ESP E-II Horizon NT-II: High playability thanks to full-length neck
As a modern electric guitar for rock and metal, the ESP E-II Horizon NT-II naturally offers first-class playing comfort. This is thanks to the full-length, three-piece maple neck, whose Thin-U profile makes even the most complex riffs and virtuoso solos almost play themselves. To ensure that orientation is not lost, chic offset block inlays mark the positions on the ebony fingerboard. Another visual highlight is the cloud maple top on the mahogany body wings.
Active EMG pickups for tight sounds
The pickups on the E-II Horizon NT-II are two active EMG humbuckers with elegant Metalworks caps. With its combination of Alnico magnets and steel pole pieces, the EMG 57TW on the bridge delivers a powerful sound that gives riffs and solos enormous punch with its high mid-range presence. The EMG 66TW on the neck, on the other hand, impresses with its warm yet transparent sound, which is perfect for singing melodies and glassy clean sounds. Both pickups also impress with their particularly organic dynamics, which are in no way inferior to passive pickups. The EMG pickup can also be split via push-pull switches in the volume and tone controls, so that bell-clear single-coil sounds expand the sound spectrum.
First-class Hardware from Gotoh
In addition, the E-II Horizon NT-II from ESP offers first-class hardware equipment from Gotoh. A Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge is used on the body, which guarantees perfect intonation and optimum string action. At the same time, the strings, which are guided through the body behind the bridge, promise high contact pressure on the string riders, which supports the fast response of the electric guitar. From the bridge, the strings with a scale length of 25.5" (648 mm) are guided towards the classic ESP Pointed Headstock, on which Gotoh MG-T locking tuners promise precise tuning and fast string changes.
