ESP LTD Eclipse '87 NT Electric Guitar in Turquoise (B-Stock)
The LTD Eclipse '87 NT captures the sonic character of ESP's mid-'80s designs through neck-through construction and a thin U contour that delivers both comfort and precise fret articulation for studio tracking. This turquoise-finished recreation honors the original TE archtop architecture while integrating modern hardware and electronics to maximize recording versatility and sustain consistency.
Construction & Studio Performance
Neck-thru-body construction pairs a 3-piece maple neck with a mahogany body to achieve extended sustain and rich resonance ideal for layering in the mix, while the thin U contour and 42mm molded nut enable fast, accurate session work across the 24-fret macassar ebony fingerboard. The 350mm fingerboard radius supports modern recording technique without compromising the instrument's classic tonal foundation.
Tone & Recording Electronics
A Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup with original-style bobbins establish this guitar's recording voice—warm and controlled in the neck position for rhythm work, aggressive and articulate at the bridge for lead definition. The push/pull coil-split control expands your session palette from full-bodied rhythm tones to single-coil transparency, all routed through passive electronics with volume, tone, and three-way toggle switch for straightforward tracking and mixing integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-stock mean for this guitar?
B-stock means the guitar is fully functional with zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. This specific unit carries minor cosmetic imperfections from warehouse handling and display—purely superficial marks that don't affect performance. You still receive complete manufacturer warranty coverage.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The Eclipse '87 NT excels in hard rock, metal, rock, and blues. Its aggressive bridge pickup and coil-split versatility make it ideal for gain-heavy riffs and dynamic soloing, though its warm neck position and articulate voice work well across multiple rock-adjacent styles.
How does the coil-split control expand the tone?
The push/pull coil-split on the volume pot lets you switch from the thick, full humbucker sound to single-coil clarity on either pickup. This adds harmonic range without changing guitars, useful for everything from heavy riffs to cleaner, more articulate passages.
Is the neck comfortable for extended playing sessions?
Yes. The thin U contour balances comfort with finger definition at the frets, and the 42mm molded nut supports proper hand positioning. The 350mm fingerboard radius delivers a modern playing feel while keeping the classic character intact.
How does this compare to other ESP LTD models?
The Eclipse '87 NT sits in the sweet spot between the EC-1000 and E-II Eclipse—it offers the E-II's construction quality and authentic '87 heritage at a lower price point, with locking hardware and professional pickups that match or exceed the EC-1000's reliability.
