The LTD RA-600 Rob Arnold Electric Guitar features a solid alder body with a maple thru neck. Neck-thru construction ensures incredible strength and sustain. Your tone is sent to your amp by a single, beefy active EMG-81 pickup at the bridge position.
Divebomb the masses with the Floyd Rose tremolo bridge, and leave tuning worries behind with the locking nut.
To keep your signal clean and mean, ESP has limited the controls to a single volume knob. The RA-600 neck features a fast U-shaped profile and an ebony fingerboard with 24 extra jumbo frets, perfect for high-speed shredding. Chrome hardware completes the metal-ready look.
Lead guitarist Rob Arnold, along with Chimaira, has been taking the world of metal by storm since the early 00s, and shows no signs of stopping.

Nowhere else can you find a neck-thru, 24 3/4" scale, Floyd rose equipped, M-style body, unpainted neck, ebony fretboard, with full binding and pickguard. This LTD RA-600 is just sick! The quality is top of the line, the neck feel is incredible with the satin finish, and of course the frets are perfect. And I love the neck shape. Not too thick, not too thin. A truly perfect guitar.
I'd give it a 5 for features, but c'mon, it only has one pickup. Doesn't really bother me, but I am adding a stacked volume/ tone knob just to get some more tones out of it. I also put a passive Alnico V pickup in it, EMGs just aren't my thing.
I love this guitar so much, it has actually made me like my other guitars less (I didn't know that could happen). I look at them like "why would I play those when the RA is right there?" This guitar has absolutely put every guitar I've ever owned - other LTDs included - to shame.

This guitar is by far my favorite out of all the esp's and ltd's I own. The neck is super fast, the string action on mine is like literally on the frets and it doesnt buzz at all, the floyd rose tremolo stays in tune and I can do pinch harmonics as much as I want and it wont go out of tune!
I'd highly recomend this guitar to anyone who either likes metal, or is a big fan of esp's ltd's or chamiara! the only problem is getting a 9 volt lol but if you can save up enought...GET IT NOW!! You will never be sorry you got it!

A review from the designer- Rob Arnold

For about a year and a half now, I've had my custom RA-3 ESP that the RA-600 you're inquiring about, is based off of. Whether I was at rehearsals, on the bus, or in the studio, I'd always notice people admiring my guitar. And when they'd finally get the chance to play it, it was always the same- "Man! This guitar plays great!" And then they'd still be talking about it days, even months later....which always made me proud. I'm sitting here now, with the very first RA-600 off the production line, and I honestly just said to myself, "I think this guitar just might feel and play better than my custom." I know it sounds crazy, but it's THAT good. It's stunningly gorgeous, and plays like a dream. The natural satin finish on the back of the neck along with the lightning fast ebony fret board, combine for the smoothest and most comfortable feeling neck ever. The alder body demands a ton of sustain, and fits perfectly in your lap while you're sitting, or hangs comfortably and balanced while you're standing. The EMG-81 pickup cranks enough output to be heard throughout a concert arena, yet sounds just as thick and tight when played at home at a practice volume.
I wouldn't put my name behind a product that I didn't totally respect, and this guitar has blown away my expectations. I couldn't be happier with my RA-600, and I know that you're going to feel the exact same way!
