Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and set-thru mahogany neck give this Eclipse a thick, sustaining low-mid foundation, while the quilted maple cap and ebony fingerboard add tightness and attack to the top end. The EMG 81 in the bridge delivers focused, high-gain clarity for rhythm chugs and cutting leads, and the EMG 60 in the neck stays articulate and defined rather than muddy under heavy distortion. With a 24.75" scale, extra-jumbo frets and a thin U neck, it suits metal, hard rock and modern heavy styles that call for fast playing and a tight, aggressive voice.
ESP E-II Eclipse QM STBCSB See Through Black Cherry Sunburst Quilted Maple Electric Guitar
The E-II Eclipse QM sits comfortably in the hand with its set-neck construction and thin U neck contour, making extended tracking sessions feel effortless. The 24.75" scale and 22 extra-jumbo frets give you quick access across the entire fingerboard for layered parts and detailed edits, while the quilted maple top with white multi-binding captures light beautifully on camera during live-stream recording or video documentation. Built for players who need both playability and sonic authority in the studio.
Construction & Recording Stability
Handcrafted at ESP's Tokyo factory, the Eclipse QM pairs a mahogany body and one-piece mahogany neck through set-thru construction—a design that maximizes sustain and resonance for tight, focused recordings. The ebony fingerboard with extra-jumbo frets resists wear through intensive session work and delivers responsive feel under aggressive tracking, while the bone nut and thin U neck contour keep you comfortable across multiple takes. The Gotoh locking tuners and Gotoh TOM bridge with tailpiece hold intonation rock-solid through punch-ins, overdubs, and long mixing-session reference sessions.
Tone & Mix Integration
The EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60 neck pickups produce articulate, high-gain clarity with balanced mid-range definition—tonal characteristics that cut through dense arrangements and sit naturally in mix contexts. Electronics include two volume controls, one tone control, and a three-way toggle switch—a straightforward signal path that gives you fast tonal options without signal loss or unnecessary complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock indicates this E-II Eclipse QM is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections from inventory handling and display. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. You receive the same Japanese-made quality and performance as a new unit at a discounted price, with full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Is this guitar suited for drop tunings and aggressive styles?
Yes. The 24.75-inch scale, set-thru neck construction, and extra-jumbo frets are engineered for metal, hard rock, and progressive playing. The EMG 81 bridge pickup excels at maintaining articulate clarity and punch in drop tunings, while the mahogany body and one-piece neck deliver the sustain and resonance aggressive playing demands.
How does the neck feel compared to typical Stratocaster or Les Paul shapes?
The thin U neck contour sits naturally in hand and optimizes both comfort and responsiveness during extended sessions. Combined with the 22 extra-jumbo frets and ebony fingerboard, it prioritizes access and feel under fast, aggressive playing over a traditional rounded profile.
What pickups are installed and can they be swapped?
The guitar ships with EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 60 (neck) active pickups. Both are industry-standard high-output designs that deliver balanced mid-range and responsive dynamics. EMG pickups are soldered in place and can be replaced by a qualified technician if needed in the future.
Will this guitar hold tuning during a full set or recording session?
Yes. The Gotoh locking tuners and Gotoh TOM bridge with tailpiece ensure rock-solid tuning stability across extended sessions. The one-piece mahogany neck and set-thru construction further support consistent intonation and sustain.
