Solid Alder Body
Alder is favoured by most players for its incredibly balanced tone, offering the perfect dynamic range to suit most musical styles. The alder body is perfect for a variety of playing styles as its excellent sustain and resonance ensures each note is heard. Its bright, sizzling highs, rounded lows, and beefy midrange sets up the foundation of the guitar's overall tonality, allowing players to achieve the perfect sound for most situations. The body also features a contoured design, allowing the guitar to hug the player and deliver an incredibly comfortable performance.
Maple Neck-Through Construction
The E-II Horizon features a 3-piece maple neck to produce beautifully bright tones, with searing highs and strong mids for a dynamic performance. Its thin U-shaped profile is perfect for speed demons, allowing players to easily reach across the entire fingerboard without losing any comfort. The addition of an ebony fingerboard helps to tighten up the neck’s tone, giving it a defined feel, excellent clarity, and a fast attack. The neck-through construction optimises the maximum contact between the neck and body joint, enhancing the guitar's resonance for an advanced sustain. This setup allows superior vibration transfer and sustainability, perfect for when you need notes to ring out for as long as possible.
EMG 707 Pickups
The EMG 707 humbucker has been one of the leading pickups for 7 string guitars since its debut in 2001, delivering a tight tone with an excellent response and incredible articulations. The 707 eliminates muddy B strings and beefs up the tone to articulate the upper registration and maintain balance. Manufactured with an alnico V magnet and wide aperture coils, the powerful duo of 707 pickups will articulate every note, chord, and harmonic, offering a reliable and balanced tone suitable for deliver pure tonal destruction.
Floyd Rose Original Tremolo
For many years Floyd Rose has been the leading manufacturer and designer of floating, locking tremolos. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years, the Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch with the removable whammy bar to create unique sounds such as dive bombs. Unlike non-locking tremolo's, the Floyd Rose bridge can make huge changes in pitch but still retain the initial tuning via the locking nut at the end of the headstock.
High-End Hardware
The guitar is finished off with high-end hardware to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. The Gotoh locking tuners improve tuning stability and reduces string slippage, while the Schaller straplocks protect against accidental strap release, ensuring players can deliver a powerful performance without worrying about dropping their guitar.
