ESP's Eclipse body style blends classic looks with modern performance
Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's timeless Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the E-II Eclipse truly epic sustain, whereas its slightly arched top provides you with comfortable hand positioning, no matter your picking style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you open access to the E-II Eclipse's upper frets, and you're totally ready to shred.
Aggressive modern tone from dual EMG active humbucking pickups
The E-II Eclipse comes equipped with an EMG 60 humbucker in the neck position, voiced for "classic-thick" tone. It's a great pickup for warmer tone that remains articulate and defined. The EMG 81 at the bridge position gives you the classic EMG sound — detailed and aggressive, with rich sustain. Between these two pickups, you'll cover the sonic range from mellow to maniacal.
