ESP E-II Horizon HT-II Electric Guitar - Granite Sparkle
The ESP E-II Horizon HT-II is a Japan-built, neck-thru electric guitar made for players who demand modern tone and effortless playability, now in stock at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls. Fishman Fluence Modern pickups deliver three voices per pickup, from tight, aggressive high-gain to clear, open cleans. It’s a pro-level instrument for touring, recording, and serious home players.
Product Overview
The E-II series, formerly ESP’s Standard Series, is built by skilled craftsmen at ESP’s factory in Japan. This Horizon has an alder body wrapped in a Granite Sparkle finish that catches the light on stage, contrasted by black hardware. It weighs a comfortable 7.5 lbs.
Neck-thru construction runs the 3-piece maple neck through the full length of the body for long sustain and smooth upper-fret access. The Thin U neck profile pairs with an ebony fingerboard, a 12" (305mm) radius, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on a 25.5" scale. A 42mm bone nut and Gotoh locking tuners keep tuning steady.
The bridge position has a Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbucker, and the neck has the Alnico version for a warmer, smoother voice. Pull the tone knob for Voice 2 or the volume knob for Voice 3, giving you a wide range of tones from one guitar. A Hipshot fixed bridge with string-thru-body adds resonance and rock-solid tuning stability.
Ideal For
- Metal and progressive players who need tight low end and crisp high-gain articulation
- Shredders who want neck-thru upper-fret access and extra-jumbo stainless frets
- Touring and session guitarists needing several distinct voices from one reliable guitar
- Players stepping up from import models to a Japan-made professional instrument
- Guitarists searching for the best neck-thru guitar with Fishman Fluence pickups
Key Features
Neck-Thru-Body Construction
The one-piece neck-and-body core boosts sustain and resonance. It also allows a smooth heel for easy reach to the 24th fret.
Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Pickups
A ceramic bridge and alnico neck humbucker give you focused aggression and warm, singing leads. Push-pull volume and tone controls switch between three voicings.
Thin U Neck and Ebony Fingerboard
The Thin U profile is fast and comfortable for technical playing. Ebony gives each note a tight, defined attack.
Stainless Steel Extra-Jumbo Frets
Stainless frets feel slick for bends and legato, and they resist wear far longer than nickel. The 24 extra-jumbo frets make fast runs easier.
Hipshot Fixed Bridge and Gotoh Locking Tuners
The string-thru Hipshot hardtail improves sustain and tuning stability. Gotoh locking tuners speed up string changes and hold pitch under heavy playing.
