Sammy Duet has risen to the top of the modern metal mountain as an innovative guitarist who serves up fast, furious, and melodically tasteful riffs and rhythms. The ESP LTD Sammy Duet SD-2 is a true signature electric guitar with Duet’s meticulous input in terms of its design and sonic delivery. Featuring an all-mahogany body cut to Duet’s Random Star offset shape, this blistering axe is an absolute metal monster that captivates your audience from the stage, while you enjoy its unique balance and response in your hands and at your waist. The 3-piece mahogany neck with Macassar ebony fingerboard offers that signature sustain and response that neck-through-body designs are famous for. And a single Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal bridge pickup thunders with thick, midrange-heavy tone that stays noise-free even when driven to the brink. Finally, a Floyd Rose 1000 SE bridge provides stellar sustain and tuning support even when you dish out bone-crushing power chords and soaring leads.

Single humbucker designed to destroy





The Seymour Duncan Blackouts Metal humbucker in the SD-2 was handpicked by Sammy Duet because of its insane output level and headroom that stays sonically consistent from 1 to 11. This workhorse pickup delivers thick, crunchy tone that can be saturated with distortion and still maintain killer string sensitivity. It’s wired for high output and comes with an easy adjustment option, letting you drop it down to a more moderate output level. Modern metal players here at Sweetwater are still picking their jaws up off the floor after putting this one-of-a-kind face melter through its paces.

Neck-through-body construction offers unique response





Modern metal players have gravitated toward neck-through-body designs for years for their “feels-as-one” response and long sustain. The 3-piece mahogany neck on the SD-2 delivers this unique feel in spades, and lightning-fast runs up and down the Macassar ebony fingerboard are a breeze, thanks to its extra thin “U” neck profile. In addition, 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets make power chords and leads easy on the fingers, and glow-in-the-dark side markers keep you oriented when on dark stages. Even in the light, the SD-2 has a nearly all-black presentation apart from the diamond-shaped white pearloid inlays along the fingerboard and the ESP LTD classic logo on the headstock.
