This E-II Horizon QM FR is a seriously impressive instrument – a step up from entry-level, but not quite the price tag of the flagship ESPs. The combination of mahogany, quilted maple, and those Seymour Duncan pickups makes it a real tone monster, perfect for modern rock, metal, and even some heavier progressive styles. It’s a well-built, versatile axe for the discerning player.
