I just wanted to say I've had one of these for a few months now and it is Incredible! I've been playing LTD's for the past 9 years and own several other "1000-series" guitars and this is hands down the best feeling Guitar I've owned. The Horizon-III shape feels and looks incredible and the pickups sound amazing I personally love the custom-5 in the bridge. If you are thinking about getting one of these it is definitley worth it! (plus you just gotta love that gorgeous Purple Sunburst; even though Green would be killer too
)
Hey Alvin, We're thrilled to hear how much you like your guitar and thanks for recommending it to other players as well as posting your product review here. This is definitely a cool shape. Thanks for choosing ESP!
When are you making new models of this serie? I think it's a fantastic idea to do kinda an affordable esp e-II horizon-III model!
Hi Lord, It's quite possible that we will add to this series next year. Thanks for pointing this out and letting us know what you're looking for.
Please make this model also as a bass.
Hi Felipe, Thanks for your suggestion. We have never made this as a bass before but we did make a Horizon style bass in the past.
I played the EII version of this a few months back at a Sam Ash. And something about the neck just felt perfect! It had a really smooth, and almost oily feel to the fretboard. That day I played about 10 different Guitars, everything from higher end Music Mans, EVH's, Jackson Soloists and Dinky's, Ibanez RG's, Gibson's, basically everything they had that I liked. And the Horizon EII felt and played the best! It was really all about that fretboard feel. I'm now curious is the neck on the LTD version, the same neck that's on the EII version that I played? Again, it just played like butter, very smooth and easy to play. No other Guitar's fretboard felt like that.
Hi David, Glad to hear how much you liked the E-II version. I would say that the neck specs are roughly the same but there is something really cool about the E-II and ESP brand in general, they just do a much better job of shaping everything so perfectly. So I think although the LTD neck feels great, it's not exactly the same. I would suggest if you can try an LTD neck first before you buy one, give it a shot and see what you think. Probably the main thing about that E-II is that the fingerboard is sort of glossy. This comes from polishing the ebony, so it almost looks and feels like a shiny paint surface (but not sticky). Hope that helps.
Just picked this up from Sam Ash. I love the guitar. It plays great and sounds great. I think the SD pickups sound great. I play a lot of 90s music grunge, metal, alternative, hard rock. I get pretty good tones out of it and works well with my Blackstar HT40 as well as a sweet PRS Tremonti MT 15 half stack at Sam Ash. I am not a Floyd Rose/tremolo fan, so thank you for the fixed/TOM bridge.
I love the quality of this guitar and plays like a dream. Thank you ESP. Keep putting out these and you’ve got a lifetime customer.
