Unveiled as part of ESP’s prestigious Exhibition Limited line for 2025 and showcased at the NAMM Show, the ESP Exhibition Limited 2025 FRX CTM FR - Driftwood Brown is a masterclass in luthiery and visual artistry. A true one-of-one creation, this guitar blends exotic tonewoods, custom hardware, and striking visual elements with high-performance specifications built for the modern guitarist.

At its core, the FRX CTM FR features set-thru construction for enhanced sustain and upper fret access, paired with a 25.5” scale length—a favorite among players seeking tight response and clarity. The body boasts a red wood top adorned in a custom Driftwood Brown finish, highlighted by a dramatic Gold & Red Ranshi paint design, exclusive to this model. A walnut back provides tonal depth and warmth, making the instrument as sonically rich as it is visually compelling.

The neck is a work of precision and comfort, carved from hard maple into a sleek Slim U profile, offering a fast yet substantial feel. The ziricote fingerboard is framed in Rex wood and flamed maple binding, elevating both tactile experience and visual allure. Its custom offset dot inlays—crafted from Rex wood, flamed maple, and brass—further reinforce the guitar’s uniqueness, while 24 stainless steel frets ensure long-lasting playability and a glassy feel under the fingers.

Powering this showpiece are Seymour Duncan's Sentient-6 neck pickup and Pegasus-TB bridge pickup, both housed in custom brass bobbins. This pairing delivers a broad sonic range—from articulate cleans and rich mids to aggressive, harmonically complex leads. These pickups are routed through high-end electronics and anchored by an Original Floyd Rose bridge equipped with a Fat Brass block, providing excellent sustain, tuning stability, and tone-enhancing mass.

Rounding out the high-spec feature set are Gotoh tuners, a R2 locking nut, and antique gold hardware throughout, matching the guitar’s aged, luxurious aesthetic. It ships in a deluxe hard case, ensuring it remains as pristine and protected as it is rare.

The ESP Exhibition Limited 2025 FRX CTM FR is not just a guitar—it’s a singular piece of musical artistry, representing ESP’s finest craftsmanship and forward-thinking design. A true collector’s piece and a professional-grade instrument all in one.
