A true one-of-a-kind ESP Custom Shop creation, hand-built by the best craftmakers of Japan !

Just arrived: an extraordinary ESP Custom Order GL-QM Double Neck, built on ESP's Dinky-style platform and configured as a 12-string/6-string doubleneck. This is a genuine ESP Custom Order commission (Order #202496/202497, Serial# TH1322111), hand-crafted from premium, long-seasoned tonewoods and finished in a stunning natural quilted maple burst.

All-Maple, Museum-Grade Build 🔥

  • Body: 3-piece Quilted Maple top over a 2-piece Hard Maple back (47mm total thickness)
  • Necks: Hard Maple with laminated Birdseye Maple fingerboards on both necks — a luxurious "all-maple" specification
  • Neck shape: Original V-shape, set-neck construction with a heelless cut for smooth upper-fret access
  • Scale: 648mm, 400R radius, dot inlays, #214H frets, 22 frets per neck
  • Weight: 6.84 kg — a substantial, resonant instrument with punchy attack response and rich, long sustain

12-String Neck (Top):

  • SSS pickup configuration loaded with three Seymour Duncan SSL-4 single-coils for classic single-coil sparkle with added output
  • GOTOH GTC12 bridge
  • GOTOH SG360-07 locking tuners for fast, hassle-free string changes
  • Nut width 42mm, Duracon nut

6-String Neck (Bottom):

  • HH configuration: Seymour Duncan SH-1n in the neck, Seymour Duncan TB-5 in the bridge
  • Center pickup selector position engages coil-tap mix for extended tonal versatility
  • Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo, recessed/routed for aggressive dive-bombs and pull-ups
  • Scalloped fingerboard from the 12th fret up for an ultra-light playing touch
  • Locking nut, 42mm width, R2 radius

Controls: Volume, Tone, mini toggle pickup selector (6-string side), 5-way lever pickup selector (12-string side), master ON/OFF switch, and a neck selector switch to instantly flip between the two necks.

Condition: Excellent. Some light dulling/tarnish is visible on the black nickel hardware, but the instrument shows virtually no dings, dents, or scratches. Frets show minimal wear.
