High-performance guitars don’t get much better than this! The ESP E-II Horizon FR-II is the ultimate supercharged S‑style machine, meticulously crafted in Japan using top‑shelf materials, hardware and electronics. It’s smooth, sleek, outrageously fast — and primed to help your riffs and solos slice through any mix with authority.

Lightning-fast playability

If you’re chasing that effortless, silky playing feel, the E-II Horizon FR-II absolutely delivers. Its ultra-comfortable Thin “U” neck profile sits perfectly in the hand, paired with a dark, luxurious Ebony fingerboard that feels as smooth as it looks. Add in XJ stainless steel frets for rock-solid durability and glassy bends, plus the slippery satin finish, and you’ll instantly know this thing is built for speed from the moment you pick it up.

Active EMG pickups

With an EMG 81 in the bridge and an EMG 89R in the neck, the ESP E-II Horizon FR-II is locked, loaded and ready for anything from tight modern metal to soaring leads. The 81 dishes out that iconic, razor-edged crunch with heaps of clarity, while the 89R gives you a rounder, more expressive voice — complete with split-coil capability via the push/pull volume knob for added versatility.

Floyd Rose Original tremolo

A guitar this quick needs a trem system that can keep up — and the Floyd Rose Original is the gold standard. Divebombs, flutters, wild squeals… whatever tricks you’ve got up your sleeve, this bridge holds tune like a champ. Its locking design means you can push it to the absolute limit and still come back perfectly in tune, gig after gig, track after track.

Key Features

  • Thin “U” neck profile: A super‑sleek carve that lets you rip around the fingerboard with zero resistance. It’s fast, comfy and built for serious shredding.
  • 24 XJ stainless steel frets: Jumbo feel for ultra‑smooth bends with superb durability. Your riffs and licks will sound crisp and alive for years!
  • EMG 81 & 89R pickups: A powerhouse combo that delivers crushing clarity on the bridge and velvety coil‑split versatility up front.
  • Floyd Rose Original tremolo: Dive‑bomb, flutter and squeal to your heart’s content — all while staying perfectly in tune.
  • Gotoh locking tuners: Lightning‑fast string changes and reliable tuning stability, even under the most aggressive playing.
  • ESP strap locks: Keeps your guitar securely strapped in during even the most energetic performances. No surprises, just confidence on stage.

More info about this Product

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Guitars

Guitars cover a wide range of instruments designed to suit different styles, techniques, and sounds, from acoustic and classical models to solid body, semi-hollow, and hollow electric designs. Factors like body shape, scale length, neck profile, string type, and pickups all influence how a guitar feels and responds, making each type suited to different players and musical approaches. Whether used for rhythm, lead, songwriting, or experimentation, guitars are expressive, versatile instruments that form the heart of countless genres and playing styles.

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Solid body electric guitars are built from a solid piece or pieces of wood, giving them excellent sustain, stability, and resistance to feedback at higher volumes. This construction makes them well suited to amplified playing across a wide range of styles, from clean and articulate tones to heavy, high-gain sounds. Their design allows pickups and hardware to play a major role in shaping tone, while the solid body provides a consistent, reliable feel. Solid body electric guitars are valued for their durability, versatility, and ability to perform confidently on stage and in the studio.
