Frequently Asked Questions
The NT-II neck profile is generally a bit thinner and flatter than many ESP necks, offering a more modern feel that caters to faster playing.
The gloss finish on the quilted maple top is beautiful, but it’s susceptible to scratches like any gloss finish – a quality case is a must.
The 57/66 pairing offers a more balanced output and a slightly smoother high-end response compared to some more aggressive, scooped EMG sets.
