2002 ESP Kiso Custom Shop M-II Custom – Blackout
This is not your average ESP M-II. Built in 2002 at ESP’s legendary Kiso Custom Shop in Japan, this M-II Custom represents the absolute peak of ESP craftsmanship. Unlike standard production models, every detail here was hand-selected and hand-built by ESP’s top luthiers—making it an instrument for true professionals and collectors.
About ESP Kiso Custom Shop
The Kiso facility in Japan is ESP’s most prestigious workshop, reserved exclusively for special orders and artist-level builds. Instruments from Kiso are considered the pinnacle of ESP quality, even surpassing USA Custom Shop models. As a result, Kiso guitars are highly sought after by collectors and gain value over time.
Tone & Performance
Loaded with the classic EMG 81/60 active pickup set, this M-II delivers everything from razor-sharp riffs to creamy, sustaining leads. Whether you’re on stage or in the studio, the guitar cuts through with clarity and power.
EMG 81 (Bridge): Aggressive, tight, and articulate—perfect for palm-muted riffs and high-gain solos.
EMG 60 (Neck): Warm, smooth, and full-bodied—excellent sustain and surprisingly organic cleans.
Combined with a neck-thru maple construction, ebony fingerboard, and Original Floyd Rose, this guitar offers incredible sustain, stability, and precision tuning for modern metal, hard rock, and beyond.
