U-SE

Despite that semi-unsightly headstock design, these are absolutely cool - Edwards' Ultratone SE. 

This version sports a pair of Jazzmaster type pickups (Ultratone SE JM) & a TOM style bridge. That extended string length between the bridge & the hard tail is totally unnecessary but it's there to perhaps emulate the tonal behaviour of a Jazzmaster. There's a slim chance these would make it here & if they do, it won't be on the light side of the price bracket as these are from the Platinum range.

This is how an ESP Ultratone looks like with the more streamlined headstock design. FYI, these were (yes, they are discontinued) extended scale instruments sporting a scale length of 27".


One was made for George Lynch.
