Player's Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to offer up this ESP E-II M-II Neck-Thru guitar.
The E-II M-II is a straightforward, metal-ready and shred-happy guitar that'll be a perfect fit for a lot of players out there looking for an aggressive tone and super smooth playability. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel - it's all about providing everything you need for a great metal/hard rock setup without getting in your way. This one's loaded up with Bare Knuckle Pickups, which are widely regarded as some of the best hard rock and metal pickups on the market today. Rich, heavy and searing, the sound is ready for any amount of gain you can throw at it. The trem snaps right back to tune every time you wail away on it.
The build quality is off the charts with these E-II guitars: They have the type of balanced, dialed in feel that you typically only come across on custom shop creations. While obviously still commanding a respectable price tag, this really does feel like an instrument that could retail for much more and would still be appreciated. This guitar is ready for decades of incendiery tone and reliable service.
Manufacturer's Description
Formerly called “ESP Standard”, all ESP E-II instruments are created at our ESP factory in Tokyo, Japan, and are designed for professional players who accept no compromises in tone, feel, or reliability for their guitars and basses. With the ESP E-II M-II NT Hipshot, you get all of the tone benefits of a hardtail-style tailpiece with string-thru body design in a beautiful guitar topped in quilted maple with an outstanding Black Turquoise Burst finish. The E-II M-II NT Hipshot also features design details like natural body binding, white binding on the neck and headstock, and black hardware. Its tone is powered by a pair of direct-mounted Bare Knuckle Aftermath Tyger pickups, perfect for modern sounds with accelerated bass response, crushing midrange, and precise high-end articulation. You also get high-quality components including a Schaller straplock, Gotoh locking tuners, and a bone nut. Includes ESP hardshell form-fitting case.
