The M-II, which is a descendant of the MIRAGE that was born in the late 1980s, is one of ESP's most representative models, is used by many guitarists, and is still very popular. Based on this M-II, we will release EDWARDS E-M-II CTM, which has modern specifications.

The body is ash and the top is laminated with flame maple veneer. The edges of the top of the body are wrapped in hard maple wood binding. The neck is a 3-piece hard maple with an ebony fingerboard. There is no position mark on the top of the fingerboard, giving it a stylish look. The head is wrapped in the same wood binding as the body.

The neck is bolt-on jointed to the body. The joint part is a new mechanism CD cut that pursues further specifications, which can be said to be an evolution of the queen cut, and the bush type joint method and the part of the body that goes to the inside of the cutaway are lowered one step, and the thickness near the high fret is increased. This allows for a smooth shape that minimizes stress.

As for the hardware, the pegs are of the type with GOTOH's MG-T mechanism, reducing stress when changing strings. The pickup uses ESP Custom Lab's latest model, H-3. This humbucker is a high gain type with a matte bobbin, black logo, and black pole piece, and has a rich low-mid sound.
The bridge is also a fixed type from ESP Custom Lab, and the bridge plate that surrounds the saddle prevents the saddle from lateral wobbling and allows string vibration to be transmitted to the body without loss.

The simple control structure of master volume, master tone, and lever pickup selector allows for intuitive operation.

The neck grip has a satin finish and slides smoothly, so there is no stress when changing positions. In addition, the body is deliberately not coated with a base coat, and is finished with a thin layer of paint that retains the texture of the wood. In addition, by using lacquer for the top coat, it has a unique texture and feel.
