For your consideration is this splendid guitar, an ESP E-II Horizon NT-II in the (long but aptly named) finish Tiger Eye Amber Fade. It was purchased during a severe bout of GAS, and subsequently, has rarely seen the light of day (or night for that matter). It is virtually identical to a new one in every way except two: it is missing the truss rod cover, as well as a huge chunk of wood from the headstock. Ok, the second one isn't true. It has a minuscule blemish at the very pointy end of the headstock, shown in the last photo. Neither affects functionality in any way. As for aesthetics, replacement covers are readily available for less than an Andrew Jackson, and the tiny imperfection is all but invisible unless someone's specifically looking for it.

The E-II lineup, formerly known as ESP Standard, is undoubtedly among the best values in the realm of electric guitars. They are made in Japan, and offer the same quality as the instruments coming out of ESP’s vaunted custom shop. The Horizon NT-II, unsurprisingly then, boasts impeccable craftsmanship, stunning looks, and superb playability. But it's also as versatile a guitar as it gets sans tremolo, and the pickups are a large part of that. The EMG 57/66 set, not being as high strung as the likes of 81/85, cater to a broader variety of genres. Here in TW guise, featuring EMG’s proprietary three coil design, they also provide genuinely usable single coil mode. This guitar can pretty much do it all, but just as important, it does all of it pretty well. Detailed specs are provided below.

Everything that's included is shown in the photos: the guitar, hardshell case, microfiber cloth, strap lock, and truss rod wrench. Please look at them and let me know if you have any queries. Aforementioned imperfections have been accounted for in the price. Compared to alternate offerings of same/similar guitars, I think it is priced quite fairly. Nonetheless, reasonable offers are most welcome.
