ESP LTD Eclipse 87 NT Electric Guitar in Rainbow Crackle Finish

ESP LTD Eclipse '87 NT Electric Guitar in Rainbow Crackle Finish

The LTD Eclipse '87 NT delivers the ergonomic comfort and vintage character of ESP's original 1987 designs. Its neck-thru-body construction with a thin U contour creates a fast, responsive playing experience, while the TE archtop body shape sits naturally and balanced. The striking Rainbow Crackle finish pairs timeless aesthetics with a guitar built to exacting specs for players who value authenticity and performance.

Construction & Playability

Built with neck-thru-body construction featuring a mahogany body and three-piece maple neck, this guitar offers superior sustain and tonal resonance. The Macassar ebony fingerboard with a 350mm radius and 24 extra-jumbo frets on a 24.75" scale supports both aggressive playing styles and precise intonation, while the 42mm nut width and thin U neck contour ensure comfortable access across the fretboard.

Tone & Electronics

The Seymour Duncan '59 (neck) and JB (bridge) pickups with original-style bobbins deliver classic warmth and articulation, while the push/pull coil-split control unlocks versatile single-coil tones from both positions. The passive electronics layout (volume/tone with push-pull/toggle switch) paired with TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, LTD locking tuners, and black hardware ensure stable tuning and reliable performance.
