Key Features
The ESP E-II M-I Thru NT is raw rock guitar making at its finest. All ESP's Tokyo-built E-II models are brimming with top notch components, and have the build quality to match. The M-I Thru NT is no different, but its stripped down design uses only the very best elements of a rock 'n' roll guitar, such as its single EMG 81 humbucker, positioned at the bridge. This pickup's active construction chucks out chunky chugs by the bucketload, with enough clarity and definition to handle screaming solos and atmospheric cleans too.
Created for character. The M-I Thru NT's neck-thru, string-through design resonates through its alder body so held notes hold longer, rung chords ring truer and solos retain maximum soulful spirit. Top of the line Gotoh hardware means unbeatable tuning stability, gig after gig, and with its simple, classic lines, single volume knob, and killer, deep candy apple red paint job, the E-II M-I Thru NT is a masterpiece of concentrated chaos. A lot of what you like, and absolutely nothing you can't live without onstage.

Pickups with power. In the world of rock, electronics brands don't come more iconic than EMG. The ESP E-II M-I Thru NT comes locked and loaded with an EMG 81 active humbucker in the bridge position, perfect for crushing, crunchy chords to make your rhythm playing roar. Selecting the right part for a single-pickup guitar means picking a model that's got strength in depth. The 81's singing high end makes it the ideal choice for players who also need full-throttle, foot-on-the-monitor solo potential too. Every base covered in one, high-quality pickup.
Natural. Smooth. Fast. The three-piece maple neck on the E-II M-I is an innovation. Designed for ultimate sleekness and as pristine a playing experience as you can get, it will liberate your music making. Naturally smooth, your hand will glide along the fretboard with minimal resistance, meaning fast fret changes and maximum fun. Its bright resonance, which brings out even more attack in your riffs, is only enhanced by the naturally snappy tone of the beautiful ebony fingerboard. With this sonic tool in your grip, nothing will stand in your way.
The guitar is finished off with high-end hardware to ensure players receive the best playing experience possible. The M-I comes loaded with top of the range hardware from the Japanese masters at Gotoh. Their world-renowned tuners and bridges have gained a reputation for being everything a professional musician needs - accurate, musical and pretty well indestructible! The Tune-o-Matic bridge allows pinpoint intonation adjustment, ensuring every note is spot on, while the Gotoh locking tuners improve tuning stability and reduce string slippage Finally, the E-II M-I's Dunlop straplocks protect against accidental strap release, ensuring players can deliver a powerful performance without worrying about dropping their guitar.
