Description
ESP LTD SPARROWHAWK Guitar Vintage Silver Sunburst
The SPARROWHAWK delivers a thin U-shaped neck profile that feels immediate and responsive in hand, with a 24.75" scale length that balances classic comfort with modern playability across all frets. Set-thru construction anchors the mahogany body and maple top into a cohesive resonant chamber, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard at 350mm radius accommodates everything from open chords to aggressive lead work without restriction. The Vintage Silver Sunburst finish paired with nickel hardware creates a timeless aesthetic that performs as well as it looks.
Construction & Neck Design
Set-thru construction ensures seamless neck-to-body integration for enhanced sustain and tuning stability across extended playing sessions. The three-piece mahogany neck combined with a Macassar ebony fingerboard provides both tonal consistency and a smooth, durable playing surface, while the thin U contour and 42mm molded nut width facilitate fast lateral movement and clean articulation across all positions.
Tone & Electronics
MojoTone Hell Bender pickups with nickel covers deliver powerful output and dynamic range across blues, rock, and high-gain applications, with pull-activated coil-splitting on both neck and bridge positions for expanded single-coil textures. The electronics layout—volume (push/pull), tone (push/pull), and toggle switch—provides direct access to full humbucker character, split tones, and tonal shaping without complexity.
