An Eclipse E-II Designed for Demanding Musicians

The E-II Eclipse follows the tradition of Les Paul-style guitars, appreciated for their sonic density and sustain. In this Burled Maple Blue Natural Fade version, the goal is clear: to offer an Eclipse with professional-level finish, ready to withstand rehearsals, touring, and recording, while providing a high-end aesthetic and performance-oriented ergonomics.

Who Is It For, and Which Styles?

This 6-string electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a reliable, precise, and easy-to-set-up instrument. Its DNA is particularly suited to modern rock, hard rock, and metal (from tight rhythm to singing lead), but it remains very comfortable in pop/rock and cleaner styles whenever a clear attack and rigorous signal control are desired.

The Sound

The combination of mahogany body + flamed maple top provides a very effective balance: mahogany delivers full low-mids and sustain, while maple adds definition and attack to keep chords clear, even with gain. On the electronics side, the EMG 57TW (bridge) and EMG 66TW (neck) active pickups offer a tight, powerful, and quiet output, ideal for modern distortion as well as controlled cleans. The 2 volume controls and tone control, combined with the 3-position selector switch, allow quick switching from a sharp rhythm sound to a rounder, more expressive neck tone.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

This E-II Eclipse comes with a case and is factory-strung with Elixir Nanoweb Light 10-46 (.010/.013/.017/.026/.036/.046): to maintain feel and setup balance, a set of strings with the same gauge is recommended when changing.
