ESP USA Eclipse II Electric Guitar - Aged Honey Burst

ESP "USA" Eclipse II Electric Guitar - Aged Honey Burst

ESP "USA" Eclipse II Electric Guitar - made in Japan with the utmost care and attention to detail one would expect from ESP.

The "USA" ESP Eclipse II in a stunning Aged Honey Burst finish is an absolutely gorgeous example of ESP crafstmenship. The gorgeous flamed finish, custom bindings and beautiful relicing on the body of the guitar make it an instrument to stand out from the crowd.

This model is a "USA" specification which relates to the guitar having 2 x volume controls and 1 x tone as opposed to a traditional 2 x 2 vol/tone layout.

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.

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 combination of solid tone woods, the quality Seymour Duncan pick ups and exceptional build quality and attention to every detail make the "USA" Eclipse II a serious piece of kit and with these particular pick ups a more "straight rock" voicing which will suit a very wide range of players.

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.
