    Hi Rapheal, the finish is Polyurethane. We do not use nitrocellulose on standard  production models with the rare exception of a distressed finish. Sorry I don't understand what is a lightening hole. Will you please explain ?

      you kown we always compare Eclipse as Les paul.

      For Les paul guitar the main part determining sound is the body weight relieve system.

      les paul use more than 4 kinds of lightening hole system to relieve guitar body`s weight 

      and we want to kown the detail of Eclipse

        Hi rapheal m, Our Eclipse model is approximately 10mm thinner than a LP. Since it is thinner it is lighter and more comfortable for most players. There is no weight relief chambering for our standard Eclipse body. But for our USA Eclipse, the body is thicker (similar with LP) and there is weight relief chambering.

          Todd B. These are holes strategically placed often in the lower bouts under the binding that lighten the guitar. Another manufacturer, known for a particularly heavy solid body guitar, calls this weight relief.

            Hi Frederick, There is no weight relief chambering on our regular Eclipse body. It is thinner than a regular LP. Our USA Eclipse (which is thicker) does have weight relief chambering. WE are also introducing a couple new LTD full thickness EC models with weight relief chambering this year.

              What does BB stand for? And DB on the other E-II Eclipse models?

                HI Fieval, Good question. BB stands for "Bold Binding" (the binding is painted on and appears to be "bold"). DB stands for "Double Binding" which means it is bound on the top of the body as well as the back of the body. hope this helps.

                          Would I have to go through the custom shop to switch out the bridge & tailpiece, tuners, hardware, and pickups to black as opposed to chrome/brushed chrome?

                            I wish ESP still put out the EIIECSW  from 2016. I missed out on that one.
