Calling all musicians!
This guitar is the first one made by ESP for the lead guitar player and singer of the band Lord. It's a prototype and it is #1 of only 2 ever made.
Specs: ESP E-II LT-27 Body: Alder Neck : 3-piece Maple bound reversed headstock Fretboard: Bound Ebony with large dot inlay Inlays: Block inlays ESP at 24th fret and LT-27 at 12th fret Side Markers: Luminous Dot Construction: Neck-thru-body Scale: 25.5" Tuners: Gotoh Bridge: Original Floyd Rose Hardware Color: Black Frets: 27 XJ Scalloped 12 - 27 Pickups: Seymour Duncan TB-14 (b) and SHR-1n (n) Controls: 1 Volume w/ push-push coil split switch, 1 mini toggle switch - switch phase on rear humbucker, 3-way slide switch Color: Metallic Splatter Dark Blue Tuning/Strings: D Standard with Cleartone 10-52 This guitar plays like a dream with the action being as smooth as glass and as low as possible without any fret buzz. The pups are surprisingly well suited and you would be hard pressed not to find great tone from this Horizon. All the frequencies are blended nicely and whether you are using the bridge pup for chunky metal riffing or the neck single coil for solo's all chords and notes are lively and full. Not even the scalloped fretboard will throw you off. They don't take any getting used to. You would have to be strangling the neck with your left hand to push the notes out of tune. The paint job is also incredibly wicked when in person. The body can go from dark blue to purple to almost a complete empty void in black depending on the lighting but what I like the most is it may seem like this guitar was built for the dog and pony show however it is a player's guitar. The overall feel actually encourages you to play with a soft touch but musicians with a heavy hand would appreciate how well the LT-27 holds tune. You can throw all the speed metal and thrash you want to at this fiddle and it responds like a champion. I'm of course on my honeymoon with it so in a few weeks I'll be able to write a more detailed review. Until then I am extremely happy with the E-II. Hope you guys enjoy the pics! I attached a video of Lord at the bottom of this thread. Enjoy!          |

ESP makes excellent guitars.
 Can't afford a nice ESP with my other hobbies competing for my cash, but were my wallet bottomless it would definitely be a contender. |
