Description

Bill Kelliher is a modern metal master, known for holding down the rhythm in Mastodon. The BK-600 is one of his LTD Signature Series guitars, designed by Bill to provide the wide range of tones needed for Mastodon's music while being sturdy and reliable enough for his most punishing rhythms and brutal riffs throughout long tours!

The BK-600 is based on the single-cutaway ESP Eclipse guitar style, with a traditional full body thickness and no waist cut. Its three-piece Mahogany neck is joined to the body with a set-thru construction for smooth and comfortable fast access to the upper frets. The BK-600 offers an Ebony fingerboard with pearloid "ESP Flag" inlays and 22 frets, as well as binding on the body, neck, and headstock

Its sound is generated with a set of customized Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups — the original high-output humbucker with a massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings to deliver full-bodied rock and metal tones. These are controlled with master volume and tone knobs that each offer a push/pull function to split the bridge and neck pickups respectively. Other professional features on the LTD BK-600 include locking tuners and a TonePros locking bridge/tailpiece.

Key Features

  • 3-Piece Mahogany Neck — Layered neck construction improves strength for exceptional tuning stability.
  • Thin "U" Neck Profile — Slim, supportive shape is suited for contemporary players who want to play fast!
  • Macassar Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, fitted with 22 extra jumbo frets for stellar playability.
  • Seymour Duncan Distortion Pickups — The TB-6 Distortion is a potent humbucker designed for high-octane rock and modern metal, delivering huge output and massive sustain. Bill Kelliher loves this humbucker so much that he not only likes it installed in the bridge position, but the neck too!
  • Push/Pull Volume & Tone Knobs — Allow you to split the humbuckers to achieve sparkly single-coil sounds.
  • Locking Tuners — Guarantee superior tuning stability and makes string changes fast and simple!
