Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with maple cap and set mahogany neck give this Eclipse a thick midrange and sustain, while the ebony fingerboard and 24.75" scale keep note attack crisp without losing warmth. The EMG HET SET active pickups push that foundation into tight, high-gain territory with controlled low end and clear note separation, so palm-muted riffing and fast lead runs stay defined under heavy distortion. It's aimed squarely at modern metal, hard rock, and heavy progressive playing, with the TonePros locking bridge and Gotoh locking tuners holding pitch through aggressive picking and low tunings.
ESP Eclipse Custom Electric Guitar Silver Liquid Metal Burst
The ESP Eclipse Custom delivers the refined playability and balanced weight distribution that define this iconic single-cutaway design. Its set-neck construction with thin U neck contour sits naturally in the hand, while the 24.75" scale and 305mm fingerboard radius create a responsive, articulate playing surface across all registers. Hand-crafted by ESP's master luthiers in Japan, this guitar combines meticulous construction with premium materials throughout—ideal for tracking and overdubbing in the studio with consistent feel and precision.
Playability & Construction
Built with a mahogany body and maple cap joined to a Honduras mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard, the Eclipse Custom provides structural integrity and tonal consistency essential for capturing clean, focused takes. The 22 XJ frets paired with a graphite nut and 42mm nut width ensure stable intonation across sessions and punch-ins, while Gotoh locking tuners and a TonePros locking TOM bridge with Gotoh tailpiece maintain tuning stability for seamless multi-take recording without drift.
Tone & Electronics
The EMG HET SET active pickups in both neck and bridge positions deliver clarity and punch with tight attack and clean low end—a combination that cuts through mixes with definition and sits naturally in dense production arrangements. The active electronics layout with dual volume, tone, and toggle switch controls provides responsive dynamics and tonal shaping for quick session adjustments, while the included Elixir Nanoweb Light strings (.010–.046) are already installed for immediate recording readiness.
