E-II HORIZON-III
E-II HORIZON-III
REINDEER BLUE

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 bought this guitar used, I already have two LTD active pickups, but I also wanted passive pickups, less metal type. this guitar is really fantastic, very light, a super fast neck, and the shape makes the neck close to the body. when a microphone, they have nothing to envy of the active ones, high output level, lots of bass and treble, it sounds, very versatile, Jazz, Rock, hard, metal... everything goes.
After years of being in the running, and going with Jackson and schecter, this may be the one. Currently down to an American Jag, a couple modern Gibson's, Ibanez prestige 6 and 7s, and a head 6, along with this. The horizon seems to be the one slowly growing on me. Absolutely stunning guitar, and I use mostly Duncan's, but this is my first experience with the custom 5 and the jazz, and man does this sound versatile.
Hello, we've switched to satin necks for all the E-II models. You will see the site updated as soon as we are able to.

- 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
It's normal for an instrument to need a setup after traveling such long distances, if you have any questions you may reach out to our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com or https://www.espguitars.com/pages/support
Always spend a little on a pro setup on a guitar like this, unless you can do it yourself. Most of mine have come pretty good from factory, but there's always little tiny things you could find that need a little tweak from factory. The hand built, maybe a different story. I feel like spending this much, stats 50-80 dollars extra to have everything on point.
