A Signature Built for Aesthetics and High Gain Demands

Designed around the needs of Richard Z. Kruspe, the E-II Richard Z RZK-II fits within the world of modern metal-oriented signature guitars. The Single Cutaway format provides a solid foundation and a strong visual presence, while the Burnt finish reinforces its dark and stage-ready identity. The E-II series is crafted to deliver premium build quality and components, with a resolutely performance-focused approach.

For Which Guitarist and Styles?

This 6-string electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an effective heavy sound machine, both in the studio and live. It excels in metal, industrial, modern hard rock genres, and any situation requiring tight palm-mutes, razor-sharp riffs, and leads that cut through the mix. Since the Floyd Rose requires some handling skills (setup, string changes), it is better suited for those who want to seriously exploit floating vibrato effects.

The Sound

The alder body offers a natural balance: clean lows, present mids, and clear highs, ideal for maintaining clarity with dense distortion. The maple neck enhances attack and responsiveness, while the rosewood fingerboard adds a touch of warmth, pleasant on aggressive attacks.

On the electronics side, the active EMG 81 pickups in neck and bridge positions deliver a tight, compressed, and very direct output: perfect for muted chords, fast rhythms, and solos that remain defined. The Volume control is straightforward, and the 3-position selector allows quick switching from a cutting rhythm tone to a fuller sound, while maintaining strong presence. The Floyd Rose Original adds an "elastic" response and effective sustain, while allowing pronounced vibrato effects.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

With its active electronics, having a spare 9V battery is good practice to secure rehearsals and concerts. A quality jack cable and a reliable tuner are also recommended to get the best out of the instrument's precision. A case is included for transport.
