USED ESP / BB-IV Standard See-Thru Black Sunburst [11]

The BB-IV Standard, launched as part of ESP’s Original Series in the late 1990s.

Despite its simple single-humbucker configuration, this practical guitar features an active 3-band EQ, making it capable of a wide range of sound shaping. It is equipped with a Seymour Duncan SMB-4D pickup, which delivers a powerful tone centered on rich bass and prominent mids—a sound that stands out even in a band ensemble.

The body is made of ash, and the neck is a bolt-on maple design. Characterized by quick attack and tight response, it accommodates a wide range of playing styles, from fingerstyle to slap. The 24-fret configuration ensures excellent playability in the higher registers, allowing for flexible execution of technical phrases.

Another highlight is the stable sustain and clear attack provided by the ESP-original bridge. Its simple appearance encapsulates the rational design and dedication to sound characteristic of 1990s ESP.
