ESP E-II Eclipse Burl Maple Guitar Blue Natural Fade B-Stock
The E-II Eclipse tracks with precision and responsiveness across rhythm and lead parts, thanks to its slim Thin-U neck contour and 24.75" scale. Set-Thru construction delivers extended upper-fret access and resonant sustain that captures detail in dense mixes, while the hand-selected burled maple top in Blue Natural Fade provides visual character without sonic compromise. Built at ESP's Japan factory to exacting standards, this guitar is engineered for recording professionals who demand uncompromising tone, playability, and craftsmanship.
Recording Playability & Construction
The Set-Thru mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets create a fast, smooth playing surface that maintains consistency across multiple takes and session work. A 305mm fingerboard radius and 42mm bone nut ensure balanced string action and responsive articulation across the entire neck, while Gotoh locking tuners and premium Black Nickel hardware keep the guitar locked in tune through long studio sessions.
Recording Tone & Electronics
The EMG 57TW bridge and 66TW neck pickups capture articulate, modern tones with full active clarity that cuts and sits cleanly in dense mixes, and both volume knobs feature push-pull coil-splitting for expanded sonic range—from thick humbucking low-end to single-coil definition that works across genres. A Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece combined with the mahogany body and burled maple top produces focused sustain with natural harmonic complexity, delivering versatile tracking characteristics suited to heavy riffs and nuanced layering alike.
