Player's Perspective
The USA-made Eclipse guitars from ESP are really some of slickest guitars we've played in a while. This one is a very very limited run (only 15 made!) and you won't find any other Eclipse's that look like this. But this is a lot more than just an Eclipse in a different color. You can tell that every tiny little detail on this is just immaculate. The precision and crafstmanship on this axe is out of this world.
You can sense how special this guitar is before you even get it plugged in. It's easy to feel the body and neck resonate as you play, creating a very connected musical experience. The neck is comfortable and just thick enough in all the right places, which along with the 24.75" scale makes for a slinky, smooth feel. If you're a bender, you're going to love the way this guitar plays. Bends just kind of happen when you need them with minimal effort, and expressive vibratos are always at your fingertips. The sound is hot and searing, perfect for heavier rock and metal. Throw on some heavy gain, and you've got one of the best sounding axes you can find. The build quality on this one is off the charts. Immaculate construction is not a hyperbolic description of this guitar. It truly is stunningly impressive.
Special Features
This guitar is for the player who's ready for an axe that can stand up to every gig, day after day, year after year. We don't come across instruments that are this well built very often. This thing's going to be wailing, staying in tune and still looking cool decades down the line.

Shipping Policy Details
In most cases we ship new orders out within 1 business day of receiving payment. Here are some things to note:
- An indirect signature will be required upon delivery for all transactions over $250. If you would like to require a signature on a transaction of less than $250, please request it when you place your order.
- Your order must ship to the billing address associated with your credit card, PayPal, or other method of payment. If you need to use a shipping address that differs from your billing address, feel free to contact a Music Store Live Gear Expert and we can help you out.
- If you want the shipment to be held at a shipping company hub it is your responsibility to make those arrangements directly with the shipping company. If you’d like it held at a local FedEx facility, for example, please provide us with the full address of that facility before your order is shipped. This works out better than trying to re-route it once it’s in transit.
- We do not insure packages valued under $3,000. If you would like to add insurance for delivery please request it when requesting your order. Whether you choose to or not, we will still assume all of the responsibility in getting your item to you safely.
