You can find those for 1200-2000 right now and they all seem to have been babied from day one. EMG 60, Seymour Duncan 59, or DiMarzio DP103 (Neck) ESP pickups. I think it's the best-looking guitar I've ever seen. The neck is a 24.75 scale length, just like on a classic Les Paul. This is not a shredder’s guitar by any means. For me, thicker necks make for really comfortable rhythm playing. The body is quite heavy, and the 12 radius neck is thick and round. I don't know how picky you are about finishes and flashiness, but a few years ago there was a Les Paul Traditional Mahogany Satin model that just blew my mind. ESP definitely took notes from Gibson on this one.
They're very similar in every way, save for the neck joint shape and the obvious fit and finish an expensive US-made guitar would have.Īll of that said, there is just something special about a good Gibson. If you're looking to get a basic feel for the USA Eclipse, try getting your hands on an EC-1000T model or the 22-fret E-II Eclipse models. The heel joint is also shaped in a way that some people really like, but others hate. Three-piece mahogany neck has a 16th fret joint in the back and a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard on top (extra jumbo frets. Alex Skolnick FM has a solid and single-cut body made of a mahogany base and a two-piece flamed maple top. The belly cut makes a difference if you're used to having one, but it's hardly a make or break if you don't really care either way. Other than that, this is your classic ESP Eclipse warhorse, a guitar which will never leave its player stranded. I know the ESP USA Eclipse is a very nice, hefty, and even more ergonomic machine than the Gibson is. They stay in tune better as well, thanks to the location of the tuning machines on the headstock. They're incredibly well-made guitars and as close to classic Gibson spec as you're gonna find.
