The Epitome of ESP's Eclipse Formula
Built in Japan by ESP’s master luthiers, the E-II Eclipse DB represents the brand’s high-power single-cut at its most elegant and luxurious. The classic Eclipse body is made from a mahogany slab capped with maple, supplying you with an all-time classic tonal foundation that’s dense in sustain and depth. Under the hood, dual EMG active humbuckers contrast the E-II Eclipse DB’s refined aesthetics with screaming, high-power humbucking sonics that retain complete clarity no matter how high you heap on the gain. You also get a 1-piece mahogany neck with a Thin U profile, an ebony fingerboard, and 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets, ensuring peak performance and playability. Lastly, top-notch touches like the Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners and Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece provide performance you can count on day in, day out.

Active EMG pickups deliver turbocharged PAF tone
While they certainly excel in metal-minded environments, the E-II Eclipse DB’s EMG active humbuckers are championed by a genre-defying array of Sweetwater's performing and recording guitarists for their sonic flexibility. Together, the combination of an EMG 81 in the bridge and an EMG 60 at the neck captures the warmth and complexity of vintage PAFs, only with a far hotter output. These high-power humbuckers grant you characteristic PAF honk and chest-pounding body that metal and hard rock players have turned to since the genre’s early era, with all the high-output intensity you need to blast through any mix.
Eclipse body style blends classic looks with modern performance
Nothing screams "hard rock" like ESP's timeless Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the E-II Eclipse DB truly epic sustain, and a slightly arched top provides comfortable hand positioning, no matter your picking style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you open access to the upper frets, and you're ready to shred with the E-II Eclipse DB.
Top-of-the-line ESP quality
ESP started as a manufacturer of aftermarket guitar parts in Japan in the late 1970s. By the mid-’80s, ESP was making custom guitars for some of the biggest names in rock. An exacting eye toward playability and craftsmanship has made ESP one of the most prevalent guitar brands in rock and metal. The company's commitment to quality is second to none, and its impressive roster of endorsers proves it. From George Lynch and Ron Wood to Stephen Carpenter and Kirk Hammett, ESP makes the guitars that guitar heroes use.
