The ESP LTD JL-600 is the signature model of Jeff Ling, lead guitarist for Australian metalcore giants Parkway Drive, and it's built for speed, precision, and relentless performance. Based on the high-performance ESP M Series, the JL-600 pushes the boundaries of shred-ready design with killer tone and effortless playability.

Featuring neck-thru-body construction with a 25.5" scale, this guitar offers exceptional sustain and seamless access to the upper frets—perfect for fast solos and intricate leads. The extra-thin U-shaped, 3-piece maple neck is satin-finished and unpainted for lightning-fast play, while the alder body delivers balanced tone with a tight low end and snappy response.

Its Macassar ebony fingerboard boasts 24 extra-jumbo frets, a custom PWD inlay at the 12th fret, and glow-in-the-dark side markers for a premium playing experience—even on the darkest stages. The EMG Metalworks 60 (neck) and 81 (bridge) active pickups provide the full spectrum—from clean articulation to full-blown metal fury.

With a TonePros locking TOM bridge, string-thru-body setup, and LTD locking tuners, the JL-600 offers rock-solid stability and precision tuning through even the most aggressive performances. Designed for metal mastery, the JL-600 is ready to take the stage and command it.
