They've been making a name for themselves. The SN-2 hosts a pair of Alnico V powered Aftermath humbucker pickups in the neck and bridge positions. They make it proudly stand out from the crowd. Known for their incredible quality and responsiveness to your playing, you will find a wealth of tonal greatness and flexibility in their sound.
The bottom end will track your riffing tightly and accurately. The mid-range will punch through any mix with ease. The highs will scream with wicked glee as they tear through the room with precision and tight articulation. A three-way pickup selector allows you to change between the neck and bridge pickups with ease, or use both with the middle position. Once you hear how these pickups enhance your sound, nothing will stand in your way as you pummel your way through riffs.
Natural. Smooth. Fast. The maple neck on the E-II SN-2 is an innovation. Designed for the ultimate sleekness and as pristine a playing experience as you can get, it will liberate your music-making. Being naturally smooth, your hand will glide along the fretboard with minimal resistance, meaning fast fret changes are possible. You'll also be able to explore its bright resonance, which brings out even more attack in your riffs. With this sonic tool in your grip, nothing will stand in your way.
Ebony. The guitarist's ultimate companion. With its unmistakable smooth, finessed feel and beautiful look, the ebony fretboard on this creation is exceptional.

Once your fingers are flying down the frets, you'll realise just how incredibly effective and elegant this wood truly is.
