aggressive playing styles and extended range work. Its neck-thru construction and contoured body deliver responsive feedback and sustain, while the Richard Z Floyd signature design balances comfort with professional touring durability.
Playability & Feel
The 25.5" scale neck-thru-body design with satin-finished maple ensures fast, fatigue-free playing sessions, even during lengthy performances. The rosewood fingerboard paired with 24 extra-jumbo frets provides the articulation and reach demanded by modern metal and progressive styles. On stage, this neck profile tracks reliably through bends and vibrato work without fret noise or dead spots.
Tone & Live Performance
Fishman Fluence Richard Z Signature Series pickups deliver articulate, responsive tones across the frequency spectrum—Modern alnico in the neck for warm, defined clarity and Modern ceramic in the bridge for aggressive output. The Floyd Rose Original tremolo maintains tuning stability through demanding effects work, keeping your rig roadworthy night after night.
