ESP E-II SN-3 Tiger Eye Sunburst ESP

Formerly known as “ESP Standard”, ESP E-II instruments are made in Japan at the ESP factory. The E-II SN-III HT is a new twist on a traditional design, with a set of components and design features that places it heads and tails above other so-called high performance guitars. Using bolt-on construction at 25.5” scale, this guitar features an alder body with flamed maple top in an amazing translucent Tiger Eye Sunburst finish that allows the beauty of the figured wood grain to show through. Its three-piece maple neck has a satin-finished back for extreme speed and fluidity. You get a reverse headstock that provides higher tension on the low strings for articulate low notes, lines, and chords. The ebony fingerboard features offset mother-of-pearl dot inlays, and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, with scalloping from frets 15-22. The E-II SN-III HT also offers the killer look of a brushed black pickguard, and natural masked body binding. High-end components on this guitar include a Hipshot hardtail bridge, Gotoh locking tuners, and ESP strap locks. Its versatile tones, which make it great for every music style from progressive metal to jazz fusion, are driven by an H/S/S configuration of a Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker active pickup with black nickel cover in the neck, and two Fishman Fluence Single Width pickups in the neck and middle positions. A second voicing option is accessed with a push-pull control on the tone knob. Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case.
