ESP E-II Horizon FR-II Tiger Eye Sunburst Lefty Guitar

This left-handed E-II Horizon FR-II is built for players who demand speed, precision, and absolute tuning reliability on stage. The neck-thru construction with a satin-finished three-piece maple neck and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets translates to fast, effortless movement across the board. The 305mm fingerboard radius and 42mm locking nut dial in the playability for technical runs and string-bending accuracy, while the Floyd Rose Original bridge locks in your tuning through aggressive tremolo abuse. Handcrafted in Tokyo, Japan, this guitar pairs professional-grade hardware with a stunning quilted maple top in Tiger Eye Sunburst finish over a resonant mahogany body—a stage-ready instrument that looks as good as it plays.

Playability & Build Quality

The neck-thru design with a three-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard gives you the sustain, clarity, and response that serious players live for. The fast, smooth playing surface cuts fatigue during long sets, while the satin-finished neck back lets your hand glide effortlessly through position changes. Gotoh locking tuners paired with the Floyd Rose Original bridge mean your tuning stays locked in—no hunting for tuning stability mid-song, no surprises after dynamic tremolo work. Built to endure the demands of the gig.

Tone & Electronics

The active EMG 66TW (neck) and EMG 57TW (bridge) pickups with brushed black chrome covers give you the range to nail everything from articulate, cutting cleans to saturated high-gain crunch, with coil-splitting via push-pull controls on volume and tone knobs for instant humbucker-to-single-coil switching when you need it. The mahogany body construction contributes warmth and resonance that sits perfectly in a mix, whether you're tracking or tearing through a room full of people.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the EMG 66TW and 57TW pickups, and can I switch between humbucker and single-coil modes?

The EMG 66TW in the neck position delivers articulate cleans and warm midrange, while the EMG 57TW bridge pickup focuses high-gain aggression and tight sustain. Both pickups include coil-split functionality via push-pull volume and tone controls, letting you switch instantly from full humbucker mode to single-coil character without bending down.

Is this guitar suitable for open-tuned or extended tremolo techniques?

Yes. The Floyd Rose Original bridge with 42mm locking nut and Gotoh locking tuners are engineered specifically for aggressive tremolo work and extreme pitch bends, holding tuning stability through extended play sessions and dynamic effects.

What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?

The E-II Horizon FR-II excels in metal, hard rock, and progressive contexts where technical speed, high-gain tone, and tuning stability are priorities. It's less suited to folk, traditional jazz, or acoustic-focused work due to its active electronics, fixed bridge, and aggressive tonal profile.

What comes in the box, and what are the neck and fretboard specs?

The guitar arrives with an ESP hardshell form-fit case, Elixir Nanoweb Super Light strings (.009–.042), and factory setup. The three-piece maple neck has a satin finish with an ebony fingerboard, 305mm radius, 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, and a Thin-U contour for ergonomic comfort across extended sessions.

How does the neck-thru construction affect tone and playability?

Neck-thru design maximizes sustain, tonal clarity, and body resonance by eliminating the neck-body joint and allowing vibrations to travel continuously through the instrument. The satin-finished three-piece maple neck back eliminates friction, making fast, fluid hand movement across the 24 extra-jumbo frets seamless for technical and lead work.
