DISC ESP Original Horizon-I, Deep Candy Apple Red

Full Description

Solid Alder Body

Alder is favoured by most players for its incredibly balanced tone, offering the perfect dynamic range to suit most musical styles. This 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 sounds for most situations. The ESP Horizon-I Original features a captivating deep candy apple red finish, ensuring it will draw the attention of audiences on any stage.

Maple Neck, Ebony Fingerboard

The Original Series Horizon-I is equipped with a 3pc maple neck and ebony fingerboard, delivering warm, bright tones with plenty of depth and dynamics. The maple provides the overall tone with a rounded quality, creating bright characteristics and an excellent amount of sustain. 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 maple and ebony combination creates a sparkling, sizzling high end, a muscular controlled bass response, and a snappy midrange with extra presence in the lower mids.

Seymour Duncan Distortion & Hot Rails Pickups

The set of Seymour Duncan pickups provide this Original Series ESP with strong tones and plenty of dynamics to accommodate even the harshest playing styles. The Distortion bridge humbucker is designed with massive ceramic magnets and hot coil winding, offering an incredibly high output with a full-bodied tone. Its powerful upper mids provide this guitar with extra cut and grind, allowing leads to scream with wild harmonics perfect for rick and metal. The neck pickup is Seymour Duncan’s Hot Rails pickup, designed with ceramic magnets and hot overwound coils to deliver a warm, fat sound while retaining its clarity. This high output pickup is balanced enough to suit rock and metal, giving solos a thick, fluid feel while its dual blade construction offers the ultimate string coverage.

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 by addition of the locking nut at the end of the headstock.

Gotoh Locking Tuners

The Original Series ESP is finished off with a range of high-end components to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. The Gotoh locking tuners improve tuning stability while reducing string slippage, delivering a truly quick and easy way to tune. Their locking design allows players to ''lock'' their tuning in place, ensuring the guitar remains in-tune no matter the intensity of the performance.
