Esoterik Guitars Unveils New Mid-Level 2015 Model, the DR3
Esoterik Guitars has released the third guitar of its new 2015 mid-level series, the DR3.
From the company:
The Esoterik DR3 features amazing tone, response, control and sustain. It combines a five-piece walnut/figured maple neck secured between a lightweight alder body, 24 easily accessible jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fretboard, 25.5-inch scale length, bass side pearl dots and glow-in-the-dark side dots on a 16-inch radius board.
This model also features a conveniently located spoke nut truss rod and a natural/clear satin finish to protect and beautify the wood. This guitar comes loaded with Seymour Duncan Blackouts, a Kahler tremolo, a GraphTech nut (placed before the lock for optimum tone) and Gotoh 510 mini tuners.
It comes with a separate bridge volume and neck volume knob, one master tone knob and a three way toggle. The wood matched electronics cavity cover plate also features a laser engraving with the Esoterik Sun logo. The DR3 headstock is topped with a rosewood overlay with a mother-of-pearl inlaid logo.
