ESP SV

The ESP SV is a series of electric guitars produced by ESP.

The ESP SV is a series that is only produced for the Japanese and European market. Notable users of models in the SV Series include Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom, Kai Hansen of Gamma Ray, Mike Spreitzer of DevilDriver, and Circuit.V.Panther formerly of Sex Machineguns. The ESP SV design is similar to that of the Jackson Randy Rhoads; distinguishing features are the tummy cut on the rear of the guitar and hand cutout where the neck joins the body (the SV is also larger than the Randy Rhoads).
