ESP E-II Arrow Black Silver Fade Electric Guitar w/Case B-Stock
The E-II Arrow cuts through on stage with aggressive playability built on neck-thru-body construction and a thin U-shaped maple neck engineered for speed and comfort through long sets. This Japan-made instrument pairs a lightweight alder body with premium hardware and active electronics, handling everything from high-gain modern styles to technical passages without breaking a sweat. The distinctive arrow-shaped design backs up its striking visual presence with real performance chops.
Playability & Construction
Neck-thru-body design with a 3-piece maple neck and thin U contour means fast access across the fretboard and rock-solid sustain on a 25.5" scale. The ebony fingerboard with 305mm radius handles both open chording and aggressive bending naturally, while 24 extra-jumbo frets keep your fingers from tiring on speed runs and deliver crisp definition for lead lines that cut through the mix.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG 85 neck pickup and EMG 81 bridge pickup pairing delivers the punch and articulation that sits right in modern rock and metal—high output that reads clearly in a full band mix, backed by active circuitry and a straightforward volume/toggle switch that stays responsive under stage lights. A Floyd Rose Original bridge locks in tuning and handles tremolo-driven textures without drift.
