M-II FR USA
POWER BAIT

Introduced in our 2025 ESP USA lineup, the M-II FR USA takes one of the most acclaimed ESP guitar configurations — a two-pickup flat-topped M Shape with a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo — and offers it in four outstanding finishes. Handcrafted by the expert luthiers at the ESP USA shop in Southern California, the M-II FR USA is 100% ready to shred with sturdy bolt-on construction at 25.5” scale, a mahogany body, a maple neck, an ebony fingerboard with abalone dot position marker inlays and 24 extra-jumbo Jescar stainless steel frets, and a natural maple headstock.
Top-of-the-line components offered on the M-II FR USA include a Floyd Rose Original double-locking tremolo bridge, Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners, and Dunlop Straplok buttons. The M-II FR USA is being offered in scheduled production runs featuring either Seymour Duncan, EMG, or Fishman pickups.
The M-II FR USA includes a custom ESP USA form-fitting hardshell case, and an official Certificate of Authenticity from ESP.
