ESP E-Ii M-Ii Quilted Maple Black Natural Burst

An E-II Designed as a Stage Instrument, Without Compromise

With the M-II, E-II targets guitarists who want an electric guitar with immediate feel and a typical "Super-Strat" ergonomics. This "Quilted Maple" version emphasizes a high-end aesthetic while retaining the performance DNA of the series: simple, effective configuration and components focused on reliability for both stage and studio use.

For Whom and Which Styles?

This guitar is mainly aimed at intermediate to expert players seeking precise attack, a fast neck, and a tremolo designed for modern techniques. It excels in metal, metalcore, hard rock, and all music requiring tight palm mutes, stable tuning, and expressive solos, while remaining responsive enough for more rock tones when the volume is turned down.

Sound

The alder body provides a natural balance between lows, mids, and highs, ideal for clear rhythm parts in a dense mix. The quilted maple top adds a sense of attack and definition, while the set maple neck promotes firm sustain and even response across the entire range. The ebony fingerboard enhances precision and clarity, particularly appreciated with modern distortion. On the electronics side, the 2 passive Bare Knuckle Aftermath humbuckers deliver a dynamic and incisive tone; the 1 volume / 1 tone controls and 3-position selector are straightforward, allowing quick shifts from a powerful bridge sound to a rounder, singing neck tone.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

For regular maintenance, you can safely use a set of 6-string electric guitar strings (gauge chosen according to your tuning and attack). A universal guitar stand and a good quality instrument jack cable effectively complete the setup, with the instrument delivered with a case.
