A visually stunning electric guitar equipped for virtuoso lead playing.
The ESP FRX CTM FR is a masterfully crafted electric guitar designed for musicians seeking a premium instrument. With its arched quilted maple top, jasper wood back and purpleheart neck, this guitar produces a resonant tone with gorgeous aesthetics. Designed in collaboration with esteemed luthiers, the FRX CTM FR offers high-end components and construction for a custom shop experience.
Resonant Tonewood Combination
The FRX CTM FR's quilted maple top provides a bright, crisp tone while the jasper wood back adds warmth and depth. Together, these tonewoods generate a balanced sound with rich harmonics. The purpleheart neck also contributes to the guitar's resonance. These premium tonewoods were carefully selected to give you a dynamic range of tones.
High-Performance Pickups
Seymour Duncan pickups provide a spectrum of tones to shape your sound. The 59/Jazz Hybrid neck pickup delivers a warm, articulate tone for complex chords and melodies. The 59/JB Hybrid bridge pickup produces a tight low end with rich harmonics for expressive lead lines and heavy distortion. A coil tap switch provides single-coil tones when needed.
Floyd Rose Bridge for Stability
The Floyd Rose bridge on this guitar provides tuning stability for aggressive playing styles. Its double-locking design keeps the strings securely in place during heavy use. You'll appreciate the Floyd Rose when executing extreme bends, tremolo dives and flutter effects. The sustain from the rosewood fingerboard and neck-thru-body construction further enhances the Floyd Rose's performance.
Premium Appointments for Playability
The FRX CTM FR includes high-performance appointments for a professional playing experience. Its slim U-shaped neck profile and 24 jumbo frets make lead playing fast and comfortable. Gotoh tuners provide precise, slip-proof tuning. And the recessed strap locks ensure your guitar stays secure on stage. The luxurious aesthetics, with abalone block inlays and chrome hardware, inspire your creativity.
