The ESP E-II Horizon FR-II in stunning See Thru Black Cherry Sunburst is a professional-grade instrument built for serious recording and live performance. Crafted at ESP’s Tokyo, Japan factory, the E-II series (formerly ESP Standard) is designed for players who demand uncompromising tone, precision, and reliability.

B-Stock Condition Information

This guitar is classified as B-Stock, meaning it may have minor cosmetic blemishes such as light finish imperfections, small dings, or surface marks. These cosmetic variances do not affect playability, tone, or structural integrity. B-Stock instruments offer the same professional performance at a more accessible value.

Neck-Thru Construction & Premium Tonewoods

The neck-thru-body construction provides exceptional sustain, resonance, and upper-fret access. A mahogany body is topped with a beautifully arched quilted maple top, delivering warmth, clarity, and striking visual depth. The 3-piece maple neck features a smooth satin finish on the back for effortless playability.

Ebony Fingerboard & Stainless Steel Frets

A 305mm radius ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets ensures durability, smooth bends, and precision articulation. Offset block inlays add a refined, modern aesthetic to this high-performance instrument.

Floyd Rose & EMG 57TW / 66TW Pickups

The Floyd Rose Original bridge allows expressive dive bombs and pitch effects while maintaining tuning stability. Paired with Gotoh locking tuners and ESP strap locks, the Horizon FR-II is built for demanding stage use.

The guitar is loaded with EMG 66TW (neck) and EMG 57TW (bridge) active pickups in Brushed Black Chrome. Both feature push-pull coil splitting (pull volume for neck split, pull tone for bridge split), offering everything from thick humbucker punch to articulate single-coil-style clarity.
