The ESP E-II SN-III is a seriously slick, super-versatile spin on the classic S‑style guitar. Built in Japan with top-tier woods, rock‑solid hardware and pro-level electronics, this thing is ready to kick your playing into high gear!

Lightning-fast playability

If you’re chasing that effortless, silky playing feel, the E-II SN-III 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

With a high‑output TB‑15 Alternative 8 bridge humbucker for aggressive, articulate punch and STK‑S6 stacked single‑coils delivering noiseless clarity in the middle and neck positions, this guitar can do it all. A versatile 5‑way selector unlocks everything from tight, modern crunch to shimmering single‑coil sparkle, while the push/pull tone knob adds even more tonal flexibility — letting you tap into alternate voicings on the fly for dynamic shifts mid‑song.

ESP Flicker-III tremolo

With its improved ‘Free Move System’ hinge, this trem delivers smooth, torque‑rich action with excellent tuning recovery. A brass block comes as standard for enhanced sustain, while the high‑strength stainless‑steel arm and lightweight aluminium cap keep the bar stable and responsive.

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.
