The EXL Black Metal takes our standard EX body shape and offers it in a slightly larger design, providing excellent playing balance, beefy tone, and a literally bigger stage presence. This guitar is built to rock, with the tonal versatility and inherent playability you expect from ESP, all in a diabolical Black Red Burst Satin finish. It’s built with set-thru construction at 24.75” scale for smooth access to the highest frets and a great playing feel for huge string bends. It also features a mahogany body, a thin u-shaped three-piece maple neck, and a Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Components on the EXL Black Metal include black hardware, LTD locking tuners, a TonePros locking TOM-style bridge and tailpiece, and a Seymour Duncan MortalCoil 3-Voice active bridge pickup with a 3-way toggle to select voices.
