B-Stock Condition Information
This guitar is classified as B-Stock. It may exhibit minor cosmetic blemishes such as small finish imperfections, light surface marks, or minor handling wear. These cosmetic issues do not affect structural integrity, tone, or playability. This is a great opportunity to own a premium Japanese-made ESP E-II at a more accessible price.
Premium Construction & Materials
Built with set-thru construction and a 25.5” scale length, the E-II M-II offers excellent sustain and effortless upper-fret access. The alder body provides balanced tonal response, while the burled maple top adds striking visual depth under the translucent Mercury Blue Burst finish.
The 3-piece maple neck features a smooth satin finish for fast playability and a comfortable Thin U contour. An ebony fingerboard with pearloid offset block inlays and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets ensures durability, precision, and smooth bending.
Hipshot Bridge & Bare Knuckle Aftermath Pickups
The Hipshot fixed bridge with string-thru-body design enhances sustain, tuning stability, and tight response — ideal for articulate rhythm work and precise lead playing.
A pair of direct-mounted Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups (Black Battleworn covers) deliver accelerated bass response for ultra-fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing, along with crushing mids and razor-sharp high-end articulation. A push-pull tone control enables coil splitting for expanded tonal versatility.
