Get to know them!





Ben Weinman is one of today’s most acclaimed guitarists, whether he’s churning out hardcore punk-infused jazz-informed metal riffs with The Dillinger Escape Plan or tearing up the stage with crossover thrash pioneers Suicidal Tendencies. His signature ESP LTD BW-1 EverTune is packed with everything that a guitarist of Ben’s caliber demands. This high-performance semi-hollowbody is built from resonant mahogany, with a striking flamed maple top that adds plenty of snap and bite to its aggressive voice. Experience an endless variety of sonic textures, courtesy of Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups. Enjoy effortless playability, thanks to a 3-piece, ebony-capped maple neck. You’ll also benefit from amazing tuning stability and intonation, by virtue of an EverTune bridge. The BW-1 EverTune includes an eye-grabbling finish and attractive chrome hardware.





EverTune bridge ensures spot-on intonation





The EverTune bridge on the ESP LTD BW-1 EverTune is a mechanical system that helps you stay in tune under any playing situation. Long-lasting tuning stability and accurate intonation are supplied by small springs that keep consistent tension on your strings. And the tension is adjustable, offering static tuning under any playing conditions or standard performance for string bending and vibrato. Even if you're playing a long gig or recording session, your tuning will be more stable regardless of your playing style, temperature, or other variables.





Fishman Fluence Modern pickups give you endless tonal options





Thanks to the BW-1 EverTune's Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, you'll be able to harness the most sought-after humbucker tones. These pickups provide you with your choice of two unique, selectable voices. Revel in the tight bass, crisp highs, and subtle growl supplied by the Fluence's modern active pickup voice. Or if you're feeling a bit gnarly, these pickups' high-output humbucker voice is tailor-made for distortion. The guitarists at Sweetwater are shocked by the range of sounds that can be coaxed out of the BW-1 EverTune.
