ESP E-II instruments, formerly known as “ESP Standard Series,” are made in Japan at the ESP factory by highly skilled builders. The ESP E-II Horizon FR-II in Gun Metallic Black finish looks every bit as tough and uncompromising as it sounds. This guitar is built with set-thru construction at 25.5” scale, giving you a smooth, unobstructed pathway to the highest frets. Its features include a mahogany body with maple cap, a three-piece thin U-shaped maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Components on the ESP E-II Horizon FR-II include black hardware, a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo bridge, ESP strap locks, Gotoh locking tuners, and a set of outstanding and aggressive active pickups: the famous EMG 81 in the bridge, and an EMG 89R (splittable with reversed single-coil positioning) in the neck, both with brushed black chrome covers. Includes ESP form-fit case.
