ESP E-II Eclipse DB Lefty Guitar Green Sparkle
Description
ESP E-II Eclipse DB Lefty Guitar in Green Sparkle
The thin U-shaped mahogany neck on this left-handed E-II Eclipse DB sits perfectly in hand for fast technical runs and extended soloing, while the set-neck construction and ebony fingerboard yield the sustain and harmonic responsiveness that cut through on stage. Hand-crafted at ESP's Tokyo factory, this guitar pairs premium materials with meticulous attention to detail—the satin-finished neck back glides under your hand during long sets, and the overall build translates studio-quality tones directly to live venues and recording sessions with zero fret-out or tuning drift.
Tone & Electronics
EMG 66TW (neck) and EMG 57TW (bridge) active pickups cover the full spectrum—from transparent, articulate cleans through thick, saturated high-gain—without muddiness. Each pickup features coil-splitting via push-pull controls, letting you toggle between humbucker punch and single-coil snap mid-performance. The controls sit where your hands naturally rest: bridge volume, neck volume, tone, and toggle switch all laid out for intuitive, eyes-free switching on stage.
Construction & Hardware
The mahogany body with maple cap and set-neck construction create a resonant, acoustically tight platform that holds sustain without feedback. High-end hardware—Gotoh locking tuners, Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece, bone nut, and black nickel hardware—keeps tuning locked in through a full set. The guitar ships strung with Elixir Nanoweb Light strings and packed in an ESP hardshell form-fitting case built to protect your investment on the road.
