Wow! Just got mine today. What a wonderful instrument, thank you ESP, great job. This thing plays like a dream, best playing guitar I've ever played. Sounds fantastic, I'm liking the 57/66 combo a lot. The split coil sounds are totally useable, I'm digging the bridge split with high gain, sounds super cool. Clean tones sound very clear and full. Everyone knows ESP makes quality instruments and this one does not disappoint, no blemishes or flaws in craftsmanship. It's even super clean in the cavities and under the truss rod cover. There is nothing negative to say about it, I think it's perfect. If there is any confusion I can confirm these are stainless steel frets, mine is a 2024 model. The satin finish on this is really cool, it's not a matte finish it really is satin it's so comfortable. Fret ends are perfect, nut slot heights are perfect, saddle slots are perfect, everything is perfect. Get ya one, you won't regret it I promise.
Are there plans to make this one with stainless steel frets?
What is the fret wire brand used by ESP (this model in particular)?
Hi, for how long will this on be aviable?
Befor it get discontinued. Thank You.
This would be an immediate buy if it wasn't for the satin. Don't want the oil rubbing off. Gloss on white is the way to go.
Hello ESP Team,
Would the Sperzel Locking-tuners cover the holes of the Gotoh screw holes?
The Sperzel like the ESP Iron cross
Thank you.
I just ordered this about two weeks ago and finally received it after a "long wait"but let me tell you it was/is we'll worth the wait, this guitar is a beauty. Sounds and plays so effortlessly that makes me want to keep playing. Before I ordered this I had/have the ESP LTD KH-602 and I love that guitar but I just wanted something a little better, a little more custom. So far it has not disappointed and it is a sexy looking guitar.
My only concern is going to be trying to keep it clean and new/fresh looking for years to come.......
.........So if any ESP techs are watching this review and can help me out on how to keep the body clean and/or what to use I'd really appreciate it!
I have one of these guitars left handed. Where do you source the active 25k push/pull pots? I am trying to find some replacement parts, but can't seem to find them anywhere even directly from the EMG website.
I just ordered this in the SnowWhite, I was told it is going to be a few weeks before it arrives. It was such a hard decision between some of the colors, I looked at so many others from LTD's Iron Cross. Looked at a Custom One in Candy Apple Green Metallic Eclipse but at around $4000 I might need to wait but One Day I will get it in the meantime I'll just keep playing my KH602.
This with gold hardware and JB/59 PUPS would be slick.
I got this one for a year now, and it is my favorite! It is so versital in sound. Yes i do use it with a Line6 Helix but those team up very well. I was a little afraid that the white would get dirty very quickly but it is easy to clean without damage. A slight disatvantage, when using the push pull you will get a nasty audio click with a cracking noise. But more important, it plays so fine, sounds so good. Certainly recoment is fot a kind of all round guitar player that like to get rauer
Hi Edwin, thanks for sharing your experience here. We're very happy to hear that you like your E-II instrument! Thanks for choosing ESP!
Hey ESP,
Do you plan on making an FR version of the E-II Eclipse?
Thanks
Hi, No plans at this time but that's not to say we wouldn't offer something like that in the future.
What kind of clear coat is put on this? Im really interested in this model but the thought of a snow white guitar turning yellow with age! Ugh! Really love the white tho
Hi, We use polyurethane finish. This one has a satin top coat.
Just curious, why has the price increased $400 from last years price of $1999. Are there new features I’m not seeing.
Hi Michael, looks like there are no new features on this model so the price increase may have come from some other increases in our costs. Please discuss pricing with your favorite dealer and maybe they have available stock from last year, you never know.
The inlays are mother of pearl right? Really like the snow white.
Yes, this will be mother of pearl
Hey esp how much bigger (mainly width) is the body of this guitar compared to the esp ltd 256? I’m really considering buying one but am a skeptical about the size of the body. A reply would truly amazing.
love your guitars
cheers
The body shapes will be relatively similar as they are both Eclipse shaped instruments
I would love to buy one of these. I’ve been trying to buy one for years. Unfortunately we can’t really get them in Canada, I’ve ordered and eclipse 3 times and each time after about 8 months of waiting the store tells me it will be another 6-12 months. Then it never ends up coming. I’ve tried with the biggest dealers in Ontario and they never show up. I don’t blame the retailers for this, obviously there’s a problem with ESP shipping to Canada. I know multiple other people who would buy an ESP if they could but don’t want to wait over a year to get one. I would have bought many by now but I’ve given up. Guess I’ll never be able to own one. Absolute joke.
Hey Austin, sorry you're having such trouble getting this in your area. These have been in fairly high demand though we have been getting regular shipments of these throughout the year. Your local ESP distributor would be best bet for getting one of these in your region, as they are the importer of ESP instruments for Canada. Hope this helps!
Or, you can try an on-line dealer that ships to Canada. I know American Musical Supply carries ESP guitars and ships to Canada.
Musiciansfriend and Sweetwater can be found on-line as well.
I just bought this guitar and the fretboard has a light brown streak under the high e from the 1st fret to the 4th. It also has a light brown spot in the middle of the 4th fret. Is this normal? Every E-II I have ever had has had a very uniformly black polished fretboard. I'm not loving the light brown spots.
Hey Pitdog, not all pieces of wood are the same and with ebony it is natural for this to have some lighter patterns within the grain. Nothing really to cause concern but if you're obsessive about them all being the same maybe speak with the dealer you bought this from.
Hi,
I purchased this guitar two months ago now, is there a way to polish the white satin finish without making it glossy? Is there any specific product?How fast is it going to yellow up playing it EVERY day? Thank you for the amazing guitar!
Hey Tomaso, not sure you do want to polish the guitar as that would make it glossy. If you're just trying to clean it then a micro cloth works great but you have to keep in mind the pressure you are using while cleaning as the finish can become shiny after using too much pressure. As for yellowing, this is more of a concern for nitrocellulose finished instruments but those finished with polyurethane, like ours, don't experience this as harshly. You'll want to keep it from sitting in direct sunlight for extended periods of time and you'll want to make sure you're not sweating all over it. Hope this helps, enjoy your new E-II!
If I could make a couple small suggestions/requests for future models...this exact same guitar with a vintage white cream finish, and either full thickness or with a floyd rose.
Even without the floyd or full thickness, this exact model with vintage white and gold hardware would be amazing.
Hey Cody, thanks again for another great recommendation. Don't forget, you can always order an ESP custom if there is a specific build you want.
