Personal Thoughts:
This ESP MIJ E-II Horizon NT Original Series in Twinkle Pink is an absolute showstopper and one of the boldest high-performance guitars in ESP’s lineup. Imported brand new from overseas, this 2025 model features a premium selection of tonewoods and high-end hardware, delivering uncompromising playability and sound.
The Twinkle Pink finish is jaw-dropping—a deep metallic sparkle that shimmers under different lighting, making it as much a statement piece as it is a professional instrument. The hard maple top over a Honduran mahogany body gives this guitar the perfect balance of warmth, sustain, and snap, while the set-thru construction ensures seamless upper-fret access and incredible resonance.
The Thin U neck profile is fast and comfortable, making this guitar a shredder’s dream, while the stainless steel frets ensure effortless bending and smooth playability for years to come. The ebony fingerboard with white binding and custom double-stripe inlays adds a premium aesthetic, reinforcing the attention to detail that ESP is known for.
When it comes to tone, this Horizon NT is an absolute monster. The Seymour Duncan Custom Shop 59/Jazz Hybrid in the neck provides rich, full-bodied cleans and smooth lead tones, while the 59/JB Hybrid in the bridge delivers tight low-end, soaring highs, and a powerful midrange punch—ideal for everything from articulate cleans to aggressive high-gain riffing. The mini-toggle pickup selector keeps things simple, allowing for quick tone changes on the fly.
The Gotoh AS103B-T & 510FA fixed bridge ensures incredible tuning stability and precise intonation, making this a rock-solid choice for modern players who need flawless reliability. The gold hardware adds a touch of class, perfectly complementing the Twinkle Pink finish for a bold yet sophisticated look.
