ESP E-II SN-III HT Electric Guitar in Tiger Eye Sunburst

Formerly known as the "ESP Standard" series, ESP's E-II instruments are expertly-crafted in Japan. The E-II SN-III HT is a new twist on a traditional design, with a set of components and features that make it a high performance workhorse!

Using a bolt-on construction at a 25.5" scale, this instrument features an Alder body with flamed Maple top in an amazing translucent Tiger Eye Sunburst finish that allows the beauty of the figured wood grain to shine through. Its 3-piece Maple neck has a satin-finished back for extreme speed and fluidity, and you also get a reverse headstock that provides higher tension on the low strings for articulate low notes, lines, and chords. The Ebony fingerboard features offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets with scalloping from frets 15-22.

The ESP E-II SN-III HT also offers the killer look of a brushed black pickguard, and natural masked body binding. High-end components on this guitar include a Hipshot hardtail bridge, Gotoh locking tuners, and ESP strap locks. Its versatile tones, which make it great for every music style from progressive metal to jazz fusion, are driven by an H/S/S configuration of a Fishman Fluence Modern humbucker active pickup with black nickel cover in the bridge, and two Fishman Fluence Single Width pickups in the neck and middle positions. A second voicing option is accessed with a push/pull switch on the tone knob. Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case.
