2019年7月18日 · I've owned a few ESP's and E-II's now since I originally started this thread. I owned an E-II Horizon and a ESP Horizon Standard at the same time. I kept the E-II if that tells you anything. Quality was very much equal to the ESP and the E-II plays effortlessly. Actually, it's one of the best guitars I've owned in those regards.

2022年8月16日 · E-II Pros: Thru-neck construction XJ frets E-II Cons: Push pull coil spit (never felt a quality, rock solid feeling push pull knob ever) The strings touch the rear part of the TOM body due to high break angle to the string-thru ferrules The frets aren't stainless Not sure on the tone of the SD Custom 5 in the bridge

2022年12月10日 · Before I started buying ESP Custom Shops and I only had the E-II Horizon, I went and played 4 different Edwards Alexi Laihos thinking I pick up 2 of those Edwards instead of a Custom Shop Alexi Laiho and still have enough left over to …

2021年2月25日 · If they had communicated it a little better - ESP = custom, E-II = premium production, LTD = standard production - and had stencil and script font versions of the E-II logo to match ESP and LTD, then E-II would be getting a lot more love.

2022年12月15日 · Since 2013 and E-II, those stamps are gone and now there is only E-II for old Standard Series (production line guitars) and ESP for handmade Original/Custom Shop. Last edited: Dec 15, 2022 Reactions: AkiraSpectrum , Doppe1ganger and spawnofthesith

2022年7月3日 · New to the ESP E-II Series, the E-II SN-2 is a Japan-built supercharged guitar for musicians who demand high performance in the studio or on stage. Based on the famous ESP Snapper shape, the E-II SN-2 offers a classic bolt-on construction with an alder body and maple neck with ebony fingerboard...

2023年9月20日 · This one had an offset neck plate. You would think that being less rounded than a Fender American Ultra or Fender Am Pro II, the E-II ST-1 would be less comfortable to play than the fenders. The E-II is MORE comfortable for a very simple reason: the neck plate sits around the 18-19th fret whereas the strat sits around the 16th-17th fret.

2017年2月20日 · I own an LTD EC-1000 (SD pickups, Sperzels, Earvana nut) and a former bandmate an ESP E-II. I agree that the E-II is a step up in terms of fit and finish, but I would have never complained about the EC-1000 in comparing the two. TOTALLY agree with the differentiation between the EC-1000's grunt-power vs. the more articulate E-II sound.

2022年8月16日 · If you watch the whole video within context, he hesitates a lot in whole, repeats things, and this is just normal speech patterns (nerves can play a huge part). Also, he was the Artist Manager for ESP. You're taking something and putting your own context out of it. ESP has stated several times, E-II are 100% made in Japan at the ESP facility.

2022年5月7日 · I switched it to .09-.42 strings and set it up for me. I've heard lots of praise for the excellent quality of ESP guitars but this is my first experience with them. Fit and finish are perfect and the fretwork is incredible. I'm really liking the Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups and I love the feel of the neck. This definitely won't be my last ESP ...
