It?s all I ask for.

nono1989 04.01.2018

In this guitar all materials are from the top-shelf and everything is made without any compromise with astounding attention to detail. Binding is made perfectly and is accurate to within a millimeter. Guitar itself is light and comfortable when playing. An outer layer of flamed maple along with beautiful varnish remarkably emphasizes the depth and quality of the instrument. The guitar isn?t cheap it took some time to collect money to afford it. But it was worth it. Gotoh locking machine heads hold a tuning superbly and are also made like the guitar itself in Japan. Such tastes like real bone nut or Schaller straplocks make this guitar an absolute masterpiece. If it comes to the sound it produces, obviously it is on the highest level. A Seymour Duncan pickups along with alder body and maple top make this guitar sound amazingly. How can it not sound and look great with such features ?! As usual in ESP the case is in the set. It is made decently, lined with a plush, well-fitting and fulfils its purpose. I can surely state that it is the instrument that the greatest guitarists of our time wouldn?t have been ashamed of. I recommend this guitar to anyone who wants to possess a professional equipment in a price maybe not necessarily accessible but worth spending.

The best ESP guitar I've ever played!

The Guitar Wizard 28.03.2024

Unbelievable quality by ESP, this guitar is made by the Japanese custom shop team so don't let the E-2 branding fool you, it's a true ESP guitar.
The fretwork is unbelievably smooth and it's a very easy guitar to play, one of the most beautiful colours for a guitar, the pickups are top-noch and the split coil feature work perfectly, very versatile for many genres from blues to metal and everything in between, the locking tuners work extremely good, I've played this guitar for months and the tunning hasn't chanhed!
Amazing service by the thomman team!

Optik, Akustik und Haptik: top!

MickAle 01.08.2020

Auf der Suche nach einer Studio-Gitarre, die auch optisch viel hermachen soll, habe ich mich für diese Gitarre entschieden, ohne sie vorher mal "in echt" gesehen zu haben. Kriterie, die mich zu dieser Gitarre geleitet haben: ergonomisches Design, viel Sustain und Attack, ausgewogene Pickups, hohe Stimmstabilität mit der Option, das Tuning schnell anzupassen.

Alle meine Kriterien werden durch diese Gitarre erfüllt! Sie klingt in allen Tonlagen sauber intoniert und selbst ein Wechsel auf dickere Saiten und mit Drop Tuning hat der Tonreinheit nicht geschadet. Die Stimmstabilität ist makellos. Die Gitarre fühlt sich auch nach Stunden des Spielens angenehm an, bis auf die übliche Stelle am rechten Unterarm.
Was Abschirmung und Feedbackresistenz angeht, kann ich keine Beurteilung abgeben, da ich sie bisher nur im Studio bei leiser Lautstärke gespielt habe.

Die Gitarre empfehle ich als Instrument für den anspruchsvollen und auf Optik achtenden Studiomusiker, auch für live eignet sich die Gitarre bestimmt! Die einmalige Farbgebung, die je nach Lichteinfall und Blickwinkel zwischen blau, lila und schwarz changiert, macht sie zum Hingucker!

Elle sonne du feu de dieu

Hakuna matata 04.07.2022

Je l'ai reçu et essayé directement sur un Marshall DCL40 a lampes et en son clair,très beau,très blues..
En disto,la ça devient excellent car les sonorités des notes,des cordes restent très précises avec un petit grain du a cette guitare...
Avec du gain Master ,on voit direct que ça sonne métal.
Les solos aussi le peu que j'ai fais m'ont convaincu,les notes sonnent très bien,c'est bien précis! et le sustain est bon...
Vraiment content de mon achat
