ESP E-II Arrow NT, Black Silver Fade

Full Description

World-renowned EMG electronics

Pure rock sound. ESP have loaded their E-II Arrow with a pair of exhilarating EMG pickups. One of the names in the world of guitar electronics, the hot EMGs in this bad boy will ensure every note you play bursts with clarity.

At the neck, an EMG 85. This active humbucker has a particularly warm, beefy quality - meaning it's great for booming, bassy power chords and deep, surging riffs. But never fear. The Arrow hasn't just got rhythm - your lead playing will be more explosive than ever. An EMG 81 in the bridge position is loaded with uber-powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils. The result? Intense sound sharp enough to make every riff, lick, and solo slice through even the densest of mixes. Rhythm or lead, the Arrow has got you covered.

Fly up and down the scale

Play at breakneck speed. Because the ESP Arrow is the ultimate shredder's guitar. At every stage in the manufacturing process, ESP have equipped the Arrow's neck with a stack of features that make it perfect for soloing. And that all starts with a slick ebony fingerboard. Superbly smooth under your fingertips, it helps you to glide at pace from fret to fret. Plus, ebony is renowned for offering tremendous definition in every note you play - your lead lines have never sounded so precise.

There are 24 frets to play with - that means you've got two full octaves to explore in your playing. And they're X-jumbo size, so you've got an increased playing area that makes it easier to hit every note. Especially when you're playing at high speeds. Finally, a thin "U"-shaped neck profile sits comfortably in the palm of your hand, eliminating cramp and allowing you to play for longer. You could say this is the perfect guitar neck...

Total tuning stability

Dropping out of tune is just about the most annoying thing that can happen to a guitarist. Especially if it happens in the middle of a gig. So don't leave anything to chance when it comes to your tuning. The Arrow is fitted with Gotoh locking tuning machines. Keeping your strings firmly held in perfect tune, you can concentrate entirely on your playing without worrying about your pitch. Make sure every note is flawless.

Sharp style

This isn't a guitar you'll forget in a hurry. Its striking flying V body shape will stand out with its edgy, aggressive aesthetic. Shark tooth inlays spread up and down the neck bring even more spiky edge to an already brutal instrument. Everything about the Arrow screams all-out rock. A guitar that looks as powerful as it sounds.

Solid protection

The ESP Arrow is a guitar so good, you're unlikely to ever need another. So you need to make sure it's kept safe and sound. We've got you covered. It comes with an ESP fitted hardshell case at no extra cost. This will give your instrument maximum protection from the bumps and scrapes it'll encounter during life on the road. Complete security.
