Do you make any LTD EX with a Floyd Rose or would I have to have that done myself?

    Hi Xavier, we currently do not offer one with an FR bridge, but we have offered a 300 & 400 series in the past with FR bridge. I would search for EX-401FR and see if you can find any old new stock or used. If not yes you would have to mod a guitar, which is quite a bit of work so I would not recommend to do that. The main reason is that a guitar we build with an FR bridge will have a lower neck angle. You can put an FR on a guitar with more neck angle but the end result is you have an FR bridge that sits too high off the body and is uncomfortable to play.

      Is there an option for a reverse headstock on these?

          Why are these "Ex" guitars are made with maple necks and not mahogany? How does this affect the sound?

            Hi Moises, Maple necks are stronger and produce a more aggressive sound that is sharper and more focused. More clarity and more high end compared to mahogany.

              I really love how balanced and well-constructed your guitars are. Would love to see EX401 in different colours and maybe available with a satin finish? Get them indie shreddz

               

              (ps, would you ever consider an ‘F-type’ guitar?)

                Hi Ashley, glad to hear this. Thanks for your suggestions as well. We've done some different finishes over the years. Check out the FX360 PBS (Padauk Brown Stain) from a few years back. We do make an F series and FRX series guitars, not sure if that's what you're asking.

                  I think I’ve seen that one, it’s kinda got an EC-1000 Koa vibe to it. And though I’ve heard of your F series I didn’t think to distinguish them from what I meant to ask so my apologies there.

                  I was asking about if ESP or LTD had ever done a Firebird style guitar? Softer curves, set-through, stopbar bridge, etc

                    Hi Ashley, OK. I see what you were looking for. Yes we have made some guitars similar to a Firebird in the past but we don't currently offer them. The old original model was called the ESP Phoenix. Then we made some LTD Phoenix-200 and Phoenix-1000 guitars as well as some Phoenix-1004, Phoenix-204 basses. You can also check out the Bill Kelliher Sparrowhawk model which would be the closest thing we offer now.

                      Look up the Phoenix from a few years back. They made a 200, 400, and 1000 series in the early 2010s, and i believe they go anywhere from 400-1200 USD.
