ESP E-II Eclipse Electric Guitar in Blue Natural Fade

The ESP E-II Eclipse in Blue Natural Fade is a premium, Japan-built single-cut built for serious players who demand flawless playability, crushing tones and boutique looks. Combining a resonant mahogany body with a stunning buckeye burl maple top, neck-thru construction and dual EMG 57TW / 66TW active humbuckers, it is a modern metal and hard rock workhorse that feels as good as it looks on stage or in the studio.

From the ultra-stable neck-thru mahogany construction and slick ebony fingerboard to the rock-solid Gotoh hardware and locking tuners, every detail has been engineered for reliability and precision. The Thin U neck profile and extra jumbo stainless steel frets make fast runs, wide bends and intricate chords feel effortless, while the EMG pickups deliver everything from tight, articulate high-gain rhythm to expressive, singing leads with clarity and punch.

Japanese-built for Professional Performance

Part of the ESP E-II range, the Eclipse is crafted in ESP’s Tokyo factory to exacting standards. Neck-thru-body construction maximises sustain and stability, making this guitar ideal for demanding touring schedules and long studio sessions. The build quality inspires confidence, so you can focus entirely on your playing.

Stunning Buckeye Burl Top in Blue Natural Fade

The buckeye burl maple top, finished in a striking Blue Natural Fade, gives this Eclipse a custom-shop aesthetic. The unique figuring of the burl means no two tops are exactly alike, while the fade finish highlights the grain and adds a modern, high-end look that stands out under stage lights.

Fast Thin U Neck and Stainless Steel Frets

A mahogany neck with a Thin U profile and smooth ebony fingerboard offers a fast, comfortable feel across the entire 629 mm scale. Extra jumbo stainless steel frets provide a slick, low-friction surface that makes bends and vibrato effortless, while also offering exceptional durability for players who rack up serious playing hours.

EMG 57TW / 66TW Active Humbuckers

Loaded with EMG 57TW in the bridge and EMG 66TW in the neck, this Eclipse delivers powerful, articulate tones with tight low end and singing highs. These active humbuckers excel at high-gain rhythm work and searing leads, while still offering clarity for cleans and edge-of-breakup tones. Coil-tap capable by design, they give you a wide tonal palette suitable for modern metal, hard rock and beyond.

Rock-solid Gotoh Hardware

A Gotoh Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece, combined with Gotoh locking machine heads, ensure excellent tuning stability and precise intonation. The black nickel hardware not only looks sleek against the Blue Natural Fade finish, it also provides a dependable platform for aggressive playing styles and frequent string changes.
