Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with maple cap and 24.75" scale give this Eclipse a thick, warm midrange core with added brightness and attack on top, while the ebony fingerboard and set-thru construction tighten the note definition and extend sustain. Fishman Fluence Classic humbuckers in both positions keep things articulate and low-noise, staying focused under high gain while the neck pickup handles smoother lead and clean work. Paired with the EverTune bridge for locked-in pitch, it suits modern rock and metal rhythm playing, drop and alternate tunings, and layered studio tracking where intonation consistency matters.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EverTune bridge, and why does it matter?
The EverTune is a constant-tension bridge that maintains perfect intonation and tuning stability regardless of playing dynamics, string bending, or environmental changes. This eliminates tuning drift during extended sessions and aggressive playing, making it invaluable for studio work and live scenarios where stopping to retune is not an option.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock, or does it work across genres?
This guitar is purpose-built for metal, hard rock, and progressive styles—the Fishman Fluence pickups excel at high-gain clarity, and the articulate, focused tone with minimal noise is ideal for modern production. It is not designed for folk, jazz, or worship applications.
What skill level do I need to play this guitar effectively?
This guitar is built for intermediate to professional players. The thin U-profile neck and extra-jumbo frets are fast and responsive, but they reward solid technique; the EverTune bridge and active pickups are professional-grade features that work best in the hands of experienced players.
What is included with the purchase?
The guitar includes an ESP deluxe hardshell case for protection and transport. It ships with Gotoh locking tuners, a bone nut, and Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker pickups pre-installed and ready to play.
How does the thin U-profile neck feel compared to other designs?
The thin U-profile neck combines fast fretwork and upper-fret access with natural ergonomics for both lead and rhythm playing. The 24.75" scale and 305mm fingerboard radius with extra-jumbo frets minimize finger fatigue on bends and sustained notes, even during long sessions.
