ESP LTD AA-1 Alan Ashby Guitar Black Satin B-Stock with Case
The AA-1 delivers a comfortable, fast playing experience with its thin U-contour neck and 24-fret fingerboard that rewards both precision and speed. This neck-through construction mahogany body provides excellent sustain and resonance, while the black satin finish offers a professional appearance without the maintenance demands of high-gloss. Designed as a signature model for Alan Ashby, this guitar balances accessibility with serious tonal capability.
Playability & Feel
The 3-piece mahogany neck with thin U contour sits naturally in the hand, and the macassar ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius supports smooth bends and chord work across its 24 XJ Jescar EVOgold frets. The 42mm molded nut width accommodates standard string spacing, while the 24.75" scale maintains balanced string tension and facilitates extended range work.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 81 brushed gold pickup paired with active electronics delivers high-output clarity and articulation with powerful midrange presence. Hardware includes a TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-through design for tonal transfer and tuning stability, while LTD locking tuners maintain pitch integrity during aggressive play. Stock D'Addario XL110 strings (.010–.046) provide balanced response across the range.
