Few guitar players of the world merit as much respect as Alex Skolnick. Originally gaining fame as the teenage phenomenon holding down guitar duties for Bay Area thrashers Testament, Alex has gone on to tackle multiple musical genres, including sophisticated jazz playing in his Alex Skolnick Trio. The AS-1FR, updated with a rich Lime Burst finish over its flamed maple top, takes Alex's original design and adds a Floyd Rose bridge for expressive performances. This traditional shape, with set-thru construction at 24.75” scale, belies its contemporary set of tools that include black hardware, a Macassar ebony fingerboard, a Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo, Dunlop Straploks, and a set of Seymour Duncan Alex Skolnick Signature Humbucker pickups, splittable with push-pull control. Includes ESP hardshell form fit case.
