Description

Formerly known as the "ESP Standard" series, ESP's E-II instruments are expertly-crafted in Japan. With the E-II M-II in Mercury Blueburst, you're getting a powerhouse of an electric guitar that's ready to impress — both visually and sonically.

This instrument features a set-thru construction at a 25.5" scale for fast and easy access to the highest frets. Its Alder body boasts a Burled Maple top with figured wood grain and knots that look incredible under its translucent finish. Its 3-piece Maple neck is satin-finished on the back for the ultimate in smooth playing feel, while its Ebony fingerboard features pearloid offset block inlays and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. White binding accents the guitar's top, headstock, and neck.

The ESP E-II M-II in Mercury Blueburst offers a set of premium-quality components like a Hipshot hardtail bridge with string-thru-body, Gotoh locking tuners, a bone nut, and ESP strap locks. This outstanding guitar also sports a set of direct-mounted Bare Knuckle Aftermath active pickups with black "Battleworn" covers, and a push/pull tone control that allows for coil splitting. Includes ESP deluxe hardshell case.

Key Features

  • Alder Body — Timeless tonewood choice synonymous with bolt-on electric guitars. Provides a balanced tonal foundation with tight lows, bold mids and singing highs. Comes adorned with a beautiful Burled Maple top!
  • Set-Thru Construction — Yields massive sustain and enables smooth, unhindered access to the higher frets; especially with the contoured heel.
  • 3-Piece Maple Neck — Layered neck construction improves strength for exceptional tuning stability. Maple timber adds brightness into the sonic mix for a snappier note attack.
  • Thin "U" Neck Profile — Lean shape is suited for performance-minded players who prioritise both comfort and speed.
  • Ebony Fingerboard — Dark and silky material, featuring a 12" radius and 24 frets.

  • Bare Knuckle Aftermath Pickups — The Aftermath humbucker set is perfect for the modern metal guitarist, with accelerated bass response for exceptionally fast tracking of high-speed staccato riffing. These pickups have a crushing mid-range and precise high-end articulation.
  • Bone Nut — Traditional, low-friction material minimises unwanted tuning slips and enhances sustain.
  • Gotoh Locking Tuners — Guarantee superior tuning stability and make string changes fast and simple!
