You are in the presence of an esp eclipse custom, this model was produced in the United States probably to meet the demand for guitarists eager to found a guitar that combines an affordable price, a certain simplicity and quality esp, so it has a 22 round boxes screwed with rosewood fingerboard and late standard, there are markers of cells in points and 12th in the box we find the initials of the brand, it has a 3 position selector, two volume pots and one tone control, 2 humbucker pickups found LH200 esp.

UTILIZATION

It has a handle end and very cozy with easy access to all the boxes, we can see that this guitar enjoyed a good bill which makes it easy to use with a real comfortable game for the handle. Now the body is still light enough in weight standard around 4kg, the body of its shape is not very pleasant to the extent that sitting the guitar tends to slip back especially if the user big thighs up if there are no serious problems.

SOUNDS

I am a metalleu (my nickname) I can say that with this guitar can play very well, this guitar has a wide field of music because of its color (ivory mine) because of its shape and by its sounds I use it with an amp and a warrior multi-effects pedal zoom g2 1u and I must say it has real potential in the clear sound is clean, the sound is no longer saturated, but suits me perfectly. Now I replaced the pickups by the famous EMG 81 in D and granted it became devastating.

OVERALL OPINION

Its been 9 months that I have and I must say that I like as a whole, his style just gives it a vintage look interresting, this guitar is very eclectic (from blues to extreme metal lol) it is true that his style is not what my most especially at the beginning I wanted to have the equipment esp, she pleasantly surprised, the price / quality ratio is interresting, for against it again if I will not repeat this choice because I think a standard model is more directed to my style of music, but again it's a great guitar. I admit that I wanted to separate myself but after the change of pickups is even bother to think I keep it.
