An E-II Horizon: ESP DNA Serving Demanding Guitarists
The E-II series embodies ESP's high-end approach made in Japan, designed for both stage and studio. This Horizon NT-II ("NT" construction) aligns with the spirit of modern performance-oriented models: smooth access to high frets, tuning stability, and refined aesthetics, featuring a particularly expressive Tiger Eye Amber Fade finish.
For Which Guitarist and Styles?
The E-II Horizon NT-II targets intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a versatile electric guitar comfortable in metal, modern rock, hard rock, and fusion. Its standard scale length and ergonomics also make it an excellent studio guitar for tight rhythm takes as well as demanding solos, with very controlled response under heavy distortion.
Sound
The combination of a mahogany body and flamed maple top provides an ideal balance: a warm, dense foundation enhanced by a sharper attack and better definition in the upper spectrum. On the amplification side, the EMG 57TW (bridge) and EMG 66TW (neck) deliver a modern, very clear sound with firm lows, present mids, and excellent palm-mute precision. The active electronics, paired with a 3-position selector and volume and tone controls, allow quick shifts from tight, articulate drive to rounder, singing tones while maintaining a consistent output level and controlled noise floor.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes with a case and is factory-strung with Elixir Nanoweb Light 10-46 strings. You can keep this gauge to preserve the feel and setup balance, and plan to use the same gauge for replacements: .010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046.
