Loaded with a pair of vivacious Bare Knuckle Aftermath humbucking pickups along with an expressive Floyd Rose Original SE tremolo, it's clear the ESP E-II SN-2 electric guitar isn't designed to sit quietly in the back of the mix. These pickups are designed for a fast, detailed low-end response from your pick attack, and will make your palm-muted riffs sound absolutely massive. It has everything the modern metal guitarist could ask for, including a 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard with extra-jumbo frets, Gotoh locking tuners, and a lightning-fast Thin "U" neck profile with a satin finish.





Bare Knuckle pickups deliver deep, responsive tone





The ESP SN-2's Bare Knuckle Aftermath humbucking pickups deliver the perfect amount of bass response for tracking high-speed staccato riffs, along with increased midrange focus and killer high-end articulation. Hand-wound in the UK, Bare Knuckle Aftermath pickups give you the aggressive, precise tone demanded by modern metal guitarists.

Impeccable neck designed for demanding players





The Thin "U" neck profile on the E-II SN-2 is incredibly smooth with its satin finish, making it ideal for fast leads as well as varied chord forms up and down the neck. In addition, the 24 extra-jumbo frets on the E-II support easier bends and overall comfort for hours of play. Even the most technical guitar players at Sweetwater feel unencumbered with the E-II SN-2 in their hands.





Floyd Rose bridge/tailpiece for reliable, expressive performance





For serious creative potential, the ESP E-II SN-2 comes equipped with a real Floyd Rose Original SE tremolo bridge. A remake of the original Floyd Rose blade tremolo, this incredible bridge lets you grab on, rock out, and never worry about pulling your tuning out of whack. You'll get both the rock-solid reliability and the tight response you need with the ESP E-II SN-2.
