Eii horizon iii vs horizon nt2
My local store has a new eii horizon iii and a used horizon nt2
Whats the difference between these two? Is the horizon nt2 discontinued now? Is the eii new compared to that?
Is there a big difference sound wise and or benefits of one compared to the other.. debating to buy the new one
ESP E-II is the new Standard series since 2014, made in the same Japanese factory. The Horizon NT-II is still available in the E-II line.
The NT/NT-II has a mahogany body while the Horizon-III has an Alder body.
They changed the traditional tuners on the Standard to locking tuners on the E-II.
The pickups on the old Standards were either EMG 81/85 (active) or Seymour Duncan JB/59 (passive). The E-IIs have EMG 66/57 (active) or Seymour Duncan Jazz/Custom 5 or Custom Hybrid (passive).
