ESP E-II Guitars for Players

E-II is where ESP's Tokyo workshop meets the working guitarist. It sits above LTD and below the Custom Shop, and the pitch is simple: premium woods, Gotoh and Floyd Rose hardware, and EMG or Seymour Duncan pickups in instruments meant to be played hard. LV Guitars stocks the line for players who want a serious stage guitar.

Pick the shape that fits your hands and your playing. Eclipse and Viper bodies suit heavy rhythm work and fast lead lines, the Arrow and M-II lean sharper and more aggressive, and the SN-III and ST offer a more familiar double-cut or bolt-on feel. Pickup choice shapes your tone: active EMGs for tight, high-gain clarity, Seymour Duncans for a more open, dynamic response. Locking and tuning hardware helps keep the guitar steady through a loud set.

Gigging players and collectors will both find something here, from black-on-black workhorses to flashy Tiger Eye Sunburst and Green Sparkle finishes. Left-handed models turn up too. Prices run from roughly $2,399 to $4,199, and B-Stock examples sometimes offer a way to get into the line for less.

ESP E-II Series Guitars - frequently asked questions

Where does the ESP E-II series sit compared to the LTD line and the ESP Custom Shop?

The ESP E-II series is the company's Japan-made professional line, positioned between the LTD range and the ESP Custom Shop. Guitars are built in Tokyo with premium woods, Gotoh and Floyd Rose hardware, and EMG or Seymour Duncan pickups, so it suits players stepping up to a pro-level instrument.

Which ESP E-II body style is best for hard rock and metal?

The Eclipse and Viper lean toward hard rock and metal, while the SN-III and ST cover more traditional bolt-on and double-cut territory. The series also includes Horizon, M-II and Arrow shapes plus signature models, so each body style gives you a different feel and character to compare.

Are left-handed and B-Stock ESP E-II guitars available?

Yes, left-handed options appear in the lineup, such as an Eclipse in Green Sparkle. B-Stock units are also part of the range: these open-box, discounted instruments are fully covered and give you another way into the series. Every guitar is set up and professionally packed, with free US shipping and 30-day returns.
