Description
Hailing from ESP’s Japan-based Custom Shop, the Original Horizon-II NT captures the time-honored ethos of premium craftsmanship that ESP’s master luthiers have unwaveringly delivered with every instrument to emerge since the company’s 1975 founding. This handbuilt and set-through 6-string offers the highest levels of sound-crafting support, sure to be at home with myriad shades of shredders, rockers, and metal players alike. Its lightweight mahogany body boasts an elegantly contoured top, adding to the unimpeded access its double-cut shape affords to all 24 frets that sprawl its resounding ebony fretboard. The 3-piece maple neck’s Slim-U profile facilitates lightning-fast fretwork and grants an almost supernatural level of speed yet maintains robust support in cooler hues of performance. Prefer more melodic and expressive styles? No problem: this ESP Original Horizon-II NT’s Gotoh Tune-o-matic bridge and set-through neck supply remarkable sustain that’s perfect for liquid bends and legato leads. Plus, ESP’s Custom Shop isn’t the only tailored tone-crafting name to pull out all the stops for this Horizon-II NT, as its dyad of Seymour Duncan humbuckers come straight from the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop. These hybrid haymakers weave coils of their iconic ’59, JB, and Jazz models into malleable machines teeming with musicality and unmatched distinction. Ideal for the guitarist who requires uncompromising playability and performance, the ESP Original Horizon-II NT is all but guaranteed to become your #1 axe.
