Description
Sound & Tone
The mahogany body and neck-thru 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. Seymour Duncan '59 and JB pickups cover classic humbucker territory: a rounded, singing neck tone for leads and a hot, aggressive bridge with the cutting treble bite that defined 1980s hard rock and metal, with the push-pull coil split thinning things out for cleaner rhythm work. With a Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo and light .009 gauge strings, it's aimed at shredders and divebomb-heavy lead players who still want a passive, direct signal path.
ESP LTD Eclipse '87 Electric Guitar in Rainbow Crackle Finish
The ESP LTD Eclipse '87 captures the lightweight responsiveness and fast playability that made ESP's original 1987 designs studio and stage staples. Its thin U neck contour and 24.75" scale settle into your hands naturally during long sets, while the neck-thru-body construction ensures the sustain and resonance needed to cut through a mix. The striking Rainbow Crackle finish pairs classic archtop TE-inspired body lines with visuals that command attention on stage and in the room.
In Your Hands: Playability & Build
Neck-thru-body construction using mahogany and a three-piece maple neck delivers the stability and singing sustain that rewards aggressive playing and dynamic control. The thin U neck contour combined with a 42mm nut width and 350mm fingerboard radius sits comfortably in your grip across hours of rehearsal and performance, while the 24 XJ frets on Macassar Ebony ensure smooth fingering and reliable intonation from the open strings through the highest register.
Through the Amp: Tone & Electronics
The Seymour Duncan '59 neck and JB bridge pickups with original-style bobbins deliver the articulate midrange punch and aggressive treble response that defined 1980s high-output design. A push-pull coil-split control on the tone knob expands your tonal palette from thick and saturated to clear and chimey, while the passive electronics layout (Volume/Tone/Toggle Switch) keeps signal integrity intact on its way to the Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo for reliable performance night after night.
