ESP LTD Andy LaRocque ALR-II Electric Guitar - See-Thru Purple
ESP LTD Andy LaRocque ALR-II Electric Guitar - See-Thru Purple
Following an impressive stint of session work in his native Gothenburg, Sweden, Andy LaRocque joined a then-nascent King Diamond for their debut record, Fatal Portrait, leading to a decades-long tenure with the legendary metal outfit. Andy and ESP joined forces to craft a signature axe capable of wielding the theory-laden, neoclassical-inspired frenzy of fretwork that’s made him a staple among shredders worldwide: the LTD Andy LaRocque ALR-II. Its gorgeously figured quilt maple top and eye-grabbing finish conceal a wealth of mahogany-, maple-, and ebony-fueled sonic contouring, harkening to the Gothic and esoteric themes that abound throughout King Diamond’s catalog. For Music Bliss tone titans, the hard-rocking hardware, double-locking tremolo, and compound-radius fretboard masterfully balance the classic and the contemporary, but the pure-’80s delight that has them raring to let this axe cleave through the mainstage is its HS configuration, with a slanted neck-mounted pickup. Toss in the 3-way toggle, and the ESP LTD Andy LaRocque ALR-II is teeming with tone-crafting possibilities just waiting to be unlocked.
FEATURES
- Signature guitar for King Diamond’s Andy LaRocque

- 3-piece neck amplifies sonic depth and dimensional stability, bolstering resilience to the elements and minimizing environmental wear-and-tear on the road
- Macassar ebony fingerboard serves up near-endless sustain and bell-like clarity, remaining powerful, punchy, and full of presence in every register
- Compound-radius fretboard, Thin U neck profile, ultra-fluid heel carve, and treble-side bevel collectively accommodate virtually any play style with full access to all 24 frets
- Seymour Duncan pickups with HS layout and 3-way toggle guarantee ferocious and flexible tone crafting
- Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo supports evocative expression, from subtle to soaring and mild to wild
