I bought in France for 1700 euros (Book with Tui ESP).
This is Fr Horizon II, MODEL destined France, manufactured by ESP in Japan although sr!

http://www.laboitenoire.net/guitare/marques/popimage.php?image=GES-HORI2-STBC313.jpg

It is equipped with a floyd rose original, and two Seymour Duncan
(Sh1n sleeve TB4 bridge). The violin is perfect, look at the picture!
The binding is the most beautiful effect.
You will find all the other characters. the black box ...

Plus: Push the button-push on acute for micro splitter
(Push push: you only shoot .... gnial rapid)

Only regret:
It would really MRIT a simple micro in the middle
(Espace. ..? And as the micro splittent ...)

UTILIZATION

This guitar is amazing!
Premire surprise in the test:
the handle. It is highly accessible, super smooth (the two cots, as the key varnished
amazing). CHAC is the acute incroyabe (they could have added freight without any problem,
24 c but not sufficient? ,-P). I play by placing it lower than my old guitar
without losing speed!

It is quite lgre and little feeding.
The action can be set low trs. It's a little fret clear sound (playing quietly ...),
its disto no problem. The bends are not without pb.
The Floyd is quite low, super convenient to ask the hand
(More guitar is hungry, comfortable trs)

small defect in my opinion for metalheads, but that is normal:
There is no groove for the right arm.
Gnant to beginners, there used to it very quickly sy.

SOUNDS

I play for a month, pluttmtal style (with large passages clear)
I have not yet found a sound that kill in the clear, but it must be possible.
In Split we get good clear sound, especially in the middle position to the handle.

By distortion, incredible. There is power, sound prcis trs.
I were rather DiMarzio or EMG, I must admit that I've been very surprised
both Seymour. The neck pickup is very aerial and powerful
bridge pickup super powerful (for its clear limits), with a good prsence
of acute and severe. A small side though enjoyable vintage (c is very subjective ...). More
he has an open sound (playing into agreements distortion is defined clearly enough
each of the strings, much like the DiMarzio Steve's Special).

In short, excellent and versatile trs (j d have tried on other styles, ca
trs work well).

OVERALL OPINION

J had ordered the M1000 LTD at beginners, but my seller
Fr bought this Horizon II, he managed to persuade me ...
He said this guitar is versatile trs, to you to judge.
Small precision, the M1000 is sold around 1400 euros,
having a tui addition to any brand. For 300 euros
more ESP you marked on the top of the handle, not LTD ..... ;-P
(And with a beautiful tui ESP trs very solid!)

Also I could compare it with a LTD F-200 team in EMG81
(On the same amp and effects). The horizon s fate more than well, she
is almost as powerful as EMG81, while providing harmonic
much richer (lutherie. .....). A brief Russianness.

I deprecated the change of microphones (for EMG81), both given the qualitbr /> on the violin, the Seymours are two quite suitable! Anyway with my config,
j gets good sounds good nags (Metallica, DT ...)

Conclusion:
if I could, I m buying another! (The black one ...)

LITTLE SHIFT:
J ai change of opinion on one point, I have changed my pickups for four months:
a DiMarzio Steve's Special in the Bridge
a DiMarzio Air Norton in the Channel ...
INCREDIBLE!
Clearly we could find very good sound with norton or
with two (j uses virtually split over !)...
In distortion it rocks her mom, HUGE! Its very metal type,
happiness!
Solo very "hot" in handle, its very sharp and aggressive bridge!
And for both, great precision in going back!
yyyeeeaahhhh METAL RULES!
