ESP E-II ECLIPSE FT EVERTUNE BLK guitar
Description
ESP E-II Eclipse FT EverTune - Black
The E-II Eclipse FT EverTune captures articulate, focused tones in the studio with its thin U-profile neck and set-thru construction that enables effortless upper-fret access during overdubs and lead tracking. The Full Thickness mahogany body paired with a maple cap produces a distinctive tonal character that sits well in dense mixes, while the EverTune bridge eliminates tuning drift entirely—critical for multi-take sessions, alternate tunings, and maintaining intonation consistency across tracking hours. Built at ESP's Japanese factory, this is a professional-grade instrument engineered for precision recording and studio reliability.
Tracking & Performance
The 24.75" scale with 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fingerboard (305mm radius) provides responsive play with reduced finger fatigue during extended tracking sessions and complex articulation work. The bone nut at 42mm width offers traditional sustain characteristics while the thin U neck contour facilitates both lead and rhythm tracking without hand strain, supporting long studio hours and detailed part refinement.
Studio Tone & Signal Path
Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker active pickups in both neck and bridge positions deliver articulate, focused tones with minimal noise—ideal for capturing clean signal to tape and maintaining clarity through compression and effects chains. The EverTune constant tension bridge maintains perfect intonation and tuning stability regardless of playing dynamics, room temperature shifts, or aggressive string bending, eliminating a primary source of tonal inconsistency across punch-ins and session continuity.
