A new model from the ESP Eclipse series, with many professional features, but - as typical for LTD brand instruments - to be had for a very affordable price and featuring an unbelievably good price-quality relation.Finish: Faded Cherry Sunburst, with chrome hardware. Body: Basswood, with an intensively quilted maple top. The top is of a really rare, perfect, exceptional 3D-quality! (s. pictures). Some other big guitar manufacturers would probably ask more that the cost of this complete guitar, alone as an upcharge for a top of a comparable quality.Neck: Mahogany. "Thin U" neck profile. 24 XJ jumbo frets for fast playing and easy string bending. Bolt-on neck construction. This enables a fast, precise attack, along with a full, "fat" tone.Scale: 24.75" (like Gibson Les Paul, SG, Explorer etc., i.e. a 2 cm shorter scale than for instance a Stratocaster, resulting in better playability even with thicker string gauges).Fretboard: Rosewood, with „Dot“ inlays. A discreet but very noble looking instrument!Headstock: ESP Eclipse/Viper style, matching the body color.Tuners: Orig. ESP.Bridge: Non-tremolo, Tune-o-matic with stoptail. Lots of sustain and helps to stay in tune, as well.Nut: 42 mm (standard).Pickups: 2x ESP LH-150 humbuckers. This pickup combination is versatile, provides enough gain, even for aggressive sounds, fits well for both standard and lower tunings and is very quiet.Electronics: 2x volume & 1x tone knob. 3-way-switch.Absolutely outstanding quality of selected woods, craftmanship, handling and sound! The overall manufacturing quality is easily comparable with many ESP models which usually cost 2 to 4 times more than this instrument, though.
