ESP E-II Eclipse QM STBCSB See Through Black Cherry Sunburst Quilted Maple Electric Guitar
The E-II Eclipse QM is engineered for controlled, articulate recording and mixing versatility. Its set-thru construction and carefully voiced electronics produce balanced, resonant tones that sit naturally in dense arrangements. The See Through Black Cherry Sunburst finish over quilted maple provides genuine visual depth, while the 24.75" scale and satin-finished one-piece maple neck deliver a fast, responsive surface that captures both precision detail work and aggressive dynamics in the studio. This B-stock example offers excellent value for recording engineers and producers seeking a dependable platform without compromise on core construction.
Playability & Recording Response
The set-thru neck design and 305 mm fretboard radius yield solid sustain and predictable string response across the fretboard, translating to clean, repeatable tracking takes. 22 XJ extra-jumbo stainless steel frets provide durable playing surfaces with minimal maintenance, while the 42 mm nut and satin maple neck ensure fast hand positioning and reduced friction during extended recording sessions.
Tone & Studio Circuitry
The pairing of EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60 neck pickup delivers articulate highs and muscular midrange that cut through dense mixes while maintaining tonal definition across rock, metal, and fusion productions. The mahogany body with quilted maple top adds natural warmth and resonance to the active pickup response, complementing the clarity of both pickups in multi-tracked arrangements. The Gotoh T.O.M. bridge and locking tuners ensure rock-solid intonation stability and minimal tuning drift across long sessions, critical for maintaining phase coherence and tuning accuracy in the DAW.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is B-Stock, and does it affect playability?
B-Stock means the guitar is fully functional with minor cosmetic imperfections—in this case, a clear coat run and shrinkage on the back body and a tape mark at the cutout binding. These marks are purely cosmetic and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. The guitar carries the complete manufacturer warranty and is identical in performance to new units.
What genres is this guitar best suited for?
The Eclipse QM excels in metal, hard rock, fusion, and progressive music. Its articulate highs, muscular midrange, and extended sustain make it less ideal for jazz, blues, or folk contexts.
How does the 24.75-inch scale affect playability?
The 24.75-inch scale provides traditional string tension and feel while the 305 mm (12-inch) fretboard radius and 22 XJ extra-jumbo stainless steel frets yield fast, predictable string response across the fretboard. The 42 mm nut width and satin-finished neck reduce friction during fast playing and extended sessions.
What pickups are included, and how do they sound?
The guitar features an EMG 81 bridge pickup and EMG 60 neck pickup—a classic active pairing that delivers articulate highs and tight, controlled midrange. The mahogany body with quilted maple top adds natural warmth and resonance to the active response.
Does this guitar stay in tune during live performance?
Yes. The Gotoh locking tuners and Gotoh T.O.M. bridge/tailpiece combination ensures rock-solid intonation stability with minimal tuning drift during performances.
