Description

Unleash your inner rock star with the ESP Horizon NT-II DBSB, a masterpiece crafted for those who demand precision and power in their sound. This solid-body electric guitar, lovingly crafted in Japan, marries decades of expertise with cutting-edge design. Its sleek, double-cut body is carved from mahogany and crowned with a quilt maple top, ensuring a robust tonal foundation that's both rich and resonant.

The neck-through-body design is not just about aesthetics; it delivers incredible sustain and note definition, making it a perfect companion for high-gain and down-tuned playing styles. The ESP Horizon NT-II is armed with a pair of Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups, ready to traverse the sonic spectrum from creamy, vintage P.A.F tones to scorching hot leads. The neck pickup, a Seymour Duncan '59, offers smooth mids and a laid-back attitude, while the Duncan JB at the bridge turns up the heat, delivering aggressive, crunchy riffs with ease.

Every detail of the Horizon NT-II speaks to its Japanese craftsmanship, from the Gotoh tuners and TOM bridge/tailpiece that promise unwavering tuning stability, to the sleek contours that provide an unmatched playing feel. Whether you're shredding on stage or jamming in the studio, this guitar is your ticket to legendary rock tones.

Key Features:

  • Mahogany body with quilt maple top
  • Neck-through-body construction for enhanced sustain
  • Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and JB bridge pickup
  • Gotoh tuners and TOM bridge/tailpiece for tuning stability
  • 25.5" scale length ideal for modern rock styles

This particular instrument can be seen 15:10 into this video. Tom had been using this guitar since "Lost Forever // Lost Together" album. Also, I know that this model comes with Seymour Duncan's (http://www.espguitars.ru/old/esp-electro-guitars/esp-standard-guitars/esp-horizon-guitars/esp-horizon-nt-ii-dbsb.html), but Tom changed them to EMG's, probably. Or some active pickups, I should say.
