It you know historical ESP then you know how special this axe is.. If you are new to ESP/EII then we are going to let you in on a secret. No more gate keeping.. drum roll….

**ESP MII and EII MII ARE NOT THE SAME**

In 2008 ESP (certain Bolt-on models only), introduced the AMAZING “Xtra Thin Flat” neck shape. This neck is “Ibanez meets ESP” and was not available on ANY pre 2008 ESP. No other ESP MII neck compares to the “Xtra thin flat” if you like slim/fast. Not a single EII came with this neck profile ever, ZERO. EII isn’t “just letters”, as some claim. Yes, EII is outstanding quality but there are specs only available with certain year ESP’s, and this 2008 neck is one of the most sought after ones. Crafted by the OG ESP Japan SS Team with unarguably the greatest neck ESP ever made.. 
❌2007 or older bolt on ESP M2

❌2008+ neck-thru ESP M2

❌ANY EII M2 from 2015-present 

Only certain 08-12 Bolt on Mirage body ESP’s featured the “xtra thin flat” neck shape. Now you understand why there aren’t any EVER for sale? These guitars are in people’s “I will never sell” collections. Photos show it compared to a standard ESP/EII “xtra thin U” neck (which many ESP enthusiasts don’t find thin at all). 

Only has a single volume knob, single 3 way switch, and sleek dots for fretboard inlays. Clean, simple, METAL, MACHINE. If you made it this far, you now know what you are looking at. $10,000+ Japan custom shop and a 2-3 year wait to get this neck profile today…

Nice balanced weight with a rich, dark cut of Rosewood, (no longer used in the production of these guitars due to global supply issues). Rosewood has a warm, rich, and deep tonality which is the reason PRS, Gibson and Fender still use it today for their flagship builds (mainly from precut old stock due to regulations). Look at the photos of the fretboard, exceptionally dark grain!

This Mii body/headstock/tip is free of chips and cracks! No rust on the bridge/saddles either and volume knob has 0 fading (typical for these guitars). It’s super clean and stored for over 10 years! Back of neck is still “matte” due to being unplayed it has not glossed over! Being black, it will have the typical scratches/swirls showing up in bright lighting deapite the low miles (kind of like black cars, unavoidable) but they get lost in the glossiness if no sun/direct light on it. This ESP MII will never be put on display, only handled by my luthier and I, and will remain safely stored until sold. Buy this once in a lifetime opportunity M2 with CONFIDENCE!
