The ESP USA V-II FR GH in Apple Bomb is an unapologetically aggressive instrument that blends iconic ESP styling with world class craftsmanship and uncompromising performance. Built in the ESP USA Custom Shop, this V-II commands attention with its razor sharp silhouette and dazzling Apple Bomb gloss finish, a rich metallic red that shimmers brilliantly under the light. Accented by premium gold hardware, the finish creates a striking visual contrast that perfectly complements the guitar's modern design while paying homage to the bold aesthetics that have defined ESP for decades.

At its core is a neck-thru-body design featuring a three piece maple neck seamlessly joined to mahogany body wings, delivering exceptional sustain, outstanding resonance, and effortless upper fret access. The mahogany body provides a powerful tonal foundation with rich midrange warmth and authoritative low end, while the neck-thru construction enhances note definition and singing sustain. Weighing just 7 lbs 11 oz, the V-II offers remarkable balance for such a commanding body shape, making it equally comfortable for extended rehearsals, recording sessions, and demanding live performances.

The three piece maple neck is carved to ESP's renowned Extra Thin U profile, measuring 19 mm at the first fret and 21 mm at the twelfth fret for an exceptionally fast yet comfortable feel. Finished in high gloss, the neck glides effortlessly in the hand while maintaining the precision and stability expected from a professional instrument. The ebony fingerboard features a 305 mm radius and is fitted with 24 Jescar FW57110 frets, providing a smooth, durable playing surface that excels with everything from intricate rhythm work to effortless bends and high speed lead playing. A two way adjustable truss rod ensures long term stability, while the 25.5 inch scale length and 42 mm R2 locking nut provide a familiar, performance focused feel.

Built for absolute reliability, the V-II is equipped with an Original Floyd Rose double locking tremolo, allowing expressive pitch manipulation while maintaining exceptional tuning stability. Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners provide quick string changes and rock solid tuning, while Dunlop locking strap buttons offer additional confidence for stage performance. Every hardware component is finished in gold, creating an elegant contrast against the vibrant Apple Bomb finish and reinforcing the guitar's premium aesthetic.

Powering the V-II is a Fishman Fluence Modern 3 Voice pickup set, delivering extraordinary tonal flexibility without sacrificing clarity or output. From crushing modern metal rhythms and articulate progressive lead tones to dynamic cleans and vintage inspired textures, the Fluence system provides multiple distinct voices with exceptional consistency and virtually noise free operation. Controlled by a straightforward master volume, master tone, and three way pickup selector, the electronics offer intuitive operation while covering an impressive sonic range suitable for virtually any professional application.

Factory strung with D'Addario NYXL Super Light .009 to .042 strings, this ESP USA V-II arrives ready for precision performance right out of the included ESP USA form fit hardshell case. Combining elite American craftsmanship, premium appointments, and uncompromising playability, the ESP USA V-II FR GH in Apple Bomb stands as a modern metal masterpiece built for players who demand exceptional performance without compromise.
