ESP LTD Eclipse 87 Electric Guitar in Rainbow Crackle Finish

ESP LTD Eclipse '87 Electric Guitar in Rainbow Crackle Finish

The ESP LTD Eclipse '87 delivers the lightweight responsiveness and fast playability that defined ESP's original 1987 catalog designs. Its thin U neck contour and 24.75" scale make this a genuinely comfortable instrument for extended sessions, while the neck-thru-body construction provides excellent sustain and resonance. The striking Rainbow Crackle finish is paired with classic archtop TE-inspired body lines that stand out both visually and sonically.

Playability & Construction

Built with neck-thru-body construction using a mahogany body and three-piece maple neck, this guitar offers superior stability and sustain. The thin U neck contour combined with a 42mm nut width and 350mm fingerboard radius creates an accessible playing platform, while the 24 XJ frets on a Macassar Ebony fingerboard provide smooth action and precise intonation across the range.

Tone & Electronics

The classic Seymour Duncan '59 neck and JB bridge pickups with original-style bobbins deliver articulate midrange and explosive treble response typical of 1980s design philosophy. A push-pull coil-split control on the tone knob expands sonic flexibility, while the passive electronics layout (Volume/Tone/Toggle Switch) keeps the signal path direct and transparent through the Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo.
