The ultimate speedy workhorse The classic yet sleek profile of the M-II NTB FR USA isn’t simply built to be a museum piece — this road-ready axe is fully primed to dish out your most brutal riffs and scorching leads. To start, the guitar's 3-piece neck-through maple neck, augmented by graphite reinforcement bars, features ESP's vaunted Extra Thin U profile, ensuring comfortable playability, steadfast reliability, and endless sustain. Body contours along the back of the lower horn deliver unfettered upper-fret access with a crisp, bright tone. Finally, the M-II NTB FR USA's lightning-fast, 12-inch radius ebony fingerboard is crowned by 24 stainless steel, extra-jumbo frets, ensuring a lifetime of playing enjoyment. EMG: invigorating tone-crafting tools and active-design power ESP and EMG. It's a time-honored partnership that traces to the latter’s earliest days innovating the guitar-playing landscape, and the ESP M-II NTB FR was outfitted with an equally iconic pickup pair. The neck-mounted EMG 66 debuted to give the modern player the power and pliability they need, without compromising the classic character of EMG’s active-pickup engineering. The company crafted the 66 humbucker with ceramic pole pieces, carefully tuning the design to fuse higher-register articulation with glass-like mids and resounding lows, giving you the warmth and fluidity you need from your neck-mounted machine, while preserving the clarity and focus of the active build. At the bridge, an EMG 57 humbucker augments the instrument’s aural aperture with polychromic presence and a deliverance of definition, with explosive degrees of heat and headroom that owe to its distinctive combination of both Alnico V magnets and steel pole pieces. Precision stage armor for relentless players A premium complement of stage-ready hardware augments the M-II NTB FR USA’s rock-solid, graphite-reinforced neck, starting with a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo that gives you instant access to subtle warbles, screaming squeals, and everything in between. Gotoh Magnum locking tuning machines work in tandem with the locking nut to ensure steadfast tuning stability. Next, Dunlop Straploks safeguard against unfortunate axe-dropping incidents. Finally, a Deep Dish jack protects your guitar cable from crimps and other calamities. To put it plainly, whether you use or abuse it, you'll have trouble knocking the M-II NTB FR USA out of tune — or out of commission.
