This is not your average ESP M-II. Built in 2011 at ESP’s legendary Kiso Custom Shop in Japan, this M-II Custom represents the absolute peak of ESP craftsmanship. Unlike standard production models, every detail here was hand-selected and hand-built by ESP’s top luthiers—making it an instrument for true professionals and collectors.
The guitar is in immaculate, like-new condition—not a scratch, not even a speck of dust.
About ESP Kiso Custom Shop
The Kiso facility in Japan is ESP’s most prestigious workshop, reserved exclusively for special orders and artist-level builds. Instruments from Kiso are considered the pinnacle of ESP quality, even surpassing USA Custom Shop models. As a result, Kiso guitars are highly sought after by collectors and gain value over time.
Tone & Performance
Loaded with the classic EMG 81/85 active pickup set, this M-II delivers everything from razor-sharp riffs to creamy, sustaining leads. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, the guitar cuts through with clarity and power.
- EMG 81 (Bridge): Aggressive, tight, and articulate—perfect for palm-muted riffs and high-gain solos.
- EMG 85 (Neck): Warm, smooth, and full-bodied—excellent sustain and surprisingly organic cleans.
Combined with a neck-thru maple construction, ebony fingerboard, and Original Floyd Rose, this guitar offers incredible sustain, stability, and precision tuning for modern metal, hard rock, and beyond.
