ESP LTD Horizon 87
The ESP LTD Horizon 87 is a high-performance guitar built for players who want aggressive tone, fast playability, and rock-solid stability. Its neck-through-body construction features a 3-piece Maple neck paired with Alder body wings, creating excellent sustain, resonance, and balance.
The guitar is equipped with a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups that deliver powerful, high-output tones. A Hot Rail pickup in the neck position produces thick, sustaining tones with hum-free performance; while the Seymour Duncan Custom humbucker in the bridge position offers tight, aggressive tone. Push-pull coil-splitting adds even more versatility by allowing brighter, single-coil-style tones when needed.
Playability is a major highlight of the Horizon 87. Its extra-thin “U”-shaped Maple neck and smooth Ebony fingerboard are built for speed and precision, making technical playing feel effortless. The Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system adds expressive pitch control while maintaining excellent tuning stability, even during extreme dive bombs and aggressive tremolo use.
The ESP LTD Horizon 87 is available here for $899, down from its usual $1,499.
Schecter Keith Merrow KM-7 Artist
The Schecter Keith Merrow KM-7 Artist is a high-performance 7-string designed in collaboration with (you guessed it) Keith Merrow. Its foundation is a neck-through construction using a 9-piece laminate of Wenge, Maple, and Purpleheart, reinforced with carbon fiber rods for maximum stability and resistance to warping.
The ultra-thin “C” neck profile and compound radius ebony fingerboard make it fast and comfortable across all 24 frets, ideal for technical playing and extended-range riffs.
Tone comes from a pair of Lundgren M7 humbuckers, known for their aggressive output and exceptional note clarity even under high gain. These pickups are designed with ceramic magnets and specialized winding to deliver tight low-end response and strong harmonic detail.
Hardware and construction further emphasize reliability and precision. A Hipshot hardtail bridge ensures solid tuning stability and accurate intonation, supported by a compensated nut for improved pitch consistency across the fretboard. Hipshot locking tuners make string changes quick and stable, while the Ash body wings and Poplar burl top provide both balanced resonance and a striking aesthetic.
The Schecter Keith Merrow KM-7 Artist is available here for $1,979, down from its usual $2,199.
PRS SE Custom 24
The PRS SE Custom 24 brings the iconic PRS design into a more accessible package while maintaining the core elements that define PRS. Built with a Mahogany body and Maple top, it delivers a balanced tonal foundation with warmth, clarity, and a touch of brightness.
Equipped with PRS-designed 85/15 “S” humbuckers, the SE Custom 24 offers both powerful humbucking tones and usable single-coil sounds via coil-splitting. The pickups are voiced for clarity and articulation while still providing enough output to drive amps into rich saturation.
Playability is a key strength of the SE Custom 24. Its Maple neck with a Wide Thin profile is designed for speed and comfort, while the rosewood fretboard and signature bird inlays give it a classic PRS look.
The PRS SE Custom 24 is available here for $599, down from its usual $849.
ESP LTD Phoenix-1004
The ESP LTD Phoenix-1004 offers up a Mahogany body for a thick, resonant tonal foundation, while the satin finish and offset Phoenix body shape give it a pretty sleek (and Firebird-like) appearance.
At the center of its sound are a pair of active Fishman Fluence SB-1 humbuckers. Push-pull controls allow each pickup to switch into single-coil mode for expanded tonal flexibility, while onboard volume, balance, and tone controls really help you fine-tune your sound.
The bass also excels in feel and stability thanks to its Thin “U”-shaped neck and smooth 21-fret fingerboard with extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets. Its 34-inch scale length provides a familiar and balanced playing experience, while the Gotoh 201B-4 bridge and LTD Vintage tuners ensure dependable intonation and tuning stability.

Dingwall John Taylor Signature
The Dingwall John Taylor Signature 4-string bass is a modern, high-performance instrument that also happens to look cool as hell.
Developed to the specifications of Duran Duran bassist John Taylor, the bass offers a contoured Nyatoh body, fast 5-piece Maple neck, and Pau Ferro fingerboard with Dingwall’s signature fanned-fret system. The multi-scale fanned-fret design gives each string its own optimized scale length, improving tension consistency and low-end clarity.
In addition to tonal benefits, the angled fret layout naturally follows the shape of the hand, making extended playing sessions feel more ergonomic and reducing strain during complex passages.
The John Taylor Signature bass is also equipped with a highly advanced electronics package built around three FD3n neodymium pickups and a custom 2-band preamp developed by Rupert Neve Designs. Controls include a Quad-Tone rotary pickup selector, active/passive switching, EQ controls, and a passive tone circuit, giving players access to everything from punchy modern tones to classic vintage growl.
The Dingwall John Taylor Signature bass is available here for $2,185, down from its usual $3,645.
