Just one look at the ESP E-II FRX FM tells you this solidbody electric guitar is optimized for metal fury. When you take the stage with this axe, the radical FRX FM silhouette and killer flame maple top assures that all eyes will be on you. And it only gets better when you plug into your favorite amp and start playing, fortified by a duo of splittable EMG 89 humbuckers that deploy an arsenal of tone, from from single-coil spank to sonic blitzkrieg. Thanks to its Thin "U" neck and ebony fingerboard, the ESP E-II FRX FM plays fast and furious, and it's fitted with a Floyd Rose for added expression.

Active EMG 89 pickups deliver impressive versatility

The ESP E-II FRX FM is armed with a pair of Alnico V EMG 89 active humbuckers, which pull double duty as both single- and dual-coil pickups. In single-coil mode, you get classic, chimey spank and sparkle similar to EMG's SA model. As a dual-coil, it delivers warm, powerful tone reminiscent of the popular EMG 85. You use the E-II FRX FM's push/push pots to switch between single-coil and humbucking modes. With two of these beasts onboard the E-II FRX FM, you get tons of genre-hopping tonal versatility.
