ESP Guitars Tom Araya FRX Signature Bass MIJ Custom Shop Black Satin Demo

DESCRIPTION

Tom Araya is the bassist and frontman of the iconic thrash metal band Slayer. His ESP Tom Araya FRX bass is crafted by hand at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan. Each bass is meticulously created for the very best in aesthetic and performance details. It offers neck-thru-body construction at 35" scale for thunderous bass tones, with a comfortable alder body and a fast thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck. Tom's bass includes an ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo frets and custom Slayer pentagram inlays. Components on the ESP Tom Araya FRX include Gotoh tuners and bridge, and EMG 35DC active pickups. The bass includes a form-fit hard shell case and a Certificate of Authenticity from ESP.

SETUP & INSPECTED BY OUR TECH TEAM

All of our guitars come with a FREE professional setup to a comfortable action as specified by that instrument’s manufacturer. Our setups always include inspection of (and necessary adjustment to): action, intonation, tremolo angle, truss rod, frets, nut, bridge, and more. We can accommodate special setup requests - additional charges and/or shipping delays of 1-2 business days could occur.

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED

After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
