This LTD BW-1 Evertune is in excellent condition.
The BW-1 from LTD is a signature model electric made for Ben Weinman, of the legendary metalcore act Dillinger Escape Plan. It is a contoured, single cutaway semi hollow with a 25.5″ scale. The BW-1 features a mahogany body with flame maple top, thin-U maple neck, and chrome EMG 81/85 pickups. This guitar also comes factory loaded with an Evertune bridge system, which is designed for precision intonation that won’t get thrown off during an aggressive live performance.
Obviously this guitar is designed with extreme metal playing in mind, and the BW-1’s ergonomic design makes the most brutal of riffage not so brutal on the hands and back. However, this guitar can hold its own through a wide array of playing styles. EMGs have a tendency to be perceived on the sterile side in a clean or low-gain rig, but in this semi-hollow, a level of compression and heightened organic response is translated through these hot, active pickups. Further lending towards crisp articulation – especially when tapping – are ESP XJ frets on a 14″ radius.
For the player who wants a guitar ready for metal without being one sided, check out this LTD Ben Weinman signature model.
