ESP E-II M-II QM in Black Natural Burst with Bare Knuckle Pickups

Introducing the E-II M-IIQM by ESP Guitars, this one in their Black Natural Burst Finish, with Bare Knuckle Pickups.

Formerly known as “ESP Standard”, ESP's E-II instruments are made in Japan at the ESP factory.

With its quilt top, beautiful translucent finish, and gold hardware accents, the new E-II M-II is one of the most distinctively impressive guitars ever to bear the E-II name. It features set-thru construction at 25.5” scale for fast and easy access to the highest frets.

The alder body is topped with figured quilted maple top for an elegant look.

The three-piece maple neck is satin-finished on the back for the ultimate in smooth playing feel, and the ebony fingerboard features pearloid offset block inlays and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets.

Another beautiful element of the design is the natural masked binding on the body and a white fully bound neck and matching-finish headstock.

For hardware it features top-tier components, like gold hardware, a Floyd Rose Original double-locking bridge, Gotoh locking tuners, and ESP strap locks.

For electronics this outstanding guitar also features a set of direct-mounted Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups with black Battleworn covers and gold bolts, offering accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing, and delivering a crushing midrange and precise high-end articulation. A push-pull tone control allows for coil splitting to expand the range of tones it offers.

Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case for gig-ready protection.
