Description

ESP E-II instruments, formerly known as “ESP Standard Series,” are made in Japan at the ESP factory by highly skilled builders. Designed for professional players who require versatile, powerful tones, extraordinary playability, and rock-solid reliability for touring and recording needs, the ESP E-II Horizon HT-II is built with neck-thru-body construction at 25.5” scale for superior sustain and smooth, fast access to the highest frets. This guitar features an alder body, a thin U-shaped three-piece maple neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Components on the E-II Horizon HT-II include black hardware, a Hipshot fixed bridge with string-thru-body, a bone nut, ESP strap locks, Gotoh locking tuners, and a set of innovative, great-sounding Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Humbucker active pickups — ceramic in the bridge, and alnico in the neck. Their multiple voicings are selectable via push-pull controls. Includes ESP form-fit case.

Jamie Oldfield uses the ESP E-II HORIZON HT-II, as confirmed in an Instagram post by jamieslaysofficial. In the post, Jamie shares, "This is my ESP e2 horizon granite sparkle. I got this in Japan in 2024... I love it. The binding is beautiful. It took me a while to get into a place where I liked it as the tuning stability was a bit off. But the nut has been filed and now it’s great." The photo, posted on June 20, 2026, shows the guitar in detail.
