Description
ESP E-II Horizon FR-7 BLK Floyd Rose 7-String Black Electric Guitar B-Stock
The E-II Horizon FR-7 is engineered for extended-range recording and studio production. Its thin U neck contour and 25.5" scale enable precise articulation across all seven strings, critical for capturing clean takes in the box or tracking layered parts. The ebony fingerboard and extra-jumbo frets paired with the Floyd Rose Original bridge allow you to execute pitch bends and detuning moves in real time without intonation drift—essential for modern production workflows that demand both tonal aggression and technical stability in a single take.
Recording & Session Performance
The three-piece maple neck with thin U contour and alder body create a resonant, lightweight platform that translates well through audio interfaces and stays sonically focused during overdub sessions. The 305mm fingerboard radius and 24 XJ extra-jumbo frets support both precise single-note passages and expressive vibrato technique without hand fatigue during long tracking days. The 48mm locking nut width maintains stable tuning across seven strings during rapid session adjustments, while Gotoh locking tuners eliminate the need for retuning between takes.
Tonal Character & Studio Electronics
EMG 707 active pickups at neck and bridge positions deliver high-output, articulate tones with excellent clarity and definition across the full seven-string range, paired with natural rejection of ground noise and hum—critical in recording environments. The active circuit provides transparent gain staging and voice flexibility for blending takes in the mix or adjusting recorded tone without re-tracking.
