None. LTD Elite has been folded into the E-II line, since they were equal high-quality guitars being made in our Japan factory.
ESP Guitars John: all of our brands are "real ESP's". Our E-II Series in particular is made in Japan by ESP luthiers, and can save you some money compared to our higher-end models. If you want an ESP Original or ESP Custom Shop, we have those available as well. Thanks for writing.
ESP Guitars Apparently, there's some misunderstanding about what E-II is, and we're thankful for your responses that let us know about it! We'll put together an article that will help you understand, but E-II *is* ESP, the same high-quality guitars that were formerly called "ESP Standard", built by the same people in the same place. We'll have more to tell you soon. Thanks!
ESP E-II is our newest product series. Made in Japan by our experienced luthiers, ESP E-II represents a more affordable way to take advantage of excellent Japan-built ESP guitars and basses. See the whole E-II Series here: Products - E-II Guitars - The ESP Guitar Company
ESP E-II: The New Standard Made in our Japan factory, ESP E-II offers the level of quality youʼve come to know from our standard ESP guitars and basses, with high-quality workmanship and professional components. The ESP E-II Series includes some of the new designs appearing in the ESP Original Series, plus some classic ESP models, for a slightly more affordable price than the Originals.
