Product Description

Formerly known as the "ESP Standard" series, ESP's E-II instruments are expertly-crafted in Japan. No matter who you are and what kind of music you make, the E-II Viper in See Thru Black Cherry is a guitar you've always wanted. It has the asymmetrical double-horned body you love, but with modern enhancements that make it ideal for all high-performance music styles.

Built at 24.75" scale with a set-thru construction for smooth access to the highest frets, the E-II Viper also boasts a Mahogany body and neck with a satin-finished back for extreme speed and fluidity. Its Ebony fingerboard features pearloid ESP flag inlays and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, and is fully-bound in white along with the headstock. This guitar features design details like a rich translucent finish, a multi-ply black brushed fingerboard, and complementary black hardware.

Pro components on the E-II Viper include Gotoh locking tuners, a Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece, and a bone nut. Its active pickups are a set of highly-versatile Fishman Open Core Classic humbuckers with black rings and push/pull controls on the tone and volume knobs that select between a modern high-output tone, a vintage tone, and a single-coil voice. Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case.

Key Features

  • Mahogany Body — Mahogany is a rich-sounding tonewood that gives the instrument a warm mid-range quality.
  • Set-Thru Construction — Yields massive sustain and enables smooth, unhindered access to the higher frets; especially with the contoured heel.
  • Thin "U" Neck Profile — Lean shape is suited for performance-minded players who prioritise both comfort and speed.
  • Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, featuring a 12" radius and 22 frets.
  • X-Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets — Resistant to corrosion for life-long performance. Wide and tall fret-wire provides a quick response and effortless articulation when playing chords or single notes.
  • Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Pickups — These versatile multi-voice humbuckers serve up a host of inspiring tones. Voice 1 emulates a vintage "PAF" humbucker, Voice 2 is clear with a vocal mid-range, and Voice 3 harnesses the sound of a traditional single-coil.
  • Gotoh Locking Tuners — Make string changes fast and simple, so you can spend more time playing!
