The ESP Guitar Company

One of the best detailed crafted guitars I’ve owned!

Hello ESP. I just ordered this guitar through Sweetwater, but they don’t have it in stock. What is the approximate lead time on getting this guitar? Thank you.

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?

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.

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. 

Hello. Are the E-II Eclipses set with stainless steel frets?

Hi!! How can I buy a Esp guitar, I'm from Mexico 

Just ordered mine. Will have it soon. Very excited,it will be my 2nd ESP.

This Guitar was bought for me by my Girlfriend,haha I genuinely couldn't believe it,I literally just bought myself the EC-LTD-1000 Natural Burst which is just stunning and found myself just surfing Guitars on the Internet and spotted my dream Guitar,the E-II Eclipse,Black Cherry and the Girlfriend said out of the blue,"Because it is a benchmark birthday coming up she would buy me this Guitar,now normally going if I just bought a Guitar she would normally say,"for god's sake you already have Guitars,why do you need another one" So I'm thinking I must have played a blistering solo and shredded myself into a different reality where my girlfriend is nice and likes Guitars?

But yeah the E-II is most definitely on another level to any other Guitar I have ever owned

If you are thinking about buying one and aren't sure,just do it,out the box this Guitar was ready to go and feels amazing and so comfortable,didn't feel like a new Guitar in the sense that with new it takes a while to get used to holding it a certain way etc it just fitted like a glove

Just a stunning and Beautiful Guitar

Bought one of these about a month ago, I'm loving it. Perhaps my favorite guitar purchase ever. The tone is great, and coming from an Epiphone Les Paul...this thing is SOO much lighter and more comfortable.

Only minor gripe is that when the guitar arrived it had a fair amount of action on the low E string, so had to make some adjustment there

This beautiful finish should be available on the 7-string.  (please? )

I recently purchased one of these and noticed that the bridge and tailpiece weren't seated flush with the body, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if theirs was the same?

Make sense now, thank you

What is the difference between BB or DB?

Is it possible that these specifications are changed since I bought this guistar with an ebony fingerboard, see the page of my supplier Thomann in Germany (sorry, I am not allowed to put a link yet)

And yes it does look more cooler than the rosewood .

Can you guys please stop using paint shielding on all of the cavities? It seriously decimates all the high end clarity. I've had to remove everything in order for any pickups in this thing to sound playable.

Also, the solderless wiring system needs to be wired up properly. Make sure that the cable coming from the pickup goes to either of the outside pairs of lugs for the wiper of the volume pots. The middle set is for output only. I know that EMG's instructions says to do this, but it is wrong. Even Rob Turner from EMG explains how the pots work with outside set of connectors.

Is it possible to buy this guitar with different pickups (SH-6) and lower frets (definitely NOT XJ)? How thick is the body?

Yup, Ebony, looks better and shows up the strings for those with wobbly eyesight - happens to us all eventually. 

I tacked this onto a previous comment, but I can't help but feel as though an ebony fret board would suit this guitar better. The darker color works with the finish a lot better than the paler rosewood to my eyes. I also find ebony to be generally smoother which provides a nicer playing experience.
