Preview: GrassRoots (by ESP) LPS-Mini

”Honey, I’ve shrunk my guitar!” The GrassRoots LPS-Mini may look cute and cuddly, but it’s a real electric guitar.
It’s built like a full-size LP-type guitar, but has a short scale of only 20.5 inches. The LPS-Mini sports a single (bridge) humbucker, and it also comes with a built-in guitar amp and speaker (inside the ”neck pickup”).
Use a set of 011-gauge strings for a fairly normal feel in standard tuning, or use it with a lighter gauge if you want to tune a few steps up.
