ESP E-II ECLIPSE FT EVERTUNE BLK guitar
Description
ESP E-II Eclipse FT EverTune - Black
The E-II Eclipse FT EverTune delivers a balanced, comfortable playing experience with its thin U-profile neck and set-thru construction that promotes seamless upper-fret access. This Full Thickness mahogany body paired with a maple cap produces a distinctive tonal character, while the EverTune bridge eliminates tuning drift entirely—critical for gigging musicians who need absolute stability across extended sets and tuning experimentation without fighting intonation issues. Built at ESP's Japanese factory, this is a professional-grade instrument engineered for both precision and road reliability.
Playability & Feel
The 24.75" scale with 22 extra-jumbo stainless steel frets on an ebony fingerboard (305mm radius) provides fast, responsive play with reduced finger fatigue on bends and sustained notes. The bone nut at 42mm width offers traditional sustain characteristics while the thin U neck contour sits naturally in your hands for both lead work and rhythm playing without hand strain, even during back-to-back performances or extended rehearsals.
Tone & Electronics
Fishman Fluence Classic Humbucker active pickups in both neck and bridge positions deliver articulate, focused tones with minimal noise—ideal for cutting through a live mix and handling high-gain applications on stage. The EverTune constant tension bridge maintains perfect intonation and tuning stability regardless of playing dynamics, environmental changes, or aggressive string bending, eliminating a primary source of tonal inconsistency in traditional designs and keeping your tone locked in from soundcheck to final bow.
