For This Custom Shop ESP Exhibition Guitar Like No Other, Head to CME!

In addition to the impeccable instruments that the ESP Custom Shop in Tokyo crafts for individual customer orders all year round, once a year, ESP’s master luthiers take their extraordinary skill and craftsmanship to the task of building a guitar of their own dreams.

Representing the top tier of each artisan’s artistry, the ESP Exhibition Series brings together a showcase of ESP instruments, each of which is a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Exclusively available at Chicago Music Exchange, the ESP EX23-19 FRX CTM sports a set-neck construction, which joins a beautiful birdseye maple neck and ebony fingerboard to a Honduran mahogany body, topped with flamed maple and finished in a transfixing Red with Blue Honeycomb design that’s all its luthier’s own.

Outfitted with a Floyd Rose Original bridge (w/ 37mm Fat Block), Gotoh locking tuners, and Aluminum Red control knobs, this utterly unique instrument comes equipped with a pair of Bare Knuckle Cold Sweat pickups and metal honeycomb pickup covers to match the finish for a striking effect that’s sure to cause a buzz in any room this guitar is in—whether it’s being played, or hanging on display, as part of any art collection.

To find out how you can acquire this one-in-a-lifetime work of luthiery from the ESP Exhibition Limited Series 2023, call Chicago Music Exchange, chat us online (or in the CME Mobile App), or come into our showroom today!

CME Sessions | Baroness

We’re used to seeing live touring acts stop into CME—but, it’s not often that we get our own private concert! No matter what descriptors one might use to describe Baroness’s music, the way they use classic guitar models equipped with single-coil pickups to paint lush sonic landscapes is a reminder to musical artists of any genre that, often, the best surface upon which to paint—whether recording or in live performances—is a colorless canvas. Check out what we mean, here, in the Baroness CME Session!
