Handcrafted Precision from ESP’s California Custom Facility

Crafted at the ESP USA facility in North Hollywood, California, the ESP USA Horizon II Custom in Cranberry Sunburst represents the highest echelon of American instrument design and lutherie. Featuring a hand-selected quilted maple top over a rich mahogany body, this guitar combines striking aesthetic beauty with uncompromised tonal versatility and effortless playability.

The ESP USA Advantage: Set-Thru Construction & World-Class Tonewoods

Unlike standard bolt-on or traditional neck-through designs, the Horizon II utilizes ESP’s premier Set-Thru Neck Joint construction. This seamlessly blends the deep, resonant warmth and sustain of a set neck with the smooth, unobstructed heel access of a neck-thru design, allowing your hand to reach the 24th fret effortlessly.

Boutique Specs & Premium Components:

• Seymour Duncan Pickup Set: Loaded with an Alnico Pro II humbucker in the neck for and a Custom 14 in the bridge with uncovered black bobbins.
• Quilted Maple over Mahogany: The solid mahogany body provides a deep, warm low-end response, while the hand-selected quilt maple top adds snap, high-end bite, and a vivid 3D visual finish under the Cranberry Sunburst gloss.
• Ebony Fingerboard & Stainless Steel Frets: 24 extra-jumbo Jescar stainless steel frets set into an ebony fingerboard offer smooth string bending, crisp note attack, and lifetime durability.
