Aggressive pickups

The dual Bare Knuckle Aftermath humbuckers in this searing electric deliver beautifully aggressive, crunchy, chunky tone — ideal for heavy rocking in whatever style you’re into. The twin screw-coil design and three custom ceramic magnets on these hot pickups kick out full bottom end with an impressively balanced and controlled midrange and treble that are not shy of being driven with gain.

ESP’s Mirage body style delivers amazing comfort and tone

When you want to rock, you can count on ESP’s body style for exceptional sustain and tone-packed performance. A Hipshot hardtail bridge gives the E-II M-II HT incredible sustain while enhancing articulation and clarity. The 25.5" scale length is perfect for down-tuned playing, giving you a powerful foundation for a wide range of contemporary music styles, while the thin “U” neck with its smooth maple fingerboard is instantly playable and responsive.

Top-of-the-line quality from Japanese-made ESP guitars

ESP started as a manufacturer of after-market guitar parts in Japan in the late 1970s. By the mid-80s ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye toward playability and craftsmanship has made ESP Guitars one of the most visible and prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. Each ESP E-II M-II guitar is still made in Japan. Their commitment to quality is second to none, and their impressive roster of endorsers proves it. From George Lynch to Ron Wood to Stephen Carpenter, ESP makes guitars that today's guitar heroes use.
