Rapier add the Escort to its Series of electric guitars and basses, designed by
the legendary UK guitar builder and hardware specialist Alan Entwistle.
Whilst the single cutaway, solid bodied Rapier Escort is immediately attractive
to the eye and available in 2 Tone Sunburst, Arctic White and Gloss Black, guitar
players not only aspire to the guitar’s outstanding playability, they are also in awe
of its tonal range, thanks to the wide spaced installation of the two Alan Entwistle
VX63 alnico pickups.

With this wide spacing, the Escort delivers superb isolation when switching
between the natural hard-edged attack from the bridge pickup to the warm flutey
sonics of the neck unit and, with both combined via a 3 way selector switch, the
Rapier Escort emphasises strong mid-frequencies and pronounced separation
with outstanding sonic versatility, for a rich tonal spectrum that’s ideal for a host
of musical styles from country to blues, pop and rock.

Impressive tonewood and hardware specifications include an okoume body,
bolt-on maple neck, 22 fret rosewood fingerboard, Wilkinson EZ Lok machine
heads, Graphtech nut, roller bridge and a redesigned, super-smooth operating
Hi-Lo Resonance long-plate vibrato system
