Personal Thoughts:
The ESP MIJ Original Horizon Limited Edition in Silver Liquid Metal is a work of art as much as it is a high-performance guitar. This Limited Edition masterpiece is built in Japan to ESP’s highest standards, and it screams both visually and sonically.
The first thing that hits you? That Silver Liquid Metal finish. It’s a stunning, dynamic metallic silver that shifts under the light, giving the guitar an ultra-modern, futuristic look while keeping that classic ESP Horizon edge. Unlike standard metallic finishes, this Liquid Metal Silver has depth and complexity, making it stand out from anything else on the market.
Playability? Absolute perfection. The Slim U maple neck is fast, smooth, and effortless, and with the neck-thru-body construction, you get unlimited sustain and seamless upper fret access. The ebony fretboard with offset pearloid dot inlays adds a sleek, high-end aesthetic while providing an ultra-smooth playing surface. Whether you’re shredding leads or digging into heavy riffing, this neck feels like butter.
Now, let’s talk about tone. The Seymour Duncan pickup combination is an absolute powerhouse:
- The Neck Cool Rails (SCR-1n) provides smooth, articulate cleans with just the right amount of warmth, making it ideal for glassy leads and rich rhythm tones.
- The Bridge Custom Shop JB/Custom Hybrid brings tight low-end, cutting highs, and a boosted midrange, making it perfect for high-gain distortion while remaining articulate and responsive.
The Floyd Rose Original Tremolo system is rock-solid, allowing for dive bombs, flutter effects, and extreme vibrato while keeping everything locked in tune. The Gotoh locking tuners ensure additional tuning stability, making this a perfect guitar for aggressive playing styles that demand precision.
This guitar is the ultimate blend of aggressive modern aesthetics and professional-grade playability, making it ideal for shredders, metal players, and anyone who wants a next-level ESP that delivers in both looks and performance.
