The BW-1 is a semi-hollow, single-cut design with a carved flamed maple top, paired with a set-thru construction that gives you extended upper fret access and serious sustain. It’s lighter and more resonant than a full solid body, but still tight and focused.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe See Thru Black finish is killer. In lower light it’s dark and stealthy. Under direct light the flame figuring comes alive — deep ripples moving across the top. The cream binding frames everything perfectly, especially with the cream pickguard swap that ties into the binding beautifully. The back is transparent black, showing off the wood grain instead of hiding it — a subtle but high-end touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCondition is excellent overall, with light signs of use and wear. Nothing major — just honest playwear. It presents extremely well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow the real magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvertune Bridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a gimmick. It’s a mechanical tension-based system that keeps the guitar perfectly in tune — regardless of temperature changes, aggressive picking, or tuning instability. Studio players love it. Touring musicians depend on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePick as hard as you want without going sharp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStay locked in through full sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrack rhythm parts without constant retuning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor someone playing complex, tight, percussive material — this is huge. It’s part of what makes this model unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectronics-wise, this model typically comes loaded with EMG active pickups (EMG 57\/66 set in most BW-1 ET configurations) — giving you:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTight low end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, cutting mids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlled high gain response\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurprisingly articulate cleans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey pair extremely well with the semi-hollow construction. You get precision without it sounding sterile. There’s still some air and resonance behind the notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe neck profile is fast and modern — built for technical players. Upper fret access is effortless thanks to the sculpted heel and set-thru design. It feels purpose-built for precision riffing, odd-meter rhythms, and articulate lead work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImportant notes:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCream pickguard installed (original not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruss rod cover not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight cosmetic wear present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with a gig bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis isn’t just a cool-looking LTD. It’s a thoughtfully engineered signature model built around stability, precision, and modern performance. Between the semi-hollow body, flamed maple top, EMG actives, and Evertune bridge, there’s a lot going on here that you simply don’t find on standard production guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s aggressive. It’s refined. And it’s built to stay locked in.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike all my guitars, this one’s been cared for and dialed in—no guesswork, no surprises, just a great instrument that’s ready to play. I personally inspect and test every guitar before it ships, making sure it’s in the exact condition I’d want to receive myself. These guitars come from me, not a shop—each one gets the kind of attention and care only a real guitar lover gives. Ships fast and insured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e⏳ Quick note\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese guitars don’t usually sit. Most are purchased within 3–7 days, and I regularly hear from watchers after the listing has already sold. If this one’s on your radar, now’s the window!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ESP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46239025463467,"sku":"ESP-BW1-022426","price":1225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/8344\/1579\/files\/9970e807-1fb5-4115-b137-3b581be58521.jpg?v=1771990154","url":"https:\/\/aeonicfrets.com\/products\/esp-ltd-bw-1-et-ben-weinman-signature-2014-present-see-thru-black","provider":"Aeonic Frets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
