ESP Eclipse II FM Electric Guitar - Vintage Honey Burst (VHB)
ESP Standard Series Eclipse II FM - made in Japan with the utmost care and attention to detail one would expect from ESP.
The ESP Eclipse range of guitars are truly the most amazing rock guitars we've ever had in stock. Excellently appointed with professional grade features such as a stunning flame maple top, top grade pick ups and Gotoh hardware.
In addition, the necks on all the Japanese ESPs are simply outstanding. The Thin-U shaped neck is as smooth as silk all round and the Rosewood fret board is gorgeous and very very smooth.
The body of the guitar is a classic combination of Mahogany and Flamed Maple Top which gives the Eclipse a lovely resonant tone.
Pick ups are provided by Seymour Duncan by way of a TB-4 "JB" in the bridge which is great for heavy blues to heavy rock - plenty of output while retaining the clear highs and agressive harmonics. This is thoughtfully paired with a SH-1 "59 Model" pick up in the neck position which gives the the player access to warmer clean tones and full/rounded distortion sounds giving the instrument great versatility and quality no matter the style being played.
Feature packed, ready to rock this ESP guitar is a true players instrument which will never let you down on stage or in the studio.

Some of the special features of this ESP Guitar include:
GOTOH MAGNUM LOCK TUNERS
ESP proudly features Gotoh locking tuners on many new and existing ESP Standard Series instruments. Gotoh parts have long been the choice for many ESP instruments over the years. Gotoh's unique design automatically locks the string to the shaft while winding the tuning key (tuning to pitch).
TWO-WAY ADJUSTING TRUSS ROD
Most of our instruments are built using a 2-way adjusting truss rod. Unlike a traditional (single-adjusting) truss rod which is still commonly used on many other manufacturers' instruments, our truss rod is adjustable both clockwise and counter-clockwise. With a single-adjusting truss rod, once you loosen the nut all the way, that is it. You are left with no more adjustment – this can leave your instrument unplayable if the neck cannot be adjusted properly. By using a 2-way truss rod we have eliminated the possibility of that ever happening.
