Description
ESP LTD JM-II Josh Middleton Guitar Black Shadow Burst B-Stock
The JM-II delivers an extra-thin u-shaped neck that sits effortlessly in hand, paired with a 350mm fingerboard radius and 24 stainless steel extra-jumbo frets designed for rapid, precise execution. Built in collaboration with Josh Middleton of Sylosis and Architects, this signature model prioritizes the speed and stability demanded by progressive metal and metalcore players. The bolt-on alder body with quilted maple top balances resonance and clarity, while roasted maple construction ensures neck stability through relentless playing.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece roasted maple neck in an extra-thin u-shaped profile provides exceptional comfort and minimal hand fatigue during extended sessions. A 42mm molded nut width and 350mm fingerboard radius on the Macassar ebony board create an ergonomic platform for fast melodic work and rhythm precision across all 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker pickups—alnico in the neck and ceramic in the bridge—deliver versatile voicing options via push-pull tone control, covering everything from aggressive distortion to articulate cleans. The active electronics layout (Volume/Tone with Push/Pull/Toggle Switch) gives you instant access to tonal variation without sacrificing simplicity in operation.
