ESP E-II T-6 HS Ice Blue Sparkle

ESP E-II T-6 HS Ice Blue Sparkle: technical overview

The ESP E-II T-6 HS Ice Blue Sparkle is a six-string electric guitar built around a neck-through maple neck, an alder body, and an ebony fingerboard. Its pickup layout is HH, with one Fishman Fluence Modern Ceramic humbucker at the bridge and one Fluence Modern Alnico humbucker at the neck. The listed price is 3055; the supplied information does not identify a currency.

Its specification points to a guitar with a fixed bridge rather than a tremolo system. ESP lists a Hipshot bridge, a locking nut, and Gotoh locking tuners. The instrument has 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, a 25.5-inch scale, and a 12-inch fingerboard radius. These details define its hardware and playing geometry, but they do not establish how it sounds or feels in use.

Neck, fingerboard, and playing dimensions

The neck runs through the body and is made of maple. This construction differs from a bolt-on neck, where the neck is attached to the body with hardware. The fingerboard is ebony, and the neck profile is a thin U shape. ESP specifies a 42 mm nut width, a 648 mm scale length, and a 305 mm fingerboard radius.

The 25.5-inch scale is a full-length electric guitar scale. The 42 mm nut width is a useful reference for comparing the neck with other guitars, while the thin U profile describes its cross-section. Neither measurement alone establishes whether a player will find the neck comfortable. Hand size, playing style, setup, and personal preference all matter.

There are 24 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets. Stainless steel is the stated fret material, and extra jumbo describes the fret size. The provided specifications do not give fret dimensions or a factory setup measurement, so those details cannot be assessed here. The ebony board and maple neck are identified materials; no additional claims about their tonal effect are warranted from the supplied data.

Pickups and controls

The bridge position uses a covered Fluence Modern Ceramic humbucker, while the neck position uses a covered Fluence Modern Alnico humbucker. The controls consist of one volume knob, one tone knob with a push-pull function, and a three-way pickup selector. ESP does not specify what the push-pull switch changes, so its exact switching function should be confirmed with the manufacturer or seller rather than assumed.

The pickup pairing gives the instrument two different Fluence Modern pickup models in the bridge and neck positions. However, no output readings, wiring diagram, switching table, or sound samples are included in the available information. A player comparing pickup voices should therefore seek those details or try the guitar in person instead of relying on the model names alone.

Bridge, tuning hardware, and finish

The Hipshot bridge is paired with a locking nut and Gotoh locking machine heads. There is no tremolo. Together, those details identify a fixed-bridge setup with locking components, but they do not guarantee tuning stability in every setup or playing condition. The factory string set is Elixir Nanoweb Super Light, gauged.009,.011,.016,.024,.032, and.042.

The finish is Ice Blue Sparkle matte, and the hardware is black. The body is alder, with no separate top listed. ESP specifies that the instrument is made in Japan. No weight, body thickness, case type, or finish-care instructions are provided, so those points should be checked before purchase if they affect a buyer's decision.

What is included, and what to verify

A case is included, while a separate gig bag is not. The item number is 634737, and the sales unit is one piece. These are useful ordering details, especially when checking a listing or matching the instrument to a seller's inventory.

There are no customer reviews available for this product. This assessment is therefore limited to the listed construction, components, and dimensions, rather than reported owner experience. Before buying, confirm the currency and current price, the exact push-pull function, the case supplied, and the guitar's setup and condition. The core specification is clear: a maple neck-through design, alder body, ebony fingerboard, dual Fluence humbuckers, fixed Hipshot bridge, and 24 stainless steel frets.
