ESP E-II M-II Black Natural Burst Guitar B-Stock
Description
ESP E-II M-II Black Natural Burst Guitar B-Stock
The E-II M-II is built for stage work and long sets. Its thin U-contoured neck and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets across an ebony fingerboard deliver speed and comfort under pressure. The aggressive black burst aesthetic pairs with rock-solid engineering—locking hardware and a Floyd Rose bridge keep tuning rock-steady through hard playing. The B-stock designation reflects cosmetic variance only—all hardware and electronics function identically to new stock.
Playability & Feel
The three-piece maple neck with satin back finish and 305mm fingerboard radius plays fast and sits naturally in the hand across extended ranges. The 42mm locking nut and Floyd Rose Original double-locking bridge hold tuning tight even with aggressive dive-bombing and tremolo work. The thin U neck contour cuts fret access time without compromising strength—this is a gigging workhorse that won't let you down mid-show.
Tone & Electronics
Direct-mounted Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups with black Battleworn covers cut through live mixes with clarity and punch. Designed for modern rock and metal, these pickups deliver articulate highs and solid low-end definition. The passive electronics keep things simple and reliable: volume and tone controls with a push-pull coil-splitting function that expands your sonic range from the standard 3-way switch—no batteries, no complications.
