    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.

          • I got this guitar few days ago. It s perfect... But when i play it unplugged without amp i hear noticable fret buzz on E and A till 12 fret.. In amp on dirty Chanel its ok on ckean you can hear it but not that much.. I know that extra low action might be the cause but its weird all i read about this extra fretwork with no buzz.. Maybe ill have to setup the guitar.. Maybe its normal.. Its a shame if they didnt do setup beacuse this guitar in croatia cost 2300e and thats almost 3k dollars.. But guitar is perfect except that fret buzz... Tnx

              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.
