ESP M-II CTM FM FR Purple Gradation V2 Original Series Custom Shop

Handcrafted one at a time by the elite luthiers of the ESP Custom Shop in Japan, the ESP M-II CTM FM FR Purple Gradation is a stunning fusion of world-class craftsmanship, modern performance, and eye-catching aesthetics. Featuring ESP's exclusive Purple Gradation finish over a beautifully figured solid flamed maple top, this Original Series instrument delivers the premium feel, precision, and tone that professional players demand.

Built with a resonant Honduras mahogany body and set-thru neck construction, the M-II CTM FM FR offers exceptional sustain, stability, and unrestricted access to all 24 frets. Its fast three-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard create a smooth, responsive playing experience that excels in everything from technical lead work to aggressive rhythm playing. The addition of stainless steel frets ensures long-term durability and a consistently slick feel.

At the heart of its versatile voice is a powerful EMG 57TW and EMG 66TW pickup set. These active pickups provide everything from crystal-clear cleans and warm, articulate leads to tight, high-output metal tones. Push-pull controls allow both pickups to switch into single-coil mode, greatly expanding the guitar's tonal range and making it equally at home on stage, in the studio, or wherever inspiration strikes.
