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 Eclipse EC-256 epic sustain colored by the rich character of mahogany. The EC-256’s roasted jatoba fingerboard delivers speedy comfort similar to the fast, energizing presence of rosewood. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you access to the EC-256's upper frets, and you're ready for unobstructed playing freedom. What’s more, the EC-256 has a slightly arched top, a premium design perk that keeps hand positioning comfortable, no matter your picking style.
This set-neck makes a difference
The set-in mahogany neck on the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256 provides a resonant connection to the body. With a neck joint that’s virtually seamless, the EC-256 howls with a fast attack and singing sustain — perfect pairings for articulate leads, massive power chords, and more. Plug in the Eclipse EC-256, turn your amplifier up, and you’ll see exactly what we mean. Lastly, the EC-256’s neck boasts an ultra-rugged multi-piece mahogany design. A favorite among Sweetwater's techs and performers alike, multi-piece neck designs offer enhanced stability that’s of vital importance when traveling between gigs and rehearsals.
