ESP E-II Eclipse DB Guitar, Ebony Fretboard, EMG 81 / 60 Pickups, Vintage Black

Player's Perspective

ESP's E-II series guitars blend the unsurpassed Japanese quality of high-end ESP models with the accessibility of the LTD line. They're immaculately built, professional-grade instruments that are ready for the stage, studio and road.

This is the perfect metal guitar. Thanks to the simple and unbeatable combination of tone woods and stellar active EMG electronics, this classy black & gold example kicks ass and takes names. The styling is classy, understated and very metal at the same time. Perhaps the best thing about this guitar is the combination of an effortless fret hand feel alongside rock solid build quality. It's ready to take abuse, but you barely have to move your hand to play it. We're willing to bet this axe will be in your rig for quite some time before you have to do any work on it, if ever. Great electronics and quality hardware top everything off.

Perfect for the recording and gigging metal or hard rock player, this guitar can easily become your go-to axe.

Details

The ESP E-II Eclipse DB is inarguably one of the coolest-looking guitars in the entire ESP offering. It starts with a great combination of Vintage Black finish and age-yellowed multi-binding with gold hardware. But the E-II Eclipse DB is more than a killer-looking instrument; it's also one of our finest-playing guitars. Powered by a set of EMG 60 (neck) and EMG 81 (bridge) pickups, it's ready for everything from deep and contemplative sounds to the most screaming, aggressive tones imaginable. A set-neck design, it's easy to get quickly up to the highest frets. It features a mahogany body with maple cap, a one-piece mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets. The E-II Eclipse DB includes high-end components like ESP strap locks, Gotoh locking tuners, and a Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece. Like all instruments in our E-II Series, the Eclipse DB is made in Japan at ESP’s Tokyo factory. Includes hardshell case.
