One-Of-A-Kind Guitars Crafted by the Master Luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop
For more than 50 years, the master luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop in Tokyo, Japan have created some of the most extraordinary guitars in the history of the world. These artisans spend their entire lives perfecting the art of guitar craft, and in addition to the flawless instruments they make for our customers’ custom orders, each year they are also allowed to push their own creativity to the maximum level and build the guitars of their own dreams. The result is the annual ESP Exhibition Limited Series; a collection of fine art in the form of musical instruments.
These guitars feature elements like ESP’s most rare and coveted wood stocks, special wood processing, experimental painting techniques, and unique hand-built hardware. Only one of each model has been created. Contact the ESP dealer listed on each model for purchase information.
