Description

The ESP E-II Horizon NT 7 is a striking testament to the blend of craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology that defines ESP's E-II line. This 7-string electric guitar is crafted in the legendary Tokyo factory, where attention to detail and premium materials take center stage. The Horizon NT 7 is designed for musicians who demand both versatility and power in one sleek package.

Dive into a world of sonic possibilities with its neck-through-body construction, which enhances sustain and stability, ensuring your music resonates with clarity and depth. The tonal foundation is anchored by a maple neck and alder body wings, creating a balanced and vibrant sound that can handle everything from articulate cleans to thunderous riffs.

Equipped with dual active EMG humbuckers, the 81-7H at the bridge and 85-7H at the neck, this guitar delivers a dynamic range that covers every musical style. The pickups' close-aperture coils and powerful magnets ensure your sound is both rich and precise, whether you’re shredding solos or laying down heavy rhythms. The ebony fretboard adds a layer of crisp articulation and near-endless sustain, providing a perfect playground for complex fingerwork.

With Gotoh locking tuners and the reliable EverTune bridge, the Horizon NT 7 offers rock-solid tuning stability, even during the most demanding performances. Its Thin U neck profile and 25.5-inch scale ensure a comfortable playing experience, allowing easy access to all 24 frets for both rapid-fire solos and intricate chord progressions.
