Full Description
View Full DescriptionSeymour Duncan humbucking pickups
Rip through the mix in style. Seymour Duncan's huge line of humbuckers shares one common theme - they sound fantastic for rock music. The Custom 5 humbucker in the bridge of the ESP EC-II Horizon III is absolutely no exception. With a punishingly loud output, it's simply made for metal and heavy rock, pushing tube amps into pleasing distortion with ease, while maintaining a modern, scooped, yet natural tone. This is paired with an SD Jazz model in the bridge. Ideal for sweeping solos and crystal clear cleans, this pickup has a lower output, but with a smoother sound and a sparkling top end. Both pickups can be coil-split using the Horizon's push-pull knobs, putting an additional world of singing, single-coil goodness at your fingertips.
Quilted maple topped mahogany body
The E-II Horizon-III's body is crafted from mahogany and features a quilted maple top, enhancing the guitar's natural brightness and creating a unique aesthetic. The mahogany tonewood delivers a soft tone, with plenty of grind and bite to keep it well-balanced and create plenty of depth. The guitar's appealing high end and full, tight low end ensures the overall tonality remains thick and firm, offering plenty of dynamics to accommodate a variety of musical styles.
Maple neck & ebony fingerboard
The ESP E-II Horizon is equipped with a 3-piece maple neck and ebony fingerboard, delivering warm, bright tones with plenty of depth and dynamics. The maple offers roundness to the tone, providing bright characteristics and an excellent amount of sustain. The addition of an ebony fingerboard helps to tighten up the neck's tone, giving it a defined feel, excellent clarity, and a fast attack. The maple and ebony combination creates a sparkling, sizzling high end, a controlled bass response, and a snappy midrange with extra presence in the lower mids.
High-end hardware
The guitar is finished off with high-end hardware to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. Built in Germany, the world-class Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo bridge offers an enormous, yet reliable range of motion, while maintaining maximum resonance and sustain. The Gotoh locking tuners improve tuning stability and reduces string slippage, while the Dunlop straplocks protect against accidental strap release, ensuring players can deliver a powerful performance without worrying about dropping their guitar.
