ESP Horizon
ESP Horizon
I just bought an ESP Horizon FR-II Black Aqua. I am from Costa Rica and I bought it online, so I couldn't test it. The guitar is coming from USA. I want to know experiences of the current users of ESP Horizon...are you satisfied? I am expecting the best of the best!!! Was it a good choise?
You made an excellent choice! I have a NT-II and a LTD MH250 as a back up. If you want a LTD as a back up, I would say try as many as possible. I used to have a MH1000 as a backup but it had a few minor issues(fret job wasn't the greatest and the bridge pickup was installed about 2mm offset to the right). The MH250, on the otherhand, is almost built better than my NT-II. Its strange since the Korean models are supposed to be better built than the Indoneasan models.
[I am trying to send my original post - if this works, it was the smiley that I deleted.] --- Yes, good choice. I just received my Horizon NT-II DBSB a couple of days ago - bought it online without ever picking one up or hearing it plugged in other than on YouTube. Honestly, I don't know what made me do it. Just kind of stumbled across it online and was interested. I don't know what it is about it; but, it is super. Fit and finish is superb. Setup and playability couldn't be any better. Love the Duncans - no disrespect to EMG (I've got 81s, 85, 89s in my Dean and Schecter). Overall, couldn't be happier with it. I think ESP is kind of lurking in the shadows of the other big boys and maybe doesn't get the recognition or exposure it deserves. I've got Fender Strats and Teles, Gibson Les Paul Studio and SGs, Gretsch, PRS, Epiphone, Dean, Schecter, and Washburn. My ESP takes a back seat to none. Haven't put it down, except to go to work! Enjoy your new baby.
I was playing an ESP SRC signature for roughly a decade before I decided to purchase my next ESP, and that purchase was a Horizon FR-II in See-Thru Red. Out of all the guitars I've purchased, and played over the years, this guitar just blows them away!! The playability on this thing is just phenominal, and I can beat on the OFR all I want without having to worry about going out of tune.
Bottom line: You will enjoy every second of this guitar!
Hello,
Not to resurect an old post but I wanted to find info and thoughts. You guys seem to know your stuff about these guitars! I just ordered an ESP Horizon for about $1,000 from Guitar Center, but can't find any info on this particular guitar and also wonder about quality because it doesn't appear to be the same as most horizon guitars I see. Hoping it will be here tomorrow!!
This is my first ESP and venture outside of my "comfort zone"
All it said about the guitar online was:
"ESP 2000s The Horizon Solid Body Electric Guitar - Japanese Market Custom, Wilkinson Tremolo, Sperzel Locking Tuners"
My current line up includes: 1998 usa strat deluxe, 2012 Gibson Les Paul Traditional, 2007 Custom G&L Comanche, 2014 Gibson Firebird V.... how is quality of this horizon vs these guitars.
Part of the reason I went guitar center vs ebay is the ability to drive it back to my local store and return it. so its a nice net to have incase I ordered a poor guitar. Please, tell me your thoughts and opinions!
I Own the M-1 and a KH2, dosent have the archtop body but they both play like a dream. i have no doubts you'll be very satisfied.
