20 days ago I bought the ESP E-II RZK-II Burnt which was supposed to be a part of my 20 years of playing guitars celebration..
The passion for this guitar started back in 2010 when it was first released in the ESP custom shop, 7 years later in 2017 as some of you may know it was released as an E-II standard serie and I always wanted to get my hands on one of these. Had a small economic chance to buy one now so I grabbed the opportunity and ordered one..
The finish on the RZK-II is absolutely awesome, definitely the most intense graphic I have ever seen on a ESP standard series guitar. Very well crafted and with a great touch of realism and attention to detail. Acoustic sound was big and clear with a solid body feel to it. Weight was 4,3 kg and it had a very tasty Rosewood fingerboard. Fretwork was the best I have jet seen on any ESP standard series guitar. Neck had a nice thin U profile which felt just a tiny bit beefy on the thumb site, not much more than my other ESP guitars and it felt great to play none the less.
After having the RZK-II for just a few days I kind of realized that the point of getting this guitar for my anniversary wasn't sufficient enough to justify the expansion of my guitar collection based on actual needs for something different taking both price and my overall economy in consideration.
So I returned the RZK-II to get something cheaper and somehow more interesting in terms of tone and difference to what I already have in my collection. To be continued very soon….
I like to point out that this is still an awesome guitar and I felt kind of sad returning it. Maybe I will come back for one of these RZK's sometime in the future granted they are still out there and my economic is up for it.
I thought I would make this thread anyway to show the pics I took cause there ain't that many close-up pics of the RZK burnt finish out there..
So just to point out once again, this guitar was returned and is sadly no longer in my possession!
Still amazing finish though!!
