Alder is favoured by most players for its incredibly balanced tone, offering the perfect dynamic range suitable for most musical styles. The alder body is perfect for a variety of playing styles as its excellent sustain and resonance ensures each note is heard. Its bright, sizzling highs, rounded lows, and beefy midrange sets up the foundation of the guitar's overall tonality, allowing players to achieve the perfect sound for most situations. The body also features a contoured design, allowing the guitar to hug the player and deliver an incredibly comfortable performance.
The ESP E-II Guitar is equipped with a 3-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard, delivering warm, bright tones with plenty of depth and dynamics. The maple offers roundness to the tone, providing bright characteristics and an excellent amount of sustain. The addition of an ebony fingerboard helps to tighten up the neck’s tone, giving it a defined feel, excellent clarity, and a fast attack. The maple and ebony combination creates a sparkling, sizzling high end, a muscular controlled bass response, and a snappy midrange with extra presence in the lower mids.
The ESP E-II M-II wields a single powerful EMG 81 humbucking pickup, providing an incredibly punchy and thick tonality suitable for delivering destructive solos and licks. Constructed from a close aperture coil and featuring a ceramic magnet, the iconic EMG 81 humbucking pickup provides advanced detail and a truly meaty tone. EMG pickups are favoured by many professional musicians due to their unbeatable tone, active circuitry, high output and low noise.
The guitar is finished off with a range of high-end components to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. The string-through-body Gotoh tune-o-matic bridge offers incredible string stability, and optimises the transfer of string vibration for an enhanced sustain and resonance. The Gotoh locking tuners improve tuning stability and reduces string slippage, while the Schaller straplocks protect against accidental strap release, ensuring players can deliver a powerful performance without worrying about dropping their guitar.
