ESP E-II Eclipse QM Tiger Eye Sunburst Guitar B-Stock 6435
Description
ESP E-II Eclipse QM Tiger Eye Sunburst Guitar B-Stock 6435
The ESP E-II Eclipse QM captures full-bodied, articulate recordings with its set-thru construction and balanced tone—critical for tracking through high-gain or clean chains in any session. The satin-finished mahogany neck and thin U contour enable precise fretting during extended technical passages, while the Japanese craftsmanship and premium aesthetics—a stunning quilted maple top in Tiger Eye Sunburst with black multi-ply binding—yield a recording instrument that translates well across mixing and layering workflows. Professional-grade hardware and electronics engineered for stability ensure consistent, reproducible tones across multiple takes.
Recording Playability & Construction
Set-thru construction maximizes sustain and body resonance, delivering extended note decay ideal for sustained rhythm parts and lead lines in the mix. Upper fret access to all 22 frets remains comfortable, crucial for complex arrangements and session overdubs. The 24.75″ scale and thin U neck contour encourage fast, accurate playing during tracking sessions, while the ebony fingerboard with 305mm radius and XJ stainless steel frets ensures durability and precision across multiple recording days. The bone nut and 42mm nut width provide balanced string spacing, critical for clean tracking and consistent intonation.
Studio Tone & Tracking Versatility
Direct-mounted Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers—ceramic in the bridge position and alnico in the neck—deliver dual-voice capability via push-pull tone control, enabling instant switching between heavy distortion layers and organic, articulate clean tones in a single session. The active electronics layout (bridge volume/neck volume/tone with push-pull/toggle switch) grants precise gain staging and character control, accommodating brutal high-gain rhythm tracks, nuanced lead work, and dynamic clean parts without resorting to separate instruments or mid-session gear swaps.
