ESP LTD BK-600 Bill Kelliher, Military Green Sunburst Satin Overview
The ESP LTD BK-600 is one of the LTD Signature Series guitars for Bill Kelliher, guitarist for award-winning American metal band Mastodon. Designed by Bill to provide the wide range of tones needed for Mastodon’s music while being sturdy and reliable enough for his most punishing rhythms and brutal riffs throughout long tours, the BK-600 is based on the single-cutaway ESP Eclipse guitar style, along with a traditional full body thickness and no waist cut. Its three-piece mahogany neck is joined to the body with set-thru construction at 24.75" scale for smooth and comfortable fast access to the upper frets.
The BK-600 offers an ebony fingerboard with pearloid "ESP Flag" inlays and 22 frets, as well as binding on the body, neck, and headstock. Its sound is generated with a set of customised Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups, the original high output humbucker with a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings to deliver full-bodied rock and metal tones that are controlled with master volume and tone knobs that each offer a push-pull control to split the bridge and neck pickups respectively.
Other professional features on the LTD BK-600 include locking tuners and a TonePros locking bridge and tailpiece. It's available in a distinctively cool Military Green Sunburst Satin finish.
