    In guitar design, details matter. It can be the small things that helps you and your instrument stand out in a crowded field. The ESP E-II Eclipse BB accomplishes this with great-looking thick silver-painted binding on its Black Satin finish. This guitar is more than good looking, though; it offers a set-thru neck joint for excellent playability, and an EMG 60/81 Brushed Chrome pickup set. High-end components on the E-II Eclipse BB include ESP strap locks, stainless steel frets, Gotoh locking tuners, and a Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece. Like all instruments in our E-II Series, the Eclipse BB is made in Japan at ESP’s Tokyo factory. Includes hardshell case.

    Ordered this guitar in November of 2022,got it in October 2023,unfortunately its getting returned, the frett buzz is just terrible, it will not take a low action set up, for a guitar that's over 2 grand and took 10 months to get I'm very disappointed,  I've done hundreds of setups and this guitar just won't play to my standards,  I think the neck is set wrong from the factory,

      Hi James, any chance you can elaborate for me? Live in Maui, Hawaii so really taking my time narrowing down which EC Im going to try ordering for first ESP purchase--not sold here.. Were you completely unable to lower the action without getting a constant buzz? Hate to be stuck with permanent high action. This one comes with same EMG set that the new custom Death Angel TED EC does for $1700 new, was eyeing that one for the simplicity of it and recessed bridge. So many nice EC 1000s with various pick ups to choose from so getting confused.

        Hey. I need this guitar but with EMG 57/66 humbuckers and black hardware. Can you replace this for me or do I have to do it myself after purchase?

          Hi, Sorry we are not able to take special orders. All models are built to the specifications you see on our product page. If you wanted different pickups or parts then yes you would have to do that on your own after purchase.

          If you have any questions not answered on our product page, please contact ESP Customer Service at customerservice@espguitars.com

            But they have it as a 7 string... I'm just curious why they skipped out on the 6 string version. :(

                  I May be wrong but I think brushed black. It's similar to the others and they'll sneak in a title like that every now and then, but I may be completely wrong
