This is an absolute beast of an M-II and a brilliant example of what ESP’s Japanese Original Series does best. The Castmetal Purple finish is the immediate standout, giving the guitar a highly unusual industrial appearance that changes character under different lighting. Combined with the sharp M-II body shape and brushed-black hardware, it has a properly aggressive look without relying on excessive graphics or detailing.

The specification is pure high-performance ESP. Neck-through maple construction provides excellent upper-fret access, stability and sustain, while the Thin U profile, ebony fingerboard and extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets make it ideally suited to fast and precise playing. The classic EMG 81 and 85 pairing delivers a tight, powerful response with excellent definition under heavy gain, while the Floyd Rose Original allows for extreme pitch effects without sacrificing tuning stability. A distinctive Japanese-built M-II that combines serious stage presence with uncompromising modern-metal performance.

Mint / as new condition. Overseas import example with no previous owner. The Castmetal Purple finish presents exceptionally well, with no noteworthy marks or signs of play. The frets, hardware and electronics remain in pristine condition.
