All ESP Original Series instruments are hand-crafted, one at a time, by the world-renowned expert luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan. With its ESP exclusive Blue Lava finish, the distinctive M-II DX — built to the world’s highest standards in reliability, speedy and precise playability, and versatile, powerful tones — definitely stands out in a crowd. Built using bolt-on construction at 25.5” scale, it pairs a roasted alder body to a speedy thin u-shaped three-piece maple neck, then adds an ebony fingerboard with offset bar inlays, Luminlay side dots, a reverse matching-finish headstock, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. The ESP M-II DX has a phenomenal component set that includes black hardware, ESP strap locks, Gotoh locking tuners, a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo bridge, and a set of premier-class Seymour Duncan pickups… a TB-4 JB Trembucker in the bridge position, and an SH-1 ‘59 in the neck position with brushed chrome covers, providing full and powerful low end, crisp highs, and a sweet midrange bump for extraordinary clarity. Includes a deluxe ESP form fit case.
