Description

The ESP Will Adler Warbird Distressed is as much a work of art as it is an amazing instrument. Each model is painstakingly treated to resemble a guitar that has really paid its dues with hundreds of tour stops, recording sessions, and more. This distressing treatment isn’t only applied to the guitar’s finish; each hardware component (like the pickup covers, controls, bridge and tailpiece) also has the worn-in look that only ESP’s artists can create. As the guitarist for American metal masters Lamb of God, Will Adler required a guitar that could handle his powerful yet nuanced playing style. The ESP Will Adler Warbird Distressed offers neck-thru-body construction, with a maple-capped mahogany body, a three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets. High-end components include Sperzel locking tuners and Seymour Duncan pickups. Available in highly-distressed Black with Will’s Warbird graphic. Crafted one at a time by the expert luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan.
