Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

This is one of those guitars that gets under your skin very quickly and will probably make you forget your previous favorites! ESP did an extremely good job with M-II Maple. A phrase "words are not enough to describe it" suits this instrument well.

Feature-wise this guitar is perfect! There is no need to add or remove anything, and that is quite an achievement by ESP, considering that it's quite hard to please every musician's desire, in order to grade an instrument such as M-II Maple with such a high score when it comes to guitar features. That means that ESP has constructed more or less a guitar with perfect features, so if you decide to buy M-II Maple you will be more than happy with it.

This beauty has virtually no flaws. ESP surpassed their traditional level of quality and produced an instrument that is built great, and built to last. The finish is amazing and the hardware easily adjustable to fit any kind of action. The neck is superb and smooth while playing. M-II Maple stays in tune 99% of the time and responds well to various playing styles.

If you need an instrument that withstands live performances and studio sessions, rehearsals and practicing, you should rest assured that ESP's M-II Maple is the right choice. This instrument is definitely built to last and will do so , through fire and flames. ESP has the knowledge and experience you can rely on, and that kind of experience is well built into M-II Maple.
