ESP E-II Line Overview


Active EMG 89 pickups deliver impressive versatility





The ESP E-II FRX FM is armed with a pair of Alnico V EMG 89 active humbuckers, which pull double duty as both single- and dual-coil pickups. In single-coil mode, you get classic, chimey spank and sparkle similar to EMG's SA model. As a dual-coil, it delivers warm, powerful tone reminiscent of the popular EMG 85. You use the E-II FRX FM's push/push pots to switch between single-coil and humbucking modes. With two of these beasts onboard the E-II FRX FM, you get tons of genre-hopping tonal versatility.
