Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and neck-through maple neck give this Eclipse a thick, sustaining midrange, while the macassar ebony fingerboard and 24.75" scale keep notes tight and warm rather than brittle. A Seymour Duncan '59 in the neck handles smooth, vocal leads and rounded clean tones, and the JB in the bridge pushes hard into crunch and high-gain territory with an aggressive upper-mid bite; the push-pull coil-split thins things out for cleaner, more single-coil-flavored passages. With a Floyd Rose-1000 and 24 extra jumbo frets, it lands squarely in hard rock and metal lead playing, though the pickup pair covers classic rock and blues-rock voicings too.
ESP LTD Eclipse '87 Electric Guitar Pearl White B-Stock
The Eclipse '87 channels the archtop single-cutaway character that defined ESP's original 1987 design, delivering a comfortable thin U neck contour and 24.75" scale that sits naturally in hand. This neck-through construction guitar balances vintage aesthetics with modern playability, making it an authentic recreation of a historically significant design—ideal for tracking sessions where both comfort and tonal authenticity matter.
Recording & Tonal Character
A 3-piece maple neck paired with a mahogany body creates solid sustain and resonance across the instrument. The macassar ebony fingerboard features a 350mm radius, 24 extra jumbo frets, and a 42mm locking nut width—all tuned for smooth playability and reliable intonation stability, especially with the Floyd Rose-1000 locking tremolo system. This rock-solid tuning platform is critical for multi-take sessions and maintaining pitch through pitch-bend effects in the mix.
Pickup Configuration & Studio Versatility
The Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup deliver the classic voicing this era demanded—warm, articulate neck tones that sit well with keyboards and vocals, paired with aggressive bridge bite that cuts through dense arrangements. Passive electronics with coil-split capability via push-pull control give you tonal flexibility without added complexity, letting you dial in everything from smooth, mellow rhythm textures to bright, punchy lead voicings without leaving your desk.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean?
B-Stock means this guitar is fully functional and backed by the complete manufacturer warranty, but features minor cosmetic imperfections from warehouse handling and display. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
Is this guitar suitable for metal and hard rock?
Yes. The Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup delivers aggressive bite, the Floyd Rose-1000 locking tremolo provides reliable tuning stability during heavy use, and the neck-through construction offers solid sustain—all core requirements for metal and hard-rock gigging and recording.
What pickup flexibility does the coil-split offer?
The push-pull coil-split control on the bridge pickup lets you toggle between full humbucker aggression and single-coil articulation, giving you tonal range from warm rhythm tones to cutting lead tones without swapping guitars.
How does the neck feel compared to modern shredder guitars?
The thin U contour and 24.75" scale (shorter than modern 25.5" standards) create a comfortable, fast-playing feel that sits naturally in hand. The 24 extra-jumbo frets and 350mm radius fingerboard support both smooth bends and articulate single-note work across all skill levels.
What's included with the guitar?
The Eclipse '87 comes equipped with a Floyd Rose-1000 locking tremolo, LTD locking tuners, Seymour Duncan pickups, and chrome hardware. No case or accessories are specified in the product details.
