Sound Pure's Take
The ESP Eclipse Custom is a premium single-cut built for players who demand uncompromising craftsmanship and modern performance. Its mahogany body with a maple cap delivers exceptional sustain and a rich, balanced voice, while the Honduras mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, effortless playing experience. Equipped with James Hetfield's signature EMG JH "HET" pickups, it offers powerful articulation, tight low end, and impressive clarity across a wide range of gain settings. Finished in the stunning Silver Liquid Metal Burst and paired with premium hardware throughout, this ESP Eclipse Custom is a striking instrument that excels on stage, in the studio, and for years of inspired playing.
From ESP Guitars
All ESP Original Series instruments are hand-crafted by the world-renowned expert luthiers at the ESP Custom Shop in Japan. The Eclipse is one of the world’s most beloved guitars. It takes the traditional single-cutaway body shape and reimagines it for contemporary music performance styles. Built to the highest degree of detail, every millimeter of the ESP Eclipse Custom is designed to exceed the expectations of the world’s most discerning guitar players and musical instrument collectors. It offers set-neck construction with a mahogany body and maple cap, adjoined to a Honduran mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with ESP flag inlays. Carefully-selected components on the ESP Eclipse Custom include a graphite nut, ESP strap locks, Gotoh locking tuners, a TonePros locking TOM bridge, and Gotoh tailpiece. Its sound is powered by a pair of EMG JH “Het Set” active pickups that offer the clarity and punch of a passive pickup along with tight attack and clean low end. Available in Andromeda II, Blue Liquid Metal, Purple Peel, and Silver Liquid Metal finishes. Includes high-quality hardshell ESP case.
