ESP LTD BK-600 Bill Kelliher, Vintage Silver Sunburst Overview
The ESP LTD BK-600 Bill Kelliher Signature model in Vintage Silver Sunburst is a meticulously crafted instrument that embodies the Mastodon guitarist’s distinctive style and tonal demands. This guitar features a full-thickness mahogany body, providing a robust tonal foundation with exceptional sustain. The set-thru construction seamlessly integrates a three-piece mahogany neck, ensuring stability and smooth access across the 22 extra-jumbo frets on the Macassar ebony fingerboard. Adorned with pearloid “ESP Flag” inlays, the fingerboard offers both visual appeal and a comfortable playing experience.
The BK-600 is equipped with MojoTone Hell Bender humbucker pickups, delivering a versatile tonal palette that ranges from aggressive distortion to articulate cleans. These pickups are complemented by push-pull controls on both the volume and tone knobs, enabling coil-splitting capabilities for added sonic flexibility. A three-way toggle switch allows for easy navigation between pickup configurations, catering to a wide array of musical styles.
Designed with professional-grade hardware, the guitar features a TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece, ensuring precise intonation and enhanced sustain. LTD locking tuners provide reliable tuning stability, even during intense performances. The instrument’s aesthetic is further elevated by its Vintage Silver Sunburst finish, complemented by multi-ply binding on the body and headstock, and black hardware that adds a sleek, modern touch.
