The ESP Guitar Company

These E-II SN guitars were like $1,700 in 2016-2017 but now they are $3,399? So they doubled in price for the same quality. What a joke!

I have had this guitar since it first came out. I haven't had any issues with it at all. Its one of the most versatile guitars I have every owned. I have a few of the mh series from back in the day, play them daily, in my opinion they are some of the most will made guitars on the market, I have played fenders , Gibson's, and a variety of others over the years, no woren frets, nuts, bridges or even tuning knobs. I don't know what goes into it on a production line or a custom shop, but keep doing what you do. And thank you for all the awesome guitar builds.

Hello,

I just wanted to let you know that the cog used to set up the Guitars action has been rotated down (whilst the instrument is strapped to my body) to its maximum rotation to the point where the end of the neck has a slight indent from the cog. 

Unfortunately the action is STILL relatively high and it effects my playing to the point where I may need to sell this! As a quick fix, I have lowered the Floyd Rose tremolo by some margin. I really love this guitar as it's my number one axe. The main drag is that it is almost unplayable now as I found this out at my last gig. It seldomly holds it's intonation or tuning making me think It's easily altered by the weather and/or environment.

Help Please!

Kind Regards, 

Nick

Hi Brandon I had to get a new Floyd as the tuning  problem couldn't be fixed at the shop I got it at (GuitarGuitar) The importer fitted a new floyd. Its much better but tbh I still am fine tuning after every few songs when practicing with my band. Your action sounds bad, I have lowered mine at the bridge down to the edge of fretbuzz territory (aprox 1.5mm 12th fret high E)  Another weird thing was when I first got it I was continually breaking the high E string and I reckon it was the ESP inlay on the 12th fret, I think the P had rough edges which led to the breaks. Its not happened in 6 months though so I think the rough edges have worn down. I'm interested in any updates from you Brandon. Are you in UK? Good luck....Dave

en donde puedo solicitar la compra? no encuentro la opción. 

The neck contour on both SN-ii and horizon II indicated the same as Thin U, but when I test it at music store, it feels different from horizon ii, isn't it?? Seems less rounded

I bought this guitar brand new just before the UK covid shutdown in November and I'm afraid it's been a tuning nightmare. If I use the Floyd Rose the tuning goes sharp, if I just bend the strings they go flat. It has a great sound and feel however it needs tuned every 5 minutes. It's back at the store for the second time since they re-opened and it's been sent back to importer in Manchester for assesment. I messaged the store a few days after purchase and they thought it would "settle down" after a few weeks play. It didn't and if anything got worse.

My previous guitar was a Jackson with a Floyd that needed tuning every few weeks so after spending £2500 on the SN-2 I had expected the same.

I'm awaiting latest assessment and hope they can resolve the problems as I do love it in its in tune moments which as described are rather fleeting.

I initially went into the store looking for my forever guitar and tried all the major brands before settling on ESP who I hadn't really heard of.

So far it's proven a bad decision.

Is this guitar available in stock ?

Why does this guitar only come in one colour? 
If it came in classic white & black for solid colours and something like the copper burst / purple burst and a flametop this guitar would sell thousands of units! 

Love to see more colors of this series 

flame orange 

or antique white?

Would love to see an HSS version of this guitar.

So I can't stop staring at this Buck Eye Burl, Natural Blue Fade top! Purchased this for a steal. Holding it as i type this now haha. If the frets on this model are not S. Steel. What are they? This workhorse shreds like a MF!

More importantly, the action seems high from the 15 fret. Kinda reluctant to mess with the truss rod. Any easy remedies to try first before going extreme? Because I just don't..truss...myself

I really would love this with a maple fretboard and a hardtail instead of a floyd (but still want the bolt on neck and headstock shape of this one which is why I wouldn't necessarily go for the M-II, although that one is also really nice)

Hi people, I wanted to ask if an ebony fingerboard helps with neck stability.  I am generally preferring at least a quarter-sawn neck, better roasted and/or flame maple because  this is a big concern of mine. Cheers!

Hi, I saw in one of your comments that ESP doesn't use SS frets on any guitars except USA and custom shop guitars. Could you please explain why ? Personnaly it's a deal breaker for me. I have an LTD and wanted to upgrade to an EII, but without SS.... I guess I'll have to switch guitar brand. I'm sad !

I am interest in this guitar, but no demo videos available 

I bought this guitar recently and its STUNNING in person. Absolutely amazing quality, feels extremely solid and plays fast as hell. Worth every dollar.

Are these stainless steel frets? I noticed on one of the other guitars you used nickel which I do not like.  SS are much smoother and faster.  

Are these pickups standard size so that EMG's could be installed or Dimarzio? 

....maple fretboard possibly?
