All ESP Original Series instruments are hand-crafted by the world-renowned expert luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan. Designed for serious players in all genres of music who want one of the best guitars ever made, the ESP Horizon-I offers neck-thru-body construction for outstanding sustain and incredibly smooth, fast, unobstructed access to the highest frets. Pairing a comfortable alder body to a thin U-shaped 3-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard that features offset abalone/mother-of-pearl position markers, the ESP Horizon-I includes a set of perfectly complemented components like a Floyd Rose Original bridge, Gotoh locking tuners, and a set of top-tier pickups: a Seymour Duncan Cool Rails model in the neck position for warm, articulate, and full tones, and a Seymour Duncan Distortion in the bridge position for hard-hitting, crunchy rhythms that remain tight with low tungings, and screaming lead tones with wild harmonics. Available in Andromeda II and Titan Metal finishes. Includes high-quality hardshell ESP case.
