Edwards Ultratone Baritone, lime gold, made in Japan 2013. If you think this is not cool, please go and get the professional help you need... it's time. It's extremely cool. The ingredients for the design appear to be a goofy mix of a Gibson SG, Fender offset, 80s shred and a neck as long as a giraffe. The Ultratone shape is an ESP original, designed to offer extended range with maximum comfort. It works a treat: it's lightweight, well balanced and easy to get your hands around, and the neck is very comfy and easy to get around on. At 27", this will handle some pretty low tunings, so we've strung it up with 12-60s and tuned it to drop A. The pickups are moderate output passive humbuckers, so it cleans up beautifully with a gorgeous warm crooning voice. Paired with a dirty amp, that clarity and warmth translate convincingly: it's balanced across the strings, thick and punchy down low and wide and full through the midrange. It'll cover all that metalcore chugg territory, but also can be a lot of fun for more delicate stuff like blues, jazz or solo singer/songwriter type things. Oh, and that colour! *chef's kiss*
