Player’s Perspective
Music Store Live is proud to offer up this ESP USA Horizon-II guitar finished in a cool purple sparkle flake finish.
This is an excellent way to get some of the best craftsmanship ESP has to offer in an American-made guitar that is absolutely shred-ready in every way. The Horizon-II is an aggressive and modern design that takes no prisoners in playability or tone. From the top down the guitar is built impeccably. The fretwork allows for nice low action and the bridge gives you seemingly infinite sustain along with immaculate intonation. The Seymour Duncan pickups in this one are searing hot and ready to melt faces. The Sentient and Pegasus combo is a classic for shredders and metal guys but they are still considered medium output among Duncan’s offerings. It stands up to a ton of heavy game without losing its definition and articulation but can also clean up nicely, too, making it a really versatile set.
The neck is thin and lightning-fast while the fretwork is done with pinpoint accuracy. It’s thin from front to back but yet doesn’t feel like a toothpick in your hands. Upper fret access is scarily easy and just tempting you to utilize all of the high notes you’ve got. It’s a neck designed for a shredder but that will still feel comfortable when you’re trying to grab onto some chord shapes down low, or something like that.
This is a guitar that’s built to rock and to make you sound better doing so. It is primed and ready to let loose!
Manufacturer’s Description
Crafted at our ESP USA facility in Southern California, the USA Horizon-II gives you a premium-quality version of the ESP Horizon with a wide variety of personalization options. It pairs a carved-topped mahogany body with a set-thru three-piece maple neck at 25.5” scale, thin U-shaped for comfort and speed, and includes an ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo Jescar stainless steel frets and abalone offset block inlays. Its neck and headstock are all fully bound. Like other ESP USA models, the USA Horizon-II is available with optional flamed maple and quilted maple tops and your choice of dozens of gloss and satin translucent finishes to allow the figured wood grain to be highlighted (and plain maple caps for solid color finishes).
We only use the finest components with ESP USA guitar models, and the USA Horizon-II features Sperzel Trim-Lok tuners, a TonePros locking TOM bridge with a string-thru-body design for excellent sustain and resonance, Dunlop strap locks, and a graphite nut. This one comes with Seymour Duncan pickups. The USA Horizon-II includes a high-quality ESP USA form-fitting hardshell case.
FEATURES
Graphite Neck Reinforcement Bars: Get maximum strength and stability from your guitar’s neck, with higher long-term reliability. All ESP USA models are made with two high-strength bars of carbon fiber.
Carved Top w/ Natural Masked Binding: Over a half-inch of beautifully figured maple is carved to our ESP USA Horizon contours, allowing for the natural masked binding to highlight the exquisite top.
Set Thru Neck Joint: ESP USA models that include a set-thru neck joint offer the benefits of classic set-neck construction, but with a modern look and feel that allows for smooth, fast and comfortable access to the guitar’s upper registers.
SEYMOUR DUNCAN PICKUPS
The Pegasus/Sentient medium output humbucker pickup set offers progressive players the ultimate palette of modern metal tones. The Pegasus bridge was originally designed for extended range instruments. However, 6 string players immediately demanded we offer a version to call their own. It incorporates an alnico 5 bar magnet and custom winding specs. The goal was to deliver a warm, balanced, responsive, and lush tone for progressive metal. It’s a harmonically rich pickup with a prominent midrange and a focused low end. The high resonant peak makes for a sparkly top end and an incredible “bloom” on chords in high-gain situations. The responsive and accurate pick attack ensures that you will cut through any live mix and will have tight-tracking transients in a studio environment. Because the Pegasus is a moderate output pickup, it works as well for clean tones as it does for distorted tones.
The Sentient neck delivers a balanced, versatile tone that fits right between the ’59 model and the Jazz neck pickup. You’ll get pristine cleans and fluid leads under high gain. The Sentient is a very articulate vintage output pickup with great dynamic response and a wide harmonic range. It works great for low tunings in all humbucker-equipped guitars.
