Finished in a sleek Black gloss, this hardtail shred machine pairs a streamlined aesthetic with black nickel hardware and ultra-precise Japanese construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt around a 45mm thick alder body, this M-II delivers a balanced tonal core with rich mids, tight lows, and sharp note definition. Its 3-piece hard maple neck utilizes a seamless neck-thru-body construction, offering infinite sustain and effortless, unrestricted access all the way up to the 24th fret. The hard maple fingerboard is framed by clean black binding, offset black acrylic block inlays, and Luminlay SGW-23L glow-in-the-dark side dots for easy navigation on dark stages. Shaped into ESP's ultra-fast Thin U neck profile across a 25.5\" (648mm) scale length, it features a 305mm radius, a carbon nut, and 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets for ultra-smooth bending and long-lasting durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSonically, this instrument is powered by a set of versatile active humbuckers: an EMG 66TW in the neck and an EMG 57TW in the bridge. These pickups combine the headroom and clarity of active design with rich, organic warmth. Built-in push\/pull coil-splitting on the volume and tone controls gives you independent single-coil capability for each pickup, delivering glassy, pristine cleans alongside high-gain saturation via the 3-way lever selector switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware appointments are purely professional grade, featuring a Hipshot fixed bridge (.125\") with a string-thru-body setup for maximum string energy transfer, sustain, and tuning stability. Backed up by Gotoh SG360-07 MG-T locking tuners and factory-strung with .009-.042 strings, this Original Series M-II stands as an elite heirloom-quality instrument for discerning guitarists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a brand new ESP Original Series M-II CTM NT in Black.
