Formerly known as “ESP Standard”, ESP E-II instruments are made in Japan at the ESP factory. With its quilt top, beautiful translucent finish, and gold hardware accents, the E-II M-II Black Natural Burst is one of the most distinctively impressive guitars ever to bear the E-II name. This guitar features set-thru construction at 25.5” scale for fast and easy access to the highest frets. It has an alder body topped with figured quilted maple. Its three-piece maple neck is satin-finished on the back for the ultimate in smooth playing feel. Its ebony fingerboard features pearloid offset block inlays and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Another high-class element of this guitar’s design is the natural masked binding on the body and a white fully bound neck and matching-finish headstock. The E-II M-II Black Natural Burst includes top-tier components like gold hardware, a Floyd Rose Original double-locking bridge, Gotoh locking tuners, and ESP strap locks. This outstanding guitar also features a set of direct-mounted Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups with black Battleworn covers and gold bolts, offering accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing, and delivering a crushing midrange and precise high-end articulation. A push-pull tone control allows for coil splitting. Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case.
