I recently bought a Matt Heafy Les Paul and I am not sure if I got a "bad batch" or what but it is the best sounding guitar I have ever played on. Especially for $699. That guitar made my 2 other Schecter C's, ESP EC-1000, and PRS sound worthless. So I bought the Eclipse II thinking that it would compete, as the other guitars just weren't that great anymore even with new pickups, tuneups, and all. And.... the Eclipse II sounded just like the ESP EC-1000, if not worse. It was twice the money and I couldn't justify making any changes or upgrades to it to make it sound better when I could just save $800 and get another EC-1000 and make is sound sick so I sent it back. But this see through black came up for $1,000 and I had to jump on it. I was skeptical but willing to give it a shot. I am so glad I did. For $1000 I couldn't have scored a better guitar, except the Matt Heafy but now I have two incredible guitars. Do yourself a favor and buy one. They are sick. Side note: I don't know about the other guitars but this see-through black does not have Seymour Duncan pickups, as any average guitarist would know. It has an EMG 66 in the neck and EMG 57 in the bridge. It is also a 24 fret guitar. Not 22. I don't remember what zZounds said that scale was but it is a 24.75" scale. The shipping and logistics for this guitar was an absolute nightmare but after playing this for 30 mins I would do it again.

Musical Background:

17 years on the guitar. I play at home now as the corporate life has consumed me.

Musical Style:

Metal, rock, hairbands, country, and metal
