ESP has always combined a passion for high-performance electric guitars with a genuine commitment to craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from the golden eras of rock and metal. The Japanese brand has earned a strong reputation among demanding guitarists thanks to instruments that combine excellent ergonomics, precise construction and outstanding tonal performance. Its LTD range brings this distinctive DNA to a wider audience, while the Deluxe Series stands out for its remarkable Korean craftsmanship, featuring meticulous finishes, outstanding assembly quality and a level of refinement that can rival instruments in considerably higher price brackets.

The LTD Horizon CTM '87 is a genuine tribute to the golden age of electric guitars. This series was designed to bring back one of the iconic models that helped establish ESP's success during the 1980s, faithfully capturing its distinctive aesthetic and performance-driven character. With its stunning Pearl White finish, instantly recognizable Horizon body shape and neck-thru construction, this guitar combines elegant looks with an unmistakably aggressive attitude. It will appeal both to fans of vintage-inspired hard rock guitars and to musicians looking for a modern, efficient and exceptionally comfortable instrument.

Its design reflects a clear focus on performance. The alder body is paired with a three-piece maple neck running through the body and a Macassar ebony fingerboard, a combination that delivers excellent stability, a precise attack and generous sustain. The particularly slim and fast Extra Thin U neck profile makes navigating the fingerboard effortless, while the 24 Extra Jumbo frets provide plenty of room for the most demanding lead work. The neck-thru construction also offers excellent access to the upper frets, a major advantage for guitarists who make full use of the instrument's entire range.

The electronics are equally impressive, featuring a particularly effective Seymour Duncan pickup combination. The TB-5 Custom Trembucker at the bridge delivers powerful, cutting and well-defined tones, making it ideal for punchy riffs, hard rock rhythms and heavier high-gain sounds. In the neck position, the Hot Rails provides a thicker, more sustaining voice, perfectly suited to expressive solos and singing lead tones. The push-pull control also allows the pickups to be split, expanding the tonal palette with brighter, more articulate sounds. This versatility enables the guitar to move effortlessly from energetic rhythm playing to melodic lead work without losing its distinctive character.

The Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo system is the perfect finishing touch. It allows for everything from subtle vibrato to dramatic dive bombs while maintaining excellent tuning stability when properly set up. The result is a coherent, performance-oriented instrument designed for players who like to push their technique and need a guitar that can handle the most demanding playing styles.

What makes the LTD Horizon CTM '87 particularly appealing, however, is its ability to combine the spirit of the great guitars of the 1980s with outstanding Korean manufacturing quality. The assembly, precision craftsmanship, choice of components and attention to detail make this Deluxe Series model a seriously compelling proposition in its price category. It captures the character and appearance of a classic ESP design while offering specifications that remain perfectly suited to the demands of today's guitarists.

The LTD Horizon CTM '87 Pearl White is therefore aimed at players looking for much more than a retro-inspired guitar: it is a distinctive, fast, powerful and versatile instrument built to an exceptionally high standard. This successful revival of an 1980s bestseller will appeal just as much to nostalgic fans of that era as to modern guitarists seeking outstanding performance and excellent value for money.
