(Originally written by Baehor/translated from Audiofanzine FR)

Made in Korea
24 frets
2 Gibson-style humbuckers
StopBar tailpiece and ToneProse bridge
I replaced the neck because the original one was broken :-(
Controls: 2 x volume, 2 x tone, 1 x 3-way toggle switch
Les Paul body, called Eclipse by ESP, black glossy finish with ivory white binding on the body and neck

UTILIZATION

The new neck feels very pleasant. It's a bit too thick but the hand slides swiftly without any problem.
The hand goes effortlessly from low to high notes.
Les Paul style body from ESP (called Eclipse).
The guitar is quite ergonomic but a bit too heavy.

SOUNDS

I play lots of rock, hard rock and heavy metal. I play mainly rhythm parts and the guitar does a good job at that. I play with a small 40-watt amp at home but when I play with a bigger amp the sound is also good.
I like heavy and resonating chords with lots of low-end and the guitar is perfect for this.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for one year and I bought it secondhand.
It sounds good but I think I will change the pickups for EMGs (my favorites) which produce a bigger sound.
