Up for sale, a 1992 ESP Horizon-Custom-FM in excellent condition and in perfect working order. Masterfully crafted in Japan, this Horizon Custom features maple neck-through construction with mahogany body wings, a 24-fret ebony fingerboard, and a deeply figured carved two-piece flame maple top, loaded with a pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers and a genuine Floyd Rose tremolo.
The Seymour Duncan humbuckers are the classic pairing of an SH-1 PAF ‘59 neck humbucker and JB (Trembucker) bridge; the SH-1 ‘59 neck pickup was designed in the spirit of the original PAF, with sweet singing sustain, tight lows, and ideal midrange content to deliver full-sounding chords while retaining clarity and articulation. The TB-4 bridge pickup is Duncan’s original hot-rodded humbucker, with powerful low end, crisp, singing highs, and a slight midrange bump that adds crunch and chunk to heavy chords and translates to a singing, vocal-like quality when playing melodic lines. This Horizon-Custom-FM weighs 8lbs, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, slinky action, and spot-on intonation.

The gloss Natural finish on the carved, bookmatched maple top highlights deep straight tiger flame figuring, and cosmetic wear includes light buckle rash on the back central to the lower bout, some small nicks along the lower bout perimeter, and a number of minor dings on the body as a whole consistent with careful usage. The smooth matching gloss on the neck profile is flawless save for checking along the binding edge.
The original ESP-branded faux leather gigbag is included.
