Formerly called “ESP Standard”, all ESP E-II instruments are created at ESP factory in Tokyo, Japan, and are designed for professional players who accept no compromises in tone, feel, or reliability for their guitars and basses. The E-II EX NT is a killer guitar with a bold and angular design for musicians who like to make a statement from the moment they pull their guitar from the case. It features set-thru construction of a mahogany body and mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard, 22 extra-jumbo frets, and a satin finish on the back for super smooth playability. The E-II EX NT includes premier-quality components like a bone nut, Gotoh locking tuners, a Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece, and ESP strap locks, along with a set of EMG 60 and EMG 81 pickups in Brushed Black Chrome.
