Description
The mighty ESP Maverick is back! Originally produced in the early ‘90s, this curvy, high‑octane shred machine makes a triumphant return in the E‑II Series — lovingly crafted in Japan with premium woods, top‑flight hardware and pro‑grade electronics. It’s sleek, stupidly fast and absolutely primed to rocket your playing into the stratosphere.
Lightning-fast playability
If you’re chasing that effortless, silky playing feel, the E-II Maverick 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.
Seymour Duncan pickups
Loaded with a TB‑14 in the bridge and an SCR‑1 rail pickup in the neck, the E-II Maverick packs a seriously tasty tonal combo. The TB‑14 dishes out chunky low‑end, singing mids and enough bite to handle everything from modern rock riffage to molten lead lines. While the SCR‑1 delivers smooth, glassy single‑coil sparkle without the hum. Add in the push/pull tone knob to split the coils, and you’ve got a Swiss‑army‑knife level of versatility — perfect for players who want one guitar that can do the lot.
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.
