ESP E-II M-II FM STBLK Flamed Maple See-Thru Black Electric Guitar
The E-II M-II is built for gigging musicians and studio players who need an instrument that stays in tune under pressure and keeps up with demanding set lists. Neck-thru construction and a thin U neck profile make this guitar feel locked in your hands—the through-body design eliminates dead spots up the fretboard while pumping tone straight through the body for maximum sustain and resonance. The See Through Black finish showcases the flamed maple top with elegant grain detail, delivering the visual presence a stage player needs without sacrificing durability or road reliability.
Playability & Ergonomics
The neck-thru architecture creates seamless access all the way to the 24th fret—no compromise zone on this design. Paired with a thin U neck profile, 12" fretboard radius, and 24 XJ extra-jumbo frets, this setup lets you move across the board fast and keep action where you like it without hand cramp creeping in on hour three of a long night. The 42mm locking nut combined with Gotoh locking tuners locks your pitch down solid—essential for anyone doing dive bombs, stays, or just needing rock-solid tuning across an entire set with no drift.
Electronics & Hardware
Dual EMG 81 active pickups give you punchy, defined tone with separation that cuts through a full band mix and stays articulate even when pushed hard. The Floyd Rose Original bridge is the gold standard for whammy control and precise intonation—intuitive to dial in and built to last through seasons of touring. Black hardware throughout resists corrosion and tarnish from road wear and sweat, keeping the instrument looking road-ready and sounding consistent night after night.
