    with case

    You won't find many better-looking (or better sounding) guitars than this ESP E-II Eclipse in See Thru Black Cherry Sunburst. Check out the beauty of the finish over that quilted maple top, with details like a white multi-binding and a matching headstock... it's beyond compare. Powered by a set of EMG 60 (neck) and EMG 81 (bridge) pickups, it's ready for everything from deep and contemplative sounds to the most screaming, aggressive tones imaginable. A set-thru design, it's easy to get quickly up to the highest frets. It features a mahogany body with maple cap, a one-piece mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets. The E-II Eclipse includes high-end components like ESP strap locks, Gotoh locking tuners, and a Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece. Like all instruments in our E-II Series, the E-II Eclipse is made in Japan at ESP’s Tokyo factory. Includes hardshell case.

      I’m a big ebony fretboard fan and when I was shopping for this model I figured all colors would be equipped with ebony.  And after I put in my order at AMS (highly recommend them) I was disappointed I didn’t look closer before completing my order.  I was even considering returning it and getting the e-II horizon which does come with ebony. But when it was delivered and it had a ebony board I was super jazzed. It’s an amazing instrument and I couldn’t be happier.  So impressed I also ordered a e-II horizon see thru black.  Also a amazing guitar.

          Hello. The stats stating an ebony fretboard but the pic indicates a rosewood fretboard (I assume). What of it is fact?

            Hello, we are in fact using ebony for this model. The picture is old and will be updated as soon as we are able.

              I already sent customer service a question/comments, but I thought I would leave one here for feedback. The guitars I have seen available online look very different in terms of pattern and matching than the one shown in the photo. Although I live in one of the largest cities in the US, I have not been able to find many Eclipses in store...and none of this particular model. Unless you care nothing about the pattern, seems more reasonable to show a picture of one that more closely represents the one you will receive.  Case in point attached.

                    In the old days they used veneers, basically a sheet of paper over a regular maple top, to get around that problem.  Honestly I prefer it this way.  Although I think the price is still very high for a top like that, considering what other companies are offering these days.

                      Received today and I must say after a quick tune it played like a gem. Played for about 45 minutes and it felt great. Definitely recommend.
