Description

ESP LTD Sparrowhawk Guitar Vintage Silver Sunburst B-Stock

The Sparrowhawk sits naturally in your hands with its Thin U neck contour and 24.75" scale length, balancing classic feel against modern responsiveness. Bill Kelliher's signature model pairs aggressive metal aggression with sophisticated harmonic range, all supported by set-thru mahogany and maple construction that translates equally well through high-gain riffs and pristine clean passages. As a B-Stock unit, you're acquiring a brand-new instrument with only minor cosmetic blemishes at a significant discount.

Playability & Feel

The 3-piece mahogany neck set through the body locks in rock-solid sustain and resonance under extended playing, while the Macassar ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets delivers fast, effortless fretting action across the neck. A molded nut at 42mm width and high-visibility pearloid block inlays complete the player-focused design—refined enough for studio tracking, durable enough for nightly stage punishment.

Tone & Electronics

Signature Mojotone Hellbender humbuckers with nickel covers voice everything from scorching metal fury to crystal-clear articulate tones. Push/pull coil-splitting on both volume and tone opens single-coil textures mid-set without reaching for a backup, while solid TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece hardware holds pitch rock-solid and transmits every ounce of tonal detail through long nights on stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does B-Stock mean, and does it affect playability or tone?

B-Stock means this is a brand-new Sparrowhawk with only minor cosmetic blemishes from open-box or display handling—purely superficial marks that have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. You receive the complete manufacturer warranty and a significant discount compared to new retail pricing.

How does the coil-split system work, and what tones can I get?

Push/pull switches on both volume and tone knobs tap the Mojotone Hellbender humbuckers into single-coil mode, unlocking dynamic textures ranging from ferocious metal aggression to articulate, chimey cleans without needing a second guitar. The 3-way toggle lets you select bridge, neck, or both pickups in any configuration.

Is the Thin U neck comfortable for metal and extended playing?

The Thin U contour bridges vintage ergonomics with modern performance, offering a familiar grip that suits both studio precision and stage demands. Combined with the 24-fret Macassar ebony fingerboard and 350mm radius, it supports fast, responsive playability across metal, progressive, and hard-rock styles.

What comes in the box, and what hardware keeps it in tune?

The package includes a form-fit hardshell ESP Sparrowhawk case and D'Addario XL110 strings. Hardware features a solid TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece paired with LTD locking tuners, ensuring tuning stability during extended play and heavy string abuse.

How does the set-thru construction affect sustain and tone?

The 3-piece mahogany neck set through the mahogany body delivers rock-solid structural stability and sustain, while the maple top adds brightness and articulation that cuts through high-gain mixes and remains dynamic on clean tones.
