ESP Introduces AP Basses to LTD Line

ESP Guitars added the AP-4 and AP-5 basses to their LTD Series at this year’s Winter NAMM Show. The four and five-string models are traditionally-based designs with ESP’s own twist.

Both models are built with an alder body, bolt-on maple neck, and an ebony fretboard. They are fitted with a set of EMG pickups in a P/J configuration with volume, balance, and tone controls. Hardware includes Grover tuners and a Babicz FCH bridge.
The ESP LTD AP-4 and AP-5 basses are shipping soon with prices at $799 and $849, respectively.
