ESP USA Eclipse Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, Seymour Duncan Black Winter Pickups, Blood Splatter

PLAYER’S PERSPECTIVE

It’s always a treat to get a beautiful USA-made ESP into the shop. Built in ESP’s USA factory right here in California, these instruments are top-of-the-line instruments on par with their renowned, artisan-made Japanese Custom Shop guitars. The “Blood Splatter” finish on this Eclipse is artistic, fearsome, and quite the head-turner. With how “killer” this guitar sounds, this finish certainly looks the part!

You can experience how simply incredible this axe is before you even plug it in. Just like your favorite vintage 24.75″ singlecut guitar, the neck and body resonate and sustain for days. The neck profile is very comfortable and just thick enough in all the right places, blending the best of vintage specification with ESP’s contemporary design mentality. If you’re a big bender, you’re going to love the way this guitar plays. All kinds of legato can be pulled off with minimal effort and expressive vibrato is always at your fingertips.

This guitar features Seymour Duncan Black Winter pickups. These pickups roar with the ferocity of ten thousand savage beasts – high-output ceramic magnets with a traditional passive design. Lean, mean, and ready to scream, these pickups pump out a crushing tone that fits the look of this axe perfectly. They sound great through an amp set to ripping distortion! Metalheads rejoice.
