Hard-hitting, Beautifully Designed Electric from ESP
The USA V-II Quilted Maple Limited Edition from ESP is a beautifully designed solidbody electric that delivers stage-ready visuals and incredible tone. The V-II Limited begins with a mahogany body with quilted maple top — a tonewood pairing that is lightweight and resonant. A gorgeous 3-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard offers stellar playability and response, and a TonePros locking Tune-o-matic tailpiece bridge supports outstanding sustain. And when you plug in, EMG pickups kick out classic humbucking tone – a favorite among guitarists here at Sweetwater.
Great humbucking pair
The EMG 81X and 85X in the V-II Limited have won over countless players who love the expanded headroom that translates to cleaner tone when turned down as well as the legendary hot, full-throttle tone when cranked up. Both of these pickups are sensitive, warm, and pair beautifully with your amp settings. Fast legato lines and sweeping arpeggios are both at home with this humbucker pairing. A 3-way pickup selector and master tone control let you dial in your tone to your liking. And with the TonePros locking Tune-o-matic tailpiece bridge, your tuning and sustain are both supported as you define your own style.
Neck designed for play
The 3-piece maple neck on the V-II is cut to a smooth, playable Extra Thin "U" profile that offers hours of comfortable play. The ebony fingerboard is adorned with 24 extra jumbo stainless steel frets — a favorite among players in heavy genres. Classic dot inlays along the fingerboard provide an added visual delight.
ESP USA series employs the finest materials from around the world
ESP started as a manufacturer of after-market guitar parts in Japan in the late 1970s. By the mid-'80s, ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye toward playability and craftsmanship has made ESP Guitars one of the most visible and prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. In 2014, ESP opened their first US-based production factory. It's there that they craft their acclaimed ESP USA series guitars by hand, using the finest materials from around the world. George Lynch, Ron Wood, Kirk Hammett, and Alexi Laiho (and a bunch of us here at Sweetwater) rely on ESP guitars both onstage and in the studio.
