Description
ESP LTD Eclipse '87 NT Electric Guitar Pearl White B-Stock
The Eclipse '87 NT is built on a neck-thru design that feels rock-solid in your hands—seamless upper-fret access, thick sustain, and the balanced weight distribution that made this 1987 platform a stage workhorse. The thin U neck contour and 42mm nut width suit both players after that authentic '80s feel and anyone who needs a comfortable, reliable platform for gigging and touring. This Pearl White B-stock unit carries the same build quality and hardware as new stock, at a clear price advantage.
Construction & Playability
Neck-thru-body mahogany construction with a three-piece maple neck delivers the rigidity and direct tone transmission that holds up night after night on the road. The 24.75" scale, 24 XJ-type frets, and Macassar Ebony fingerboard with 350mm radius nail the classic feel and intonation geometry that defined ESP's mid-'80s designs. Chrome hardware and LTD locking tuners keep you locked in tune through extended sets, with zero creep or drift.
Tone & Live Reliability
The Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and JB bridge pickup pairing handles everything from clean articulation to saturated overdrive, with original-style bobbins and push-pull coil-splitting for on-the-fly tonal range. Passive electronics keep the signal path transparent and the controls dead-simple—volume/tone (push/pull) and toggle switch—so you can focus on playing, not troubleshooting. The TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece lock your intonation in place and eliminate string slippage during hard play.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-Stock mean for this guitar?
B-Stock means this Eclipse '87 NT is fully functional with the same construction and hardware as new inventory, but features minor cosmetic imperfections such as light scratches and surface marks on the body. These marks are purely superficial and have zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity.
How does the neck-thru design affect sustain and playability?
The mahogany body and three-piece maple neck-thru construction ensures direct energy transfer for sustained resonance, while the thin U-contour and 24-fret layout with 350mm radius fingerboard provide comfortable upper-fret access and classic '80s feel. The 24.75" scale and 42mm nut width deliver approachable intonation and vintage specs without compromise.
What pickup configuration does this guitar have, and can I split coils?
The guitar features a Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and JB bridge pickup with push-pull coil-splitting capability on the tone control, giving you articulate cleans, balanced midrange, and aggressive overdriven tones all from the same instrument. Passive electronics keep the signal path straightforward and reliable.
Will the tuning stay stable during gigging or long sessions?
Yes—the LTD locking tuners paired with the TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece ensure reliable tuning hold and reduced string slippage, making this guitar dependable for live performance and extended studio work.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The Eclipse '87 NT is designed for hard rock, rock, blues, studio sessions, and gigging—its tone profile and comfortable neck make it less ideal for punk or folk styles. The balanced midrange and sustained resonance work well for players who want vintage character with contemporary hardware reliability.
