ESP FRX CTM Original Series Electric Guitar in See Thru Black Sunburst
The ESP FRX CTM is engineered for players who live on the fretboard—a supremely playable instrument built for speed and precision, with a neck profile and body balance that handles aggressive shredding just as well as articulate finesse. The see-through black sunburst finish turns heads on stage, while the electronics deliver tight, articulate high-end clarity paired with solid mid-range punch that cuts through any mix. This guitar rewards both rapid-fire licks and expressive bending with effortless responsiveness.
Playability & Feel
The U-type neck profile with carefully graduated thickness—0.787" at the first fret and 0.866" at the twelfth—sits naturally in your hand during extended sessions. The 3-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard and 24 XL Jumbo frets on a 12" radius support both durability and smooth, fast lateral movement, while the 42mm nut width provides comfortable string spacing without excess stretch.
Tone & Electronics
Seymour Duncan Sentient and Nazgûl pickups with a coil tap switch give you versatile voice options—from articulate single-coil clarity to full humbucker drive and everything between. The Floyd Rose Original bridge paired with Gotoh locking tuners locks in tuning stability through aggressive tremolo work, while the set-thru neck design and mahogany body with burled maple top sustain notes with tonal definition across the entire frequency range.
