Full Description
The ESP USA V-II FR in Black Sparkle represents the pinnacle of ESP’s American Custom Shop craftsmanship — an uncompromising high-performance metal machine built for precision, speed, and aggressive tonal authority. With its iconic V silhouette, premium tonewoods, and elite hardware selection, this instrument delivers stage dominance with boutique-level refinement.
A neck-thru construction pairs mahogany body wings with a mahogany top, producing massive sustain, tight low-end response, and rich harmonic complexity. The striking Black Sparkle finish amplifies the V-II’s commanding visual presence while maintaining the refined feel expected from ESP USA instruments.
The 3-piece maple neck features ESP’s Extra Thin “U” profile, offering exceptional speed and comfort for technical playing styles. Combined with a smooth ebony fretboard, 24 Jescar stainless steel extra-jumbo frets, and a fast 305mm radius, the V-II FR is built for effortless lead work, precise rhythm articulation, and extended performance durability.
Loaded with a Seymour Duncan Custom 14 pickup set, this guitar delivers powerful modern output with clarity and definition. The dual volume controls allow precise blending between pickups, while the 3-way toggle switch provides immediate tonal flexibility ranging from tight, articulate rhythm tones to soaring lead saturation.
A Floyd Rose Original tremolo system ensures expressive pitch control with rock-solid tuning stability, supported by Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners and Dunlop Straplok buttons for professional-grade reliability both on stage and in the studio.
This is a true ESP USA build — crafted without compromise for players who demand elite performance, precision engineering, and unmistakable presence.
Condition: This is a brand new ESP USA V-II FR in Black Sparkle. It includes ESP’s USA Form Fit case and full manufacturer warranty. It also comes equipped with our Pro-Tech Setup, ensuring the guitar arrives ready to play straight out of the case. Drop Dee Guitars is an authorized ESP dealer.

- Neck adjustment for proper relief
- Action setup for clean, buzz-free playability
- Intonation across all frets

- Full electronics inspection and play-test

I must say, I've had enough of mass sellers like SweetWater with their extra fees for everything that should be included as part of a guitar sale. Drop Dee Guitars exceeded my expectations by far with my order, ensuring that my instrument was a joy to play straight out of the box. I eagerly anticipate future business with this store. They are truly a shining star! Excellent communication throughout the pre-sale and after-sale as well. Thank you!
