The ESP LTD D6 6-string Bass Guitar is a fantastic neck-thru-body bass with powerful 3-band EQ and a fast-playing neck. The D6 sounds as incredible as it looks. The body is made of merbau, a superb, if often overlooked tonewood. The neck is 5-piece maple and mahogany, and the 24-fret fingerboard is made of rosewood. The D6 has a 34-inch scale length, which is great for players who are not used to the 35-inch scale often found on 6-string basses
