40th Series
Special 40th Anniversary Guitars from ESP and LTD
Limited Edition Guitars for Collectors and Players
ESP was founded in 1975, meaning that 2015 is our 40th anniversary. To commemorate this landmark occasion, we’ve created a few very special, very limited edition guitars that are intended for both rare guitar collectors and highly discerning players.
40th Anniversary ESP Eclipse
Available in two finishes — See Through Black and Tiger Eye — the 40th Anniversary ESP Eclipse offers detailed, hand-made craftsmanship from the ESP Custom Shop. It has set-thru construction with a mahogany body and a highly-figured flamed maple top which looks phenomenal in its translucent finishes. Details like masked binding and glow-in-the-dark side dot position indicators make this model unique, and high-end components like Seymour Duncan APH-1 pickups (Tiger Eye version) or EMG MetalWorks pickups (See Thru Black version) make it imminently playable. Only twenty of each finish are being made available worldwide.

Take a look at the new LTD 40th Anniversary models, and you may have to admit that you’ve never seen finishes like those on the EC-2015, MH-2015, or H7-2015. They all employ a See Through Black Satin finish over their figured quilted maple tops, and look devastatingly cool. Each guitar uses premier design choices like ebony fingerboards, EMG MetalWorks pickups, real mother-of-pearl inlays, multiple bindings, and more. Only 300 of the EC-2015 and MH-2015 are made made worldwide, and just 200 of the 7-string H7-2015 are available.
