DISC ESP E-II M-II NT Hipshot, Black Turquoise Burst

Full Description

Quilted Maple Topped Mahogany Body

The E-II M-II NT Hipshot Guitar features a body crafted from mahogany, topped with beautiful quilted maple to enhance the guitar's natural brightness and creating a unique aesthetic. The mahogany tonewood delivers a soft sonic character, 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.

Thin U Maple Neck & Fingerboard

The maple neck and fingerboard create beautifully bright tones, with even harmonics and a powerful fundamental character. The maple tonewood is the perfect choice for producing clear and present notes, with its strong sustain and sharp bite adding extra detail to the top end while tightening up the low-end. Its thin U-shaped profile is perfect for speed demons, allowing players to easily reach across the entire fingerboard without losing any comfort.

Bare Knuckle Aftermath Pickups

The ESP E-II features a set of incredibly powerful Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups with a tyger covering, offering an accelerated bass response and fast tracking of high speed staccato riffing, ideal for the modern metal guitarist. The neck pickup is driven by alnico V magnets and voiced for fat, powerful clean tones, with fluid like sustain when driven hard and balanced beautifully with the bridge pickup. The Aftermath bridge features three custom sized ceramic magnets and a symmetrically hand-wound twin screw design, offering a quick low-end response, an intensely focused midrange, and an incredibly articulate high-end.

String-Through-Body Hipshot Bridge

The Hipshot bridge provides players with an incredible intonation, allowing each string to vibrate freely while remaining secure. Its hand polished construction ensures players receive a smooth, comfortable feel while playing, and the stainless-steel saddles feature a crisp string relief edge to help eliminate any dull tones. The string-through-body construction optimises the transfer of vibrations from the strings to the body, improving this ESP’s overall sustain and resonance.

Beautiful High-End Components

The ESP E-II M-II 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.
