Versatile, Aggressive Tones are on the Horizon
ESP LTD’s Horizon 87 delivers hot, supercharged tones fit for any heavier genre. Featuring a neck-through design with a 3-piece maple neck that runs the length of the entire solidbody guitar, the instrument is more stable and delivers a considerable boost in sustain. Two contoured alder body wings complete the body, giving you a well-balanced and inviting feel. On the electronics side, the LTD Horizon 87 is outfitted with a pair of Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups that will punish your pedals and amplifier with high-gain aggression. Each pickup features a coil-split, too, for further tonal exploration. All of these features, plus the rock-solid Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo, combine to make the ESP LTD Horizon 87 a veritable workhorse guitar.

Seymour Duncan pickups deliver the goods
Two Seymour Duncan pickups give the Horizon 87 a fiery voice. Starting in the neck position, a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail pickup supplies fat, high-output tone with plenty of sustain. Though sized similarly to a single-coil pickup, the Hot Rail pickup’s humbucking design provides hum-free performance. Down in the bridge position, a Custom humbucker pummels your pedalboard with red-hot tones. What’s more, the push-pull tone knob lets you split either of the pickups for enhanced tonal diversity.
Stable, consistent playability
Playability is the name of the game for most musicians, and the LTD Horizon 87 definitely doesn’t disappoint. The guitar features a 3-piece maple neck carved into ESP LTD’s extra-thin “U” profile. This neck shape is wicked fast, inviting you to reach heroic playing heights. Your fingers will love the smooth-as-glass ebony fingerboard, too. Furthermore, the LTD Horizon 87 boasts a neck-through design for greater sustain and resonance. Sweetwater speed demons agree: the LTD Horizon 87’s neck has the capability to take your playing to the next level and beyond.
Poised for flexible and expressive playing
The LTD Horizon 87 is loaded with a Floyd Rose 1000 series tremolo, which enables a host of exciting playing options. This tremolo gives you total freedom to dive-bomb, flutter, and shriek to your heart’s content. Plus, Floyd Rose’s signature double-locking design ensures that you always return to pitch — even after the deepest whammy warbles.
