Cited as the primary founder of Deutschland's transcendental industrial metal troupe, Richard Kruspe has led Rammstein with his bass-heavy rhythmic drones, squelching lead tones, and masterful tonal articulation since the band's inception in 1994. Celebrating his onstage prowess — and staunch ESP dedication — the LTD Richard Z RZK-PHX is finally within the reach of metal-adjacent guitarists seeking to serve a slice of Richard's firepower for themselves. Bound by a solid alder body, a satin-finished maple neck, signature Fishman pickups, and an amalgamation of ESP LTD hardware, the RZK-PHX is one scorcher that's exceptionally easy to maneuver. Likewise, controls over every stretch of Richard's tone are made possible by a deceivingly deep set of onboard voice controls. Complete with a color palette favored and wielded by Richard himself, there's no mistaking the RZK-PHX from any spot onstage.

A role model of Phoenix design

Utilizing solid alder as a body wood, the RZK-PHX's Phoenix body shape retains an ultra-comfortable playing feel while bringing out the traditional, earthy sound for which the tonewood is most known. A 3-piece maple neck, fit with a neck-through design and thin U shape profile, is equally as seamless to maneuver via a deluxe satin finish and glow-in-the-dark dot-style side markers. Of course, the RZK-PHX dutifully pays homage to it's Deutsche wielder, sporting an Olympic White gloss finish with several rounds of black hardware.

Loaded with high-performance ESP appointments

When you've got the agility and speed of Rammstein's leading 6-string master, navigability and sturdiness are of utmost importance. Following every detail within Richard's exact specifications, the RZK-PHX is lined with a collection of top-shelf ESP appointments to ensure maximum efficiency over your instrument. A TonePros locking TOM bridge with a string-through design and a molded nut guarantees an authentic playing field, maximizing string vibration while remaining in tune via LTD locking tuners and sturdy chrome hardware. Complete with 22 XJ stainless steel frets atop the rosewood fingerboard, rest assured the RZK-PHX is just as easy to maneuver as Richard makes it look.

Die Mutter of pure humbucker power

Nothing gets past Richard Kruspe's attention to detail and tonal mastery. Such is the case with Fishman's RZK signature pickup duo, which facilitates Richard's iconic, heavy-hitting sonics. Onboard the RZK-PHX signature lies an amalgamation of controls including a master volume knob with push-pull control, a 3-way toggle, a kill switch, and an additional mini toggle. With that in mind, you'll have more than enough access to every tone in the books, from down-tuned, deep bass growls to soaring high-fret leads.
