Sound & Tone
Set-neck mahogany with a flamed maple top and a 24.75" scale gives the AS-1 FM a warm, resonant core with a firm attack, and the Tonepros locking bridge plus bone nut add sustain and note clarity. The Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck offers smooth, rounded warmth for jazz fusion phrasing and clean chord work, while the JB bridge pushes tight mids and cutting highs for high-gain metal and neoclassical lead lines. Passive volume/volume/tone controls with push/pull switching and a toggle let you move between those voices, making it a fit for technique-driven players who cross between clean and saturated tones.
ESP LTD Alex Skolnick AS-1 FM Lemon Burst Signature Electric Guitar
The AS-1 FM is built for players who demand precision, sustain, and tonal versatility in one package. Its comfortable body contours and smooth neck profile excel whether you're pushing fast neoclassical passages or laying into melodic jazz fusion lines. The striking lemon burst finish sits atop a tonally responsive platform that articulates clearly in high-gain metal contexts and stays musical in cleaner jazz settings—a signature model engineered for technique-focused players and working musicians who refuse to compromise on professional-grade tone or ergonomic comfort during long sets.
Playability & Feel
The set-neck construction with a 3-piece mahogany neck and U-contour profile locks in natural hand comfort and sustain you can feel throughout a set. A 24.75" scale with 22 XJ frets, 305mm fingerboard radius, and 43mm bone nut give you precision across fast runs and chord work, while Grover tuners hold your tuning stable through extended sessions and demanding playing styles.
Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup combination delivers clarity and articulation across genres, supported by a passive electronics layout featuring volume/volume/tone controls with push/pull function and a toggle switch. The Tonepros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece locks in your tuning retention and resonant sustain—critical when you're pushing this guitar hard night after night.
