Sound & Tone
The alder body with Buckeye burl maple top and bolt-on maple neck give this SN-2 a lively, quick-responding attack, while the ebony fingerboard and 25.5" scale keep note definition tight and the low end firm. Bare Knuckle Aftermath Battleworn pickups push articulate highs and punchy mids, favoring aggressive riffing, tight palm-muted rhythm work, and cutting lead lines, though the master tone and 3-way switch also let it sit back for cleaner, ambient textures. With a Floyd Rose Original and light .009–.042 strings, it leans toward modern metal, hard rock, and technical lead playing where dive bombs and sustained vibrato are part of the vocabulary.
ESP E-II SN-2 Lefty Guitar in Blue Natural Fade
This left-handed ESP E-II SN-2 combines a sleek, fast neck profile with a buttery-smooth ebony fingerboard that captures both precision and expressiveness in the studio. The thin U neck contour and 25.5" scale length deliver the kind of comfort that sustains extended tracking and overdub sessions without fatigue. Finished in striking blue natural fade over Buckeye burl maple, it's a pro-grade instrument built in Japan with the hardware and electronics to match its refined playability and recording presence.
Tracking & Performance
The thin U neck contour pairs with a 305mm fingerboard radius and 22 frets to enable fast, clean position changes and articulate lead articulation across the full fretboard during sessions. A 42mm nut width and ebony fingerboard provide the tactile precision and consistency needed for repeatable takes and layered arrangements, while bolt-on construction keeps the instrument responsive and lively in the mix.
Tone & Recording Capabilities
Bare Knuckle Aftermath Battleworn pickups deliver articulate highs and punchy mids with the clarity needed to cut through dense arrangements and sit well in both aggressive riff tracks and ambient soundscapes. Control comes via master volume and master tone knobs with a 3-way lever pickup selector, all wired for straightforward, reliable operation; the Floyd Rose Original bridge extends sustain and enables expressive vibrato techniques that translate effectively on tape.
