DISC ESP E-II Horizon FR, Black

Full Description

Maple Topped Mahogany Body

The E-II Horizon’s body is crafted from mahogany, and features a maple top to enhance the guitar's natural brightness. The mahogany tonewood delivers a soft tone, with plenty of grind and bite to keep it well-balanced and create plenty of depth. The guitar’s appealing high end and full, tight low end ensures the overall tonality remains thick and firm, offering plenty of dynamics to accommodate a variety of musical styles. The body is finished in a smooth black colour with white binding and black hardware, creating a visually stunning and sophisticated appearance.

Maple Neck & Ebony Fingerboard

The ESP E-II Guitar is equipped with a 3pc maple neck and ebony fingerboard, delivering warm, bright tones with plenty of depth and dynamics. The maple offers roundness to the tone, providing bright characteristics and an excellent amount of sustain. The addition of an ebony fingerboard helps to tighten up the neck’s tone, giving it a defined feel, excellent clarity, and a fast attack. The maple and ebony combination creates a sparkling, sizzling high end, a muscular controlled bass response, and a snappy midrange with extra presence in the lower mids.

Seymour Duncan Jazz & Custom 5 Pickups

The ESP E-II guitar is equipped with a jazz neck humbucker and a custom 5 bridge humbucker, delivering loud, bright tones which remain clear even under extreme distortion. The jazz neck offers an extremely versatile vintage-output, producing a glassy treble response with a tight, full bass. The custom 5 humbucker offers a high output tone with an even bass and treble response, making it perfect for a wide range of musical styles.

Floyd Rose Original Tremolo

For many years Floyd Rose has been the leading manufacturer and designer of floating, locking tremolos. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years, the Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch with the removable whammy bar to create unique sounds such as dive bombs. Unlike non-locking tremolo's, the Floyd Rose bridge can make huge changes in pitch but still retain the initial tuning via the locking nut at the end of the headstock.

Beautiful High-End Components

The guitar is finished off with a range of high-end components to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. The Gotoh locking tuners improve tuning stability and reduces string slippage, while the Schaller straplocks protect against accidental strap release, ensuring players can deliver a powerful performance without worrying about dropping their guitar.
