The E-II Horizon FR electric guitar impresses at first glance with its impressive Black Natural Burst finish contrasting with the cream body and headstock binding. The body of the instrument itself is made of mahogany and the impressive top is made of flamed maple. An ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four Extra Jumbo frets is glued to a neck composed of three pieces of maple with a set-thru construction, i.e. a neck recessed deep into the body, and a narrower fast Thin U profile. Orientation around its surface is made easier by pearl offset position markers.
Two Seymour Duncan passive humbuckers provide the instrument's sound with the necessary fullness, dynamics 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. As a result, the instrument can be used in a wide range of musical genres - from metal to fusion. Controls in the form of volume potentiometers, tone shutter and a three-position pickup switch offer complete control over the sound of the pickups. In addition, the push/pull function of the tone diaphragm potentiometer allows you to split the humbucker coils for a clean single-coil sound.
The strings are housed in high-quality Gotoh Locking tuners and the original Floyd Rose double-reverse tremolo, which you can use to add impressive sound effects to your playing. The range of quality components used is extended by practical locks on the zero fret, ensuring maximum tuning stability, and Schaller safety strap locks.
The guitar is supplied in a case.
ESP has been manufacturing electric guitars since 1984 and its satisfied customers include Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera.
