ESP LTD Josh Middleton JM-II Electric Guitar - Black Shadow Burst

Josh Middleton's High-performance Metalcore Machine
Whether he's fronting old-school thrash disciples Sylosis or churning out syncopated metalcore riffs with Architects, UK-based Josh Middleton is one of today's top boundary-pushing guitarists. The ESP LTD Josh Middleton JM-II is as impressive as its namesake. Its maple-capped alder body, while providing an attention-grabbing look, delivers a balanced sound with lots of bite. And that's before you even plug it in! When you do tread that withered road, this solidbody electric guitar's Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups give you an endless variety of heavy-hitting sonic textures. The LTD Josh Middleton JM-II includes an easy-playing 3-piece roasted maple neck, a silky-smooth Macassar ebony fingerboard, and a recessed Gotoh Tune-o-matic bridge that makes lightning-fast palm-muted phrases a piece of cake.
