ESP LTD Royal Shiva Bill Kelliher Signature Silver Sunburst
DESCRIPTION
Joining the Bill Kelliher Signature Series, the LTD Royal Shiva is based on a guitar that the Mastodon guitar king had created by the ESP Custom Shop and used it extensively on recent tours. It’s a completely unique double-cutaway body shape with an outstanding Silver Sunburst finish that extends to the back of the guitars body and neck, with white binding on the body, neck, and headstock. The Royal Shiva uses traditional set neck construction at 25” scale, joining a maple-capped mahogany body with a three-piece u-shaped mahogany neck, per Bill’s personal specifications. Its Macassar ebony fingerboard has large mother-of-pearl block inlays and 22 extra-jumbo frets. Pro-tier nickel-finished hardware on the Royal Shiva includes a TonePros TOM bridge and tailpiece, LTD locking tuners, a bone nut, a multi-ply black pickguard, and a set of Bill’s signature Mojotone Hellbender humbucker pickups. Designed for both brutality and beauty, these nickel-covered pickups offer everything from raw and menacing tones to complex, articulate, and open cleans. Both the bridge and neck pickups may be split individually with push-pull controls on the volume and tone knobs. Includes deluxe ESP hardshell case.
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.
