ESP LTD FL-4 Fred Leclercq, Black Red Burst Satin
Fred Leclercq is one of the preeminent musicians and producers in the world of heavy music. Respected for his work as a guitarist in bands like Sinsaenum and Amahiru, Fred is perhaps best known as a bassist… first as a member of power metal lords DragonForce, and more recently as the current bass player for German thrash metal legends Kreator. Fred’s latest LTD Signature Series bass, the FL-4, has a unique body shape that started with the look of ESP’s Forest/F Series, but adds a diabolical cutout at the tail end. Its finish, with Satin Black that bursts to Red on the front and back edges of its body, is equally demonic. The FL-4 features neck-thru-body construction at 34” scale, pairing an alder body with an extra-thin five-piece maple/purpleheart neck and Macassar ebony fingerboard with black binding, red offset dot inlays, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Its sound is driven by a single active EMG 35P pickup. Other pro components of the FL-4 include a Hipshot A Style bridge and Grover mini tuners. Includes deluxe ESP hardshell case.
