ESP E-II M-II-7 NT Hipshot 7 String, Dark Brown Natural Burst

Full Description

Spalted Maple Topped Mahogany Body

The E-II M-II NT Hipshot Guitar features a body crafted from mahogany, topped with beautiful spalted maple to enhance the guitar's natural brightness and creating a unique aesthetic. The mahogany tonewood delivers a soft sonic character, with plenty of grind and bite to keep it well-balanced and create plenty of depth. The guitar’s appealing high end and full, tight low end ensures the overall tonality remains thick and firm, offering plenty of dynamics to accommodate a variety of musical styles.

Maple Neck & Ebony Fingerboard

This high-quality ESP E-II M-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 provides the overall tone with a round quality, creating bright characteristics and an excellent amount of sustain. Its thin U-shaped profile is perfect for speed demons, allowing players to easily reach across the entire fingerboard without losing any comfort. 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.

Bare Knuckle Warpig Pickups

The ESP E-II features a set of sonically destructive Bare Knuckle Warpig humbuckers, offering the ultimate blend of brutality and clarity with an extremely high output. Originally conceived as an all-out extreme metal humbucker, the Warpig’s raw, guttural tones and smooth high-end delivers an incredibly dark and saturated soundscape, capable of accommodating even Jazz and Fusion musical genres. Both pickups feature a twin screw design and ceramic magnets, offering an even controlled treble response which work well with intense levels of gain, a monstrous bass and mids response, a smooth midsection, and a sharp high-end cut.

String-Through-Body Hipshot Bridge

The Hipshot bridge provides players with an incredible intonation, allowing each string to vibrate freely while remaining secure. Its hand polished construction ensures players receive a smooth, comfortable feel while playing, and the stainless-steel saddles feature a crisp string relief edge to help eliminate any dull tones. The string-through-body construction optimises the transfer of vibrations from the strings to the body, improving this ESP’s overall sustain and resonance.

Beautiful High-End Components

The ESP E-II M-II is finished off with a range of high-end components to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. 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.
