What We Think

The LTD SD-2 is a sleek, no-nonsense performance guitar built for speed, precision, and uncompromising modern tone. Its neck-thru mahogany construction provides exceptional sustain and effortless access across all 24 stainless steel frets, while the extra-thin U neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard offer a fast, comfortable playing experience. Equipped with a Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal pickup, the SD-2 delivers crushing output, tight low end, and razor-sharp articulation for even the most demanding high-gain styles. Finished in classic Black with a Floyd Rose 1000SE tremolo, this lightweight LTD is an inspiring instrument built to excel on stage, in the studio, and beyond.

Manufacturer's Description from ESP Guitars

Founder of legendary New Orleans-based extreme metal band Goatwhore, Sammy Duet is renowned for creating speedy, tight rhythms and insanely brutal riffs. His signature guitar, the LTD SD-2, is based on Sammy’s own ESP Custom Shop model, made famous by its identifiable Random Star shape. The SD-2 offers sturdy neck-thru-body construction at 24.75” scale for fast, easy access to the highest frets. This mahogany body, 3-piece mahogany neck guitar has a bound Macassar ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, diamond-shaped mother-of-pearl inlays, and glow-in-the-dark side markers. Components on the LTD SD-2 include a Floyd Rose 1000 SE double-locking tremolo with stainless steel screws. Its sound is driven by a single Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal AHB-2 active pickup, designed to provide the articulate response necessary for modern metal, but specially configured for a more moderate output level that delivers the rich, full-bodied tone you've come to expect from Sammy. Includes ESP hardshell case.
