The ESP Bill Kelliher Guitar is powered by a pair of Bill's signature Lace Sensor 'Dissonant Aggressors' pickups. The pickups are designed with the help of Kelliher, with the aim to create a humbucker set that is packed with a superb sustain and fierce tones, ideal for heavy styles. Both pickups offer optimum versatility, along with excellent dynamic response and clarity. For increased tonal options, each pickup can be easily split to single coil by pushing the volume and tone.
The ESP Signature Bill Kelliher features the iconic ESP Eclipse body along with a comfortable single cutaway, providing easy access to the higher frets. The guitar has a military appearance with a Green Sunburst Satin finish, for a smooth and attractive look. The ESP Bill Kelliher Eclipse features binding around the body, neck and headstock, which breaks up the block colour and provides a clean finish. The body is crafted from mahogany, delivering a sound with warmth and resonance, as well as good bite and sustain. The mahogany features a maple cap for added brightness, clarity and overall a fuller sound.
The set-thru neck construction provides enhanced sustain, as well as increased strength and sturdiness. The mahogany neck yields rich tones with good sonic warmth, and is paired with an ebony fingerboard, bringing clarity and definition to the warmth of the mahogany neck, as well as plenty of snappy attack.
