ESP LTD Ted Aguilar EC Electric Guitar Black

The Ted Aguilar EC is built for intermediate to professional players comfortable with progressive metal, hard rock, and modern fusion. Its thin U-contour neck and 24 extra-jumbo frets are forgiving for technical work, but the instrument's character—aggressive electronics and dynamic response—shines in the hands of players who exploit its full range.

The EMG 60 neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup are active electronics that deliver articulate low-end and aggressive high-frequency definition. The 60 captures nuance and warmth for rhythm work, while the 81 provides the cutting aggression needed for lead lines and solos in loud, dense mixes.

The Ted Aguilar EC excels in progressive metal, hard rock, and modern fusion where clarity and articulation drive the music. It's less suited to traditional jazz, folk, or country styles, where warmer, less aggressive tones are typically preferred.

The neck-through design uses a 3-piece mahogany neck with a thin U contour that provides superior sustain, stability, and comfort across extended playing sessions. The 24.75" scale and 42mm nut width support both lead and rhythm work, while the 350mm fingerboard radius and 24 extra-jumbo frets enable smooth articulation and bend control.

The Ted Aguilar EC features a recessed Gotoh TOM bridge with string-through body anchoring, LTD locking tuners with pearloid buttons, and black hardware throughout. This combination ensures tuning stability and clear sustain, with the string-through design adding resonance to the mahogany body and maple cap.
