ESP know every detail on an instrument can affect tone and the ability to sustain notes. To this end, the JR-7 utilises a 5-piece neck-through-body construction with string-thru-body design. Built from layers of walnut, maple and paduak, the neck is extremely durable and resistant to warping. Set through the body, it ensures all the rich detail of your created tones transfer to the swamp ash frame and humbucking pickups.
