Classic Single-cut Looks, Hard and Heavy Modern Sound
If you've ever played an instrument from ESP's E-II line, you know firsthand just how right these guitars feel. By combining a vintage single-cut body design with electronics and appointments geared for the modern player, the ESP E-II Eclipse Electric Guitar sits understandably towards the top of one of ESP's flagship series. The mahogany body and Thin "U"-shaped neck pair together beautifully, blending warmth, resonance, and durability made to last for generations. Hard rock and metal players love a bit of extra bite from their instrument, and the E-II Eclipse's maple top pushes this 6-string into prime territory for delivering distorted aggression. Its pair of high-powered EMG active humbuckers are ideal for dishing out low-tuned chugs and molten leads with ease, with push-pull options on the volume and tone controls for even greater sonic versatility. Top it off with Gotoh locking tuners with matching TOM bridge and trusty Dunlop locking strap buttons, and you get a class-act killer axe tailor-made for today's most demanding players.

Hard-rocking tonewood combination
ESP has been crafting some of metal's finest instruments for nearly a half-century. The E-II Eclipse continues this tradition, utilizing a classic tonewood combination to reveal its forceful presence and commanding sound. A mahogany body sits at its core, imbuing warmth and resonance into the E-II Eclipse, with a maple top to brighten the overall tone and add some serious snarl. Sweetwater shredders love ESP's world-class Thin "U" neck profile, a feature that makes this axe incredibly difficult to put down. Capped with a fast-playing ebony fingerboard, the E-II Eclipse's endlessly sustaining and rock-solid mahogany neck sports the perfect recipe for finger-twisting solos and effortless 6-string sweeps.
Searing pair of EMG humbuckers with plenty of versatility
Power. Clarity. Aggression. As tried-and-true active pickups for all forms of rock and metal, EMG humbuckers achieve all this and so much more. The E-II Eclipse is equipped with an EMG 57TW in the bridge and a 66TW in the neck, providing an excellent balance of warmth and grit. The 57TW in the bridge is built using steel pole pieces to expand both the midrange and low end, while the ceramic pole pieces of the 66TW pump out clear and crisp highs. This pickup combination is anything but a one-trick pony; it's capable of everything from shimmering, glassy cleans and vintage PAF tones when paired with push-pull knobs on the volume and tone controls.
