ESP LTD AA-1 Alan Ashby Signature - Black Satin w/ Gold Hardware (2021)
Includes ESP Form-Fit Hardshell Case

Designed in collaboration with Of Mice & Men guitarist Alan Ashby, the ESP LTD AA-1 is built to handle the demands of aggressive, high-energy performances and constant touring. Updated for 2021, this signature model features a striking Black Satin finish with gold hardware, delivering both bold aesthetics and professional-grade performance.

The AA-1 sports a classic single-cutaway mahogany body with neck-thru-body construction for exceptional sustain and resonance. Its 3-piece mahogany neck features a fast Thin U contour, topped with a Macassar ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets—perfect for modern, technical playing styles.

A single EMG 81 active pickup with a brushed gold cover provides the crushing tone needed for heavy riffs and searing leads, while the TonePros locking TOM bridge with string-thru body enhances stability and sustain even further.

Whether you're on stage or in the studio, the LTD AA-1 is a no-nonsense, pro-level metal machine built for serious players.

This item is a "B-Stock Guitar" directly purchased from the manufacturer ESP/LTD. It is NEW Stock that has never been owned. Pictures are of the actual guitar you will receive.

A "B-Stock Guitar" is a guitar that won't have structural or playability issues but could possibly have some particular minor cosmetic flaw which can keep it from passing the rigorous inspection process put in place by the guitar manufacturer. These guitars do not come with manufacture warranty.

on this guitar I personally did not see the blemish. However, just because I did not notice it does not mean there is not a small cosmetic flaw somewhere on the guitar. This was sold to us as a B-Stock for a reason where ever that reason is it is small in nature. (see pictures)
