Player's Perspective

ESP's E-II series guitars blend the unsurpassed quality of high end ESP models with the accessibility of the LTD line. They're immaculately built, professional-grade instruments ready for the stage, studio and road.

This axe isn't about reinventing the wheel. It's about taking a classic metal design - dual humbuckers, Floyd Rose, fast neck - and pulling it off with custom-shop level quality and attention to detail for well shy of 2K. The neck is fast, the body is sleek and the fretwork is immaculate. ESP did a great job dialing in the feel of the upper register. The fretboard has a kind of natural springiness past the 12th fret, perfect for expressive leads with lots of distortion. You can get away with a full step bend on the 24th fret on this guitar, and it always snaps right back to tune. High-quality pickups top off the whole package. If you're on the hunt for the last metal or hard rock guitar you'll need to buy, this one should be on your radar.

Manufacturer's Description

The ESP E-II Horizon-III is a bold variation on the classic ESP Horizon shape, with an extended and beveled upper horn and a shortened lower horn. Like other models in the ESP E-II Series, the Horizon-III is built in Japan, and is designed for serious players who can't accept compromises in their instrument's ability to showcase their talent. Available in a killer Black Cherry Fade finish over a quilted maple top, it’s a neck-thru-body design with a mahogany body, 3-piece maple neck, and ebony fingerboard. It includes top-tier components like a Floyd Rose Original bridge, Schaller straplocks, and Gotoh locking tuners. The E-II Horizon-III offers some of the best-sounding and responsive passive pickups available, with a set of Seymour Duncan SH-2n (neck) and Custom 5 (bridge) pickups with push-pull coil splitting.
