Description

Created at the ESP facility in Tokyo, Japan, the ESP E-II Series is our highest-quality factory-produced instrument collection. The ESP E-II Horizon FR is a guitar designed for high-level performing, for serious players who can’t accept compromises in their instrument’s ability to showcase their talent. It offers set-thru construction for fast and smooth access to the highest frets, pairing a mahogany body to a three-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard and 24 extra-jumbo frets. You’ll appreciate the feel of fine, detailed workmanship each time you pick up the E-II Horizon FR, which includes high-end components like a Floyd Rose Original bridge, Schaller straplocks, Gotoh locking tuners, and more. This guitar offers some of the best-sounding and responsive passive pickups available, with the Seymour Duncan Jazz (neck) and Seymour Duncan Custom 5 (bridge) pickups that provide a world of tone for almost any genre of music from metal to fusion. The E-II Horizon FR is available in ESP’s famous Reindeer Blue finish with a beautiful quilted maple top, or in a Black Natural Burst finish, and includes a hard case.

SEYMOUR DUNCAN JAZZ (SH-2N)
Originally designed as the matching neck pickup for the JB Model bridge pickup, the Jazz is an incredibly versatile humbucker that will work for almost any style of music. An Alnico 5 bar magnet and a special coil wind give it a glassy treble response and full, tight bass, while scooped mids help each note to sing clearly even under extreme high gain – or even more extreme speed.

SEYMOUR DUNCAN CUSTOM-5 (SH-14)
Originally called the Custom Custom Custom this pickup began life in our Custom Shop from players requesting a brighter, alnico 5 version of the popular Custom Custom humbucker. It has a nice, full tone, a scooped midrange, and strikes a nice balance of bass & treble. This even reponse makes it extremely versatile and great for all types of music and playing styles. Matched with Jazz neck model for a perfectly balanced setup.
