    Created at the ESP facility in Tokyo, Japan, the ESP E-II Series is our highest-quality factory-produced instrument collection. The ESP E-II Horizon-III is a bold variation on the classic ESP Horizon shape, with an extended and beveled upper horn and a shortened lower horn. Like other models in the ESP E-II Series, the Horizon-III is a guitar designed for high-level performing, for serious players who can't accept compromises in their instrument's ability to showcase their talent. It's available in two versions: the Horizon-III FR (with Floyd Rose Original bridge in See Thru Black finish) or the standard Horizon-III (in Reindeer Blue finish, with a Gotoh TOM bridge and string-thru-body design). Both models use neck-thru-body construction, providing terrific tone and sustain, and fast access to the highest frets. The E-II Horizon-III offers some of the best-sounding and responsive passive pickups available, with a Seymour Duncan Jazz (neck) and a Seymour Duncan Custom 5 (bridge) pickup. Includes a hard case.

      Can a tremolo system be installed in this guitar without affecting the sound/pickups?

          I bought this guitar second hand and I have to say its one of the best guitars I've ever played - it feels just as good as guitars three times the price. The SD custom 5 and Jazz pickups sound incredible for anything from blues to black metal. Most notably the frets feel unbelievably good - better than my Ibanez prestige, custom Carvin, and Music man JP7. Its my go to guitar for recording and live performances. Not to mention its purple like raindeer eyes in the winter!

              I love the body shape so much.  The headstock shape fits it really well too.  Wish this color came in floyd rose.  And I wish more colors were offered without a see through flame top.  Also perhaps with a more flat top without the bevel.

                    JUST ONE MORE ESP GUITAR FOR ME! I wish this model had a 7 string option like Ray from Deviloof's custom.

                      I've read conflicting information about the top. Is it mahogany with a maple top or mahogany with a veneer, or mahogany with a maple top and a veneer?  Thanks!
