Overview

While ESP first got started in 1975 as a small repair shop in Tokyo, it was really toward the mid '80s when our guitars and basses grabbed the attention of players around the world. The LTD '87 Series are faithful recreations of this set of instruments from ESP's 1987 catalog. Unlike the current single-cutaway Eclipse shape, the original ESP Eclipse was based on the TE archtop shape, which is the basis of the LTD Eclipse '87.

This guitar offers neck-thru-body construction with a mahogany body and three-piece maple neck. The '87 Series Eclipse models offer a set of Seymour Duncan '59 (neck) and JB (bridge) pickup set (with original style bobbins and a push-pull control to split the coils), and a Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.

I got this guitar from zZounds a couple of weeks ago. I like to play with lots of gain, and I like to play clean, and I don't like switching guitars when my mood changes. I've owned a bunch of other guitars, including Charvel DKs and Ibanez RGs. I think that this guitar, and the other ESP LTDs that I've recently bought, give you more guitar for the money than any of those. They're a little heavier than those other guitars, and that used to be a problem for me; now it's a requirement. No QC issues that I can detect.
