ESP Horizon E-Ii See Thru Black Cherry

The E-II Series: ESP Heritage Serving Performance

Designed and manufactured in Japan by experienced luthiers, the E-II guitars continue ESP's commitment to excellence: uncompromising playability, consistent build quality, and performance ready for demanding environments. This E-II perfectly embodies the spirit of the range with luthiery focused on stability, premium finish, and equipment built to last.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a reliable, responsive, and ultra-efficient instrument for saturated tones. The EMG 60 (neck) / EMG 81 (bridge) duo is particularly comfortable in metal, hard rock, core, and all styles requiring tight palm-mutes, bursting harmonics, and impeccable definition in both rhythm and lead playing.

The Sound

The maple luthiery provides a quick response, a sharp attack, and clarity that highlights precise rhythms. The through-neck construction enhances vibrational continuity between the body and neck, resulting in generous sustain and an immediate solid feel under the fingers. The ebony fingerboard adds a clear and articulated grain, ideal for fast runs and pick-driven riffs. On the amplification side, the EMG 81 at the bridge delivers a tight and cutting sound, perfect for heavy distortions, while the EMG 60 at the neck offers a rounder and more precise tone for leads, saturated arpeggios, and refined cleans. The push-push tone control allows quick access to an integrated wiring option, convenient for expanding the tonal palette during play.
