ESP E-II Eclipse, See-Through Black Cherry Sunburst

Full Description

Quilted Maple Topped Mahogany Body

The E-II Eclipse’s body is crafted from mahogany and features a quilted maple top, enhancing the guitar's natural brightness and creating a unique aesthetic. The mahogany tonewood delivers a soft tone, with plenty of grind and bite to keep it well-balanced and create plenty of depth. The guitar’s appealing high end and full, tight low end ensures the overall tonality remains thick and firm, offering plenty of dynamics to accommodate a variety of musical styles. The body is finished in see-through black cherry burst with multiple white binding and black hardware, creating a visually stunning and eye-catching appearance.

Mahogany Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

Featuring a mahogany neck to deliver a warm sonic punch, the ESP Guitar’s overall sound is open and mellow, creating a beautifully appealing tone with excellent articulation. The addition of a rosewood fingerboard enhances the mahogany’s natural warmth, creating a beautifully mellow tone with the perfect amount of presence in the lower mids. The mahogany and rosewood combination provides the ESP with complex highs, thick, creamy lows, and a punchy midrange.

EMG 81 & 60 Pickups

The ESP E-II Eclipse incorporates a set of powerful EMG 81 and 60 humbuckers, constructed from close aperture coils and ceramic magnets to deliver advanced detail and a truly meaty tone. EMG pickups are favoured by many professional musicians due to their unbeatable tone, active circuitry, high output, and low noise performance. Setting the guitar into the bridge position will deliver the thick, punchy tonality of the EMG 81, while the neck position produces the warm, crisp tones of the EMG 60.

Tonepros Tune-O-Matic Bridge

Incorporating an innovative locking tune-o-matic bridge system, the E-II Eclipse eliminates the problem every guitarist who uses a tune-o-matic bridge will have encountered, the lack of stability when the strings are removed. This problem usually causes the bridge to fall off and creates minor unwanted adjustments to the bridge height. However, the locking tune-o-matic bridge makes that a thing of the past, with high tension springs fitted into the attachments to allow the bridge to clip and lock into place without the use of tools, and also increases sustain by up to 20 percent.
