The ESP Guitar Company

Built in Japan, the ESP E-II Series represents a new standard in high-quality guitars and basses. Designed for professional recording and touring players, ESP E-II guitars and basses bridge the gap between our premium ESP and LTD models, with great looks, sound, and craftsmanship built into each instrument.

Hand built by our master luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop. As ESP's highest-quality series of production guitars and basses, ESP Original Series offers a level of detail that borders on the obsessive, and is designed for serious musicians who accept zero compromise in the finest woods, components, and aesthetics.

Handcrafted in Southern California, these instruments continue ESP’s tradition of excellence in guitar building. Created with detailed precision, ESP USA guitars offer the craftsmanship, components, playability, and tone that give them a place among the finest instruments made by any manufacturer at any price. They are available through a select list of authorized ESP Guitars dealers and distributors worldwide.

Founded in 1996, the LTD brand helps bring the quality and prestige of ESP to a more affordable price in order to accommodate all players. A wide range of LTD models are made to cover everyone from beginning players to serious working musicians. With numerous different model families to choose from, we are sure there is an LTD guitar perfect for you.

The ESP/LTD Signature Series consists of guitars and basses co-designed by ESP and our elite family of artists. Embodying ESP’s long tradition of innovative and original designs, Signature Series instruments are built to the unique and exact specifications of each artist. Every guitar and bass in this series lives up to the standards of some of the most successful and respected musicians on the planet.

The TL Series is specifically designed to give musicians the sonic response of an acoustic guitar with the fast feel of an electric. They offer Fishman pickups and preamps for excellent natural-sounding acoustic response, along with a comfortable set-neck design for smooth and easy access to all points of the fingerboard, and a thin, lightweight body that’s perfect for all players.
