Description
ESP LTD Eclipse '87 NT Electric Guitar in Turquoise (B-Stock)
The LTD Eclipse '87 NT is a neck-through workhorse built for gigging and studio work. Its thin U contour sits naturally in the hand, while the classic TE archtop body shape delivers the sustain and articulation that defined ESP's mid-'80s designs. Modern hardware and a proven pickup set make this guitar reliable on any stage, with enough tonal character to earn its place in a serious player's arsenal.
Construction & Playability
Neck-thru-body construction pairs a 3-piece maple neck with a mahogany body for sustain and resonance, while the thin U contour and 42mm molded nut support comfortable hand positioning across the 24-fret macassar ebony fingerboard. The 350mm fingerboard radius provides a modern playing feel without sacrificing classic character.
Tone & Live Performance
A Seymour Duncan '59 neck pickup and Seymour Duncan JB bridge pickup with original-style bobbins deliver the articulation needed to cut through a live mix—warm and defined in the neck position, aggressive and punchy at the bridge. The push/pull coil-split control expands your tonal palette from thick and full to single-coil clarity, all routed through passive electronics with a dedicated volume, tone, and three-way toggle switch that won't fail on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does B-stock mean for this guitar?
B-stock means the guitar is fully functional with zero impact on playability, tone, or structural integrity. This specific unit carries minor cosmetic imperfections from warehouse handling and display—purely superficial marks that don't affect performance. You still receive complete manufacturer warranty coverage.
What genres and playing styles is this guitar best suited for?
The Eclipse '87 NT excels in hard rock, metal, rock, and blues. Its aggressive bridge pickup and coil-split versatility make it ideal for gain-heavy riffs and dynamic soloing, though its warm neck position and articulate voice work well across multiple rock-adjacent styles.
How does the coil-split control expand the tone?
The push/pull coil-split on the volume pot lets you switch from the thick, full humbucker sound to single-coil clarity on either pickup. This adds harmonic range without changing guitars, useful for everything from heavy riffs to cleaner, more articulate passages.
Is the neck comfortable for extended playing sessions?
Yes. The thin U contour balances comfort with finger definition at the frets, and the 42mm molded nut supports proper hand positioning. The 350mm fingerboard radius delivers a modern playing feel while keeping the classic character intact.
How does this compare to other ESP LTD models?
The Eclipse '87 NT sits in the sweet spot between the EC-1000 and E-II Eclipse—it offers the E-II's construction quality and authentic '87 heritage at a lower price point, with locking hardware and professional pickups that match or exceed the EC-1000's reliability.
