ESP started back in 1975 as a replacement parts shop called Electric Sound Products (ESP) in Tokyo. It provided custom replacement parts for guitars and quickly gained a reputation as a provider of high-quality replacement parts. ESP also began crafting guitars under the ESP and Navigator brand in the Japanese market and in New York they began crafting custom instruments for artists. Among these were Vernon Reid of Living Colour, Bruce Kulick of KISS and Ron Wood of The Rolling Stones. George Lynch also discovered ESP and as a result, his famous ESP Kamikaze was made. More players with signature models include Kirk Hammet and James Hetfield of Metallica, Stephen Carpenter of Deftones, Max Cavalera of Sepultura and Richard Z of Rammstein.

In 1996, LTD was created to produce ESP's high-quality products in a more affordable line of production. LTD has grown in popularity and has become a noteworthy brand among many artists throughout the years. ESP/LTD simply equals quality workmanship and affordable prices.

ESP/LTD comes with great hardware and either their own, EMG’s or Seymour Duncan pick-ups. Just choose your axe – there is something for any flavour. Some of the best money can buy!
