Check Out This Snake Skin Artwork!

Do you want all eyes on you? Then strap on this ESP USA Limited-edition Pyrographic TE-II — its eye-popping snake skin design was burned into the top and the headstock by acclaimed artist Dino Muradian. That said, once you get past this guitar’s one-of-a-kind looks, you’ll find that it sounds just as stellar. Plug it into your favorite amplifier and you’ll enjoy late-'70s-style arena-rock tones with a hint of modern clarity, courtesy of dual Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special humbuckers. What’s more, its ebony-capped maple neck plays like a dream, thanks to the Thin-"U" neck profile and ultra-smooth satin finish. With only 10 available worldwide, you'll want to act fast to make the ESP USA Limited-edition Pyrographic TE-II part of your collection.

Handcrafted "snake skin" design

ESP joined forces with renowned artist Dino Muradian to give the USA Limited-edition Pyrographic TE-II its unique snake skin design. While from a distance it looks like the guitar is wrapped in boa constrictor skin, the design was actually burned in by hand, giving the top and headstock a look you won't find anywhere else. This incredibly intricate process is the reason only 10 of these guitars will be available worldwide — don't delay if you want to add this work of art to your guitar collection!

Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special humbuckers

The ESP USA Limited-edition Pyrographic TE-II is loaded with a first-rate duo of Seymour Duncan pickups. The matched set of Saturday Night Specials bridges the gap between the low-output tones of traditional PAFs and the more aggressive voice of modern designs. The bridge pickup is voiced with a fat personality for pulling a touch more gain from your amp, while the neck humbucking pickup is a bit cleaner and less "wooly" than some other designs. These pickups are making waves around Sweetwater due to their sheer versatility.

ESP USA series employs the finest materials from around the world

ESP started as a manufacturer of after-market guitar parts in Japan in the late 1970s. By the mid-'80s, ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye towards playability and craftsmanship has made ESP Guitars one of the most visible and prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. In 2014, ESP opened their first US-based production factory. It's there that they craft their acclaimed ESP USA series guitars by hand, using the finest materials from around the world. George Lynch, Ron Wood, Gus G., Kirk Hammett, and Alex Skolnick (and a bunch of us here at Sweetwater) rely on ESP guitars both onstage and in the studio.

  • Stunning snake skin design is burned into the top and headstock, by artist Dino Muradian
  • Extremely limited quantities — only 10 will be available worldwide
  • 2 Seymour Duncan Saturday Night Special humbuckers capture ’70s arena rock tones
