Key Features
Product Ref: 95117
The Sparrowhawk is powered by Kelliher's own signature Lace Sensor Divinator Pickups. The Divinator pickups offer a wide array of sonic possibilities, and a wide array of tones. The powerful humbuckers produce an aggressive sound with plenty of attitude, as you would expect from Mastodon's guitarist. The pickups feature push-pull coil splitting control to offer even more tonal options for your ideal sound.
The body of the Sparrowhawk was designed by Bill himself, by incorporating the elements of many different guitars he has admired. The curvaceous body offers a comfortable playing experience and a unique appearance. The body is finished with Kelliher's classic Military Green Sunburst Satin, a black pickguard with gold hardware to complete the military look.
Crafted from mahogany, this stunning guitar provides a resonant and full tone that is ideal for punchy rock music. The sound is rich and warm, yet the maple cap brings brightness and clarity for a more defined tone. The body has a solid feel for a durable and strong guitar that will cope with heavy and aggressive play, similar to Kelliher's own style.
The 3-piece mahogany set-thru neck is more resilient to warping than the classic 1-piece neck. Mahogany as a neck tonewood is durable and offers a full and long-lasting guitar neck. The mahogany and ebony pairing is common within high-level guitars.
Bill Kelliher is the guitarist and founding member of successful heavy metal band Mastodon. Bill's signature guitar series with ESP offer the reliable electronics, design and hardware that he needs for his complex and innovative rhythms and leads.
