At first glance, this E-II Horizon NT-II electric guitar impresses with its flame maple top with Blue Purple Gradation finish and contrasting bright binding. The body of the guitar itself is made of mahogany. A three-piece maple neck with a narrower U profile is joined by an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-four Extra Jumbo frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by mother-of-pearl position blocks.
Two active EMG humbuckers provide the instrument's sound with the necessary fullness and precise articulation for vocal solos or chord breakdowns, as well as density and aggression for ultra-fast guitar shred and sharply chiseled rock and metal riffs. Thanks to the push/pull function of both potentiometers, you can split the humbucker coils and change the character of the sound purely to single-coil. The strings are secured in the Gotoh TOM's solid tailpiece and through the body of the instrument. Other quality components used include Gotoh Locking mechanisms or Schaller rolls.
ESP has been manufacturing electric guitars since 1984 and satisfied customers include Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera.
