An E-II signed Eclipse: ESP DNA in a high-end approach
The Eclipse series is one of the most iconic silhouettes in the ESP universe, with a singlecut identity clearly designed for guitarists seeking an instrument that is both elegant, solid, and effective in real conditions. In this E-II version, the Eclipse EC-I relies on a selection of renowned components (Gotoh, EMG) and a black satin finish with a minimalist style.
For which guitarists and styles?
The E-II Eclipse EC-I Black Satin is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a reliable, precise 6-string electric guitar ready to handle heavy distortion. It excels in modern rock, hard rock, and metal, while remaining very comfortable whenever definition, a sharp attack, and excellent tuning stability in standard tuning are sought.
The sound
The mahogany body provides a warm sonic foundation, with present lows and generous sustain, ideal for thick riffs and singing leads. The maple neck adds snap and clarity, while the ebony fingerboard enhances articulation and attack precision, highly appreciated in fast playing. The pair of EMG 57TW (bridge) and EMG 66TW (neck) pickups delivers a modern and tight output, with excellent clarity under gain and a balanced response across the neck, supported by a TOM-style bridge for direct attack.
Recommended compatible accessories
To complete your setup, you can opt for 6-string electric guitar strings, a quality 6.35 mm jack cable to preserve dynamics, as well as a standard strap (universal compatibility). A set of picks suited to your attack (stiffer for riffing, softer for arpeggios) will also allow you to fully exploit the precision of this Eclipse. A case is included.
