The E-MII-CTM is a seriously well-built guitar, a real step up from entry-level STs. The combination of ash, maple, and those Custom Lab pickups delivers a powerful and versatile tone that's fantastic for rock, blues, and even heavier styles. It's premium-priced, but worth it if you’re looking for a Japanese-made instrument with a refined feel and a killer sound.
