Early 2003 Pre-Gibson Lawsuit '4-knob' ESP Eclipse II Standard in See-Thru Black Cherry over a gorgeous quilted maple top, bound to a lightweight mahogany body.
Featuring a slim bound 24-fret neck with rosewood fingerboard and iconic flag inlays, all black hardware with Sperzel locking tuners & EMG-81 humbuckers for maximum output and clarity.
A considerable difference in quality from the later models made by ESP, the Eclipse I's are not only for Hetfield collectors, but instead those who are after a precision-made, flagship model before reaching ESP Custom Shop dollars.
An outstanding instrument and a very cool piece of history in Japanese guitar making.
Includes original hard case.
