The ESP E-II Horizon NT-II is a straight-ahead, no-filler axe that puts rocking tone in your hands. Featuring a resonant mahogany body with a quilted maple top, the E-II also has two EMG pickups that deliver stellar rock tone. The maple neck-through-body with ebony fingerboard is another highlight on the E-II, providing incredible feel and response and epic sustain. And the 25.5" scale length is perfect for down-tuned styles ? a feature we really love here at Sweetwater.





Rocking pickup duo





The pair of EMG active pickups in the E-II has become a legendary duo of humbucking pickups in rock. With Alnico V magnets, these pickups deliver true PAF tone ? warm, aggressive, and tonally balanced. The 57 in the bridge has steel pole pieces that bring out the midrange and expansive lows, while the ceramic pole pieces of the 66 bring out crisp treble. And with a 3-way toggle and master volume and tone controls, you can dial in the subtle tweaks in tone that fit your style.





ESP’s Horizon body style is built to rock





When you want to rock, you can count on ESP’s Horizon body style for exceptional sustain and tone-packed performance. The neck-through-body construction and Gotoh Tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece give the E-II Horizon incredible sustain while enhancing articulation and clarity. The 25.5" scale length is perfect for down-tuned playing, giving you a powerful foundation for a wide range of contemporary music styles, while the thin “U” neck with its smooth ebony fingerboard is instantly playable and responsive.
