A Horizon Built for the Stage: The E-II Spirit in a High-End Super-Strat

The E-II Horizon FR-II Andromeda II Satin continues the line of performance-oriented E-II instruments: a shred-style ergonomics, premium components, and a no-compromise approach for demanding styles. Its Super-Strat identity and equipment (active pickups, Floyd Rose) clearly place it among guitars built to handle high gain, dynamic changes, and modern techniques.

Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?

This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking fast playability and impeccable stability. It excels in metal, hard rock, prog, and fusion, but remains comfortable whenever a sharp, precise, and quiet sound is needed on stage or in the studio.

The Sound

The mahogany body and maple top combination provides a warm and dense foundation with added attack and clarity: ideal for tight riffs and solos that cut through the mix. The active EMG81 bridge pickup delivers a very direct response, tight lows, and incisive mids for distortion, while the EMG89R neck pickup offers a rounder, singing tone for lead playing. Controls include a tone and a push/pull volume split, useful for expanding the tonal palette by switching from a compact texture to a more open sound depending on the setting.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes with a case, providing suitable protection for transport. To maintain the original string gauge and intended playing feel, a set of 09-42 strings is recommended.
