ESP - USA Eclipse See Thru Black Sunburst + Étui

This ESP USA Eclipse comes with a See Thru Black Sunburst finish that reveals the dapple maple grain in a deep black hue. Visually, it's a sober but well-crafted piece, with a marked contrast between the table and the black fittings.

The mahogany body provides a solid base, with present bass and a certain roundness, while the maple top tightens the sound to keep the attack precise. It's the kind of combination that works well when you want a sound that's both dense and legible.

The glued mahogany neck, with its Thin U profile, is slim enough to maintain speed without sacrificing comfort. The ebony fingerboard adds to this feeling of clarity under the fingers, especially on clean attacks or fast passages. With its 22 Jescar frets and 305 mm radius, you can move easily from chords to leads without question. The 610 mm scale gives a softer tension, making bends more natural and vibratos easier to control.

In terms of sound, the Fishman Fluence Modern pickups clearly orientate the guitar towards modern registers. The Alnico neck pickup retains clarity for leads or more laid-back sounds, while the ceramic bridge adds more impact for saturated riffs. It works really well in rock and metal, but also in modern styles where you need precision with gain.

The two volumes, tone control and 3-position selector let you quickly adjust your sound. And with Gotoh's locking tuners and Tonepros bridge, you'll stay stable whether you're rehearsing or on stage. The hard-shell case provided makes for secure transport, which is quite appropriate for a guitar of this level.
