ESP LTD Signature Bill Kelliher Royal Shiva Electric Guitar - Silver Sunburst (ROYALSHIVASSB)
ESP are thrilled to present a stunning signature axe: the LTD Signature Royal Shiva. Designed to the specifications of Mastodon guitarist Bill Kelliher, the Royal Shiva’s maple-capped mahogany body and captivating finish take their cues from iconic late-’70s silver-burst single-cut guitars. But the Royal Shiva carves out a kingdom of its own with a more comfortable double-cut body shape that’s infinitely more maneuverable onstage. You’ll love how your fingers fall into place on the Royal Shiva’s 22-fret ebony fingerboard and how a set neck joint puts those higher frets within reach. Moreover, the Royal Shiva’s crown jewels are two signature Hellbender humbuckers designed by Mojotone and Bill Kelliher. Each Hellbender pickup is individually voiced using alnico magnets blended with ceramic, a potent potion that supercharges old-school humbuckers with extra oomph and clearer attack. Peasants and lords all agree: only the ESP LTD Signature Royal Shiva gives Bill Kelliher’s tonal prowess a faire treatment.
