An E-II Horizon Designed for Modern Performance

The E-II Horizon fits within the spirit of performance-oriented "superstrat" guitars: ergonomics, precision, and meticulous finishes. This NT (neck-through) version emphasizes stability and vibrational continuity, while the combination of an alder body and modern electronics makes it an instrument tailored for demanding guitarists seeking fast playability and immediate response.

For Which Guitarists and Styles

The E-II Horizon NT HS Amethyst Sparkle is especially suited for intermediate to expert levels and for anyone looking for a 6-string electric guitar capable of handling heavy tunings and rich saturations without muddiness. It excels in metal, modern rock, prog, and fusion, while remaining comfortable for precise clean tones thanks to its articulate humbuckers and very comfortable neck.

The Sound

The alder body provides a natural balance: present mids, a sharp attack, and well-controlled low end, helping the guitar stay clear in a dense mix. The 3-piece maple neck-through construction promotes projection and sustain, and the ebony fingerboard enhances the sensation of quick response, with clear highs and very clean definition in both palm-muted and legato playing.

On the electronics side, the Fishman Fluence Modern pair is designed for precision: the ceramic bridge pickup favors a cutting attack and tight lows, ideal for heavy rhythms and fast riffs, while the Alnico neck pickup adds more roundness and smoothness for leads. The Volume and Tone controls allow quick adjustment between bite and softness, from defined clean to massive saturation.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To fully exploit its 25.5" / 648 mm scale length, you can opt for a 6-string electric guitar string set (standard format). A universal guitar stand and picks suited to your attack complete the setup perfectly. The guitar comes with a gigbag for transport.
