Made in ESP’s Tokyo factory, the E-II M-II guitar is designed for professionals. With a neck-thru body, and aggressive EMG 81 active pickups, the E-II M-II is an ideal addition to a metal, hard rock, or prog guitarist’s rig. It has been used by such luminaries as the Deftones’ Stephen Carpenter and Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, which demonstrates its sonic versatility. The NT in the model name indicates models with no tremolo.
