Hello, could you please clarify something. Does this guitar come with an ebony fretboard or rosewood, in specs it says ebony but in the picture it looks like rosewood. Also, there are some versions with rosewood fretboard on internet as well as with ebony. If I buy this guitar and it was produced in 2020 or 2021, what fretboard material will it have? Thank you in advance!!
Hello, this model is now produced with ebony fingerboard. We will update the website as soon as we are able to. For anything built last year it would also have been made with ebony.
If you have any questions not answered on our product page, please contact ESP Customer Service at customerservice@espguitars.com
Looks like Pau Ferro fretboard
The NECK CONTOUR of this model y exactly equal to the E-II Arrow or is it finer?
HI, all thin u necks will be based on the same specs, however they may very by slight increments due to amount of paint over the wood as well as hand sanding and shaping.
If you have any more questions, please contact ESP Customer Service at customerservice@espguitars.com

Finally, I received my guitar! Really a pleasure to play on it. The wait has been long but now I have my ESP!
I've seen this guitar with an ebony fretboard, is that how they are now being produced? And yes, I emailed customer service asking this question, no response.
Hi, this model has an ebony fingerboard. There was a typo on the website and it has been updated. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just posted my 2019 for sale on Reverb. Check it out!
Hi Jeremy, Thanks for letting everyone know and good luck.
Can you post a link to it? I'm interested.
I wish this guitar came with the ebony fretboard if it did i would buy it right now the fretboard is the only thing holding me back from the purchase.
thanks for sharing your thoughts!
This guitar with ebony fretboard (and also mahogany body) will be amaziiing!!!, ohh and SS frets, dude I will sell my guitars just to get it!!!

Bought this last month and it came with an ebony fretboard not a rosewood is this normal?

Hi
what is the difference of sound between an EMG 81/85 set and a EMG 81/81 set?

Classic, would also love this guitar in white, or in purple sparkle, Kirk Hammett really made the purple sparkle a very popular colour so i'd think this guitar would sell incredibly well in that colour, or red sparkle too for that matter.
thanks for sharing your opinion!
In my own little dream world I would love this guitar to:
1) Get rid of the pickup rings
2) Have stainless steel frets
3) A roasted maple neck and fretboard
Any chance we could see this for next years model?
nothing planned at the moment, thanks for the suggestions
I would like to see the same. But ESP cannot think outside the box.
Please do this guitar with a maple fretboard next year! I love the black and maple combination, or ebony would be great too!
Thanks for the recommendation!
I'd love to have a chance at the Bolt On/Maple Fretboard/Seymour Duncan model if you guys brought that back!
yeah i'd love one of those too! they're impossible to find at the moment as well, I've been looking for one for months!
Are the delivery dates typically accurate? Or will the expected date tend to change for most orders ?
Delivery dates would be set by the carrier delivering your order, unfortunately we have no influence over our shipping carriers.
What's the inlay material?
abalone, hope this helps
What is the frets size (width and height)?
Fret wire will be comparable in size to Dunlop 6110 fretwire
Is truss rod dual action?
Yes, this will be a dual action truss rod
Carl
Thank you for your kindly reply.
I’ve ordered EMG B289 which is solder less.
This should work, correct?
Should work just fine for you
Hi, I need to replace EMG toggle switch for my ESP MII EII.
Could you tell me the model#?
This will use a standard toggle switch which can be obtained from any guitar parts supplier.
