With a distinctive hard & heavy design, this E-II FRX electric guitar is sure to appeal to lovers of metal, harder rock genres and generally adventurous players. The body of the instrument is made of mahogany with an impressive flamed maple top. A three-piece maple neck with a set-thru construction, i.e. a neck recessed deep into the body, and a narrower U profile is joined by an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four Extra Jumbo frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by pearl position markers.
Two active EMG humbuckers provide the instrument's sound with the necessary fullness and precise articulation for vocal solos or chord breakdowns, while also providing density and aggression for ultra-fast guitar shred and sharply chiseled rock and metal riffs. Thanks to the push/pull function of the volume and tone shutter potentiometers, you can tap their coils to achieve a single coil sound. Other quality components used include the original Floyd Rose double-turn tremolo, Gotoh locking mechanisms and Schaller rolls. Tuning stability when using the tremolo lever is guaranteed by the locks on the zero fret, which like all hardware are in a stylish black finish.
ESP has been manufacturing electric guitars since 1984 and its satisfied customers include Kirk Hammet, James Hettfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera.
