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.
