The LTD GH-SV is a striking and powerful instrument from Gary Holt’s Signature Series, embodying the aggression and precision for which the thrash metal legend is known. Featuring the iconic ESP SV shape with its asymmetrical V design, the GH-SV is built for speed and shredding, with a flat body top and back ensuring nothing stands in the way of your playing. Its sleek Black finish is accented with bold red multi-ply binding on the body, neck, and headstock, as well as red pickup covers and a scripted red LTD logo. With neck-thru-body construction, the GH-SV offers exceptional sustain and smooth access to all 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on its Macassar ebony fingerboard, adorned with pearloid split block inlays. Equipped with active EMG pickups—the versatile EMG 89R in the neck (featuring a push-pull coil split) and the aggressive EMG 81 in the bridge—this guitar delivers crushing tones perfect for thrash and heavy metal. A Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo system and Grover tuners provide precise tuning stability, while its premium components make it a formidable choice for professional players.
