The ESP E-II SN-III HT is a high-performance, Japanese-made masterpiece, combining a classic design with cutting-edge features for exceptional tone, playability, and aesthetics. Formerly part of the ESP Standard Series, E-II guitars are built in Japan to deliver professional quality and precision craftsmanship.

Featuring a stunning flamed maple top over an alder body, a three-piece maple neck with a satin finish, and a reverse headstock for increased low-string tension, this guitar is built for speed, articulation, and versatility. The ebony fingerboard with scalloped frets from 15-22 enhances upper-fret playability, making it perfect for technical solos and high-speed riffing.

With a Fishman Fluence HSS pickup configuration, including a Modern Humbucker in the bridge and Single Width pickups in the neck and middle, the SN-III HT delivers crystal-clear cleans, high-gain aggression, and a push-pull tone control for dual voicings. A Hipshot hardtail bridge, Gotoh locking tuners, and ESP strap locks ensure rock-solid tuning stability and superior comfort.
