Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with quilted maple top and neck-thru construction give this ALR-II a thick midrange foundation with long, even sustain, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard and 24.75" scale add snap and a slightly warmer, easier-bending feel. The Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB Trembucker at the bridge pushes tight, high-output crunch and singing lead tones for hard rock and metal rhythm work, and the STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus neck single-coil switches gears to clearer, chimey cleans and bluesier phrasing without hum. With the Floyd Rose 1000 on board, dive bombs and vibrato-heavy playing stay in tune, making it a fit for players who move between aggressive riffing and expressive soloing.
ESP LTD ALR-II/QM See Thru Purple Guitar
The ALR-II/QM is built for players who demand speed, sustain, and reliability night after night. Its thin U-shaped neck profile and compound-radius fingerboard handle both lead and rhythm work without fatigue, while neck-thru-body construction locks in the kind of resonance and sustain that cuts through live mixes. The striking See Thru Purple finish over quilted maple turns heads on any stage.
Playability & Construction
The 24.75" scale paired with a three-piece maple neck and thin U-shaped profile sits naturally in hand for marathon sets. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with compound 11.81–15.75-inch radius accommodates both aggressive bending and precise technical work, while 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide durability and clear definition across the range. Luminlay side markers ensure visibility in any lighting condition.
Tone & Electronics
The electronics pairing of a Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB Trembucker at the bridge with a STK-S6 Custom Stack Plus single-coil in the neck position delivers versatility from aggressive high-output tones to articulate, chimey textures. The Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo maintains tuning stability through aggressive use, while ESP LTD locking tuners ensure reliable pitch retention.
