The ESP E-II ECLIPSE FR Charcoal Burst is an electric guitar in a traditional single-cut (LP) design. The mahogany body of the guitar is adorned with a fancy flame maple top backed by a Charcoal Burst finish and bright perimeter binding. Glued to the mahogany neck with a set-thru construction, i.e. a neck recessed deeper into the body, is an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-two Extra Jumbo stainless steel frets. Orientation on the fingerboard surface is facilitated by position blocks and an ESP inlay on the twelfth fret.
Two active Fishman Fluence Modern humbuckers with ceramic and Alnico magnets provide the guitar with a great dynamic sound (without any accompanying noise) with precise articulation of individual notes/chords and, if needed, a sufficient amount of punch/aggressiveness. The Push/Pull function of the tone control allows you to switch between voicings - the guitar's sonic arsenal is thus much wider than it might at first appear. A three-position pickup switch completes the controls as standard.
The strings are anchored by Gotoh locking tuning machines and a Floyd Rose Original SE tremolo, which you can use to add impressive sound effects to your playing. Locks on the zero fret ensure maximum tuning stability even with frequent use of the lever. The guitar comes in a case.
ESP has been manufacturing electric guitars since 1984 and its satisfied customers include Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield, Ronnie Wood and Max Cavalera.
