Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and neck-thru construction give the SD-2 a thick, sustaining midrange, while the 24.75" scale keeps string tension slacker for a warm, punchy low end under heavy distortion. The lone Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal AHB-2 active bridge pickup pushes high output with tight, articulate attack, cutting cleanly through dense rhythm work and staying defined on fast tremolo picking and leads. With a Floyd Rose 1000 SE for divebombs and 24 frets on a Macassar ebony board for bright top-end snap, it's aimed squarely at black, death, and thrash metal players who need one focused, aggressive voice rather than a range of clean tones.
ESP LTD SD-2 Sammy Duet Signature Guitar – Black B-Stock
The SD-2 is a neck-thru instrument built for aggression and precision, with an angular Random Star body that commands attention both visually and sonically. Designed in collaboration with Sammy Duet of Goatwhore, this signature model delivers the sustain, upper-fret access, and uncompromising tone that modern metal demands. The B-stock condition means factory cosmetic blemishes only—a new instrument at a significant savings.
Playability & Feel
Neck-thru-body construction ensures maximum sustain and seamless access to all 24 frets, while the extra-thin U contour and 42mm locking nut keep the instrument fast and responsive under aggressive play. The 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets are built for durability and precision, and glow-in-the-dark side markers provide high-visibility navigation during stage performance.
Tone & Electronics
A single Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal AHB-2 active pickup delivers focused, articulate tone with enough gain for crushing rhythms and searing leads, while maintaining dynamic range and clarity. The Floyd Rose 1000 SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws locks in tuning stability and enables precise divebomb control.
