ESP E-II Eclipse DB VB

[@michaelstewart2437]

Thank you for playing big chords on the clean settings.

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

@ 2:00 just look how clean the binding and paint+clear job! I have a brand freaking new Les Paul Modern and I'm shocked how rough around the edges that guitar is compared to my Music Man's and this ESP in the video..

[@pastryattack2170]

That quilt maple top really pops under that paint

[@sheshsheshshesh]

they honestly could've just used regular maple

Seriously considering a ESP e-ii but I want Seymour Duncan p/ups. Excellent review, thanks.

I purchased this guitar in Oct, 2021, I got it with an Evertune bridge from Sweetwater ! Amazing instrument !!

[@Cognitoman]

How much does it cost

[@Firedog53]

@@Cognitoman With the Evertune bridge-it goes for $2700 on Sweetwater. It has gone up significantly.

[@Cognitoman]

@@Firedog53 I though maybe 1700-2000 dollars

[@Firedog53]

@@Cognitoman You can get an Eclipse II without the Evertune for less. Also, when I bought mine-it was a "scratch and dent"-though I could't really see much wrong at all. I paid about $1850.

I want one!!!! It's what a gibson should be!!!

Great playing btw!!

I am planning to buy this guitar in Marine Blue color . I hope this turns out to be a good guitar to play Metal.

I'm pretty sure that you won't be disappointed 😁

[@omegaelixir]

Why would anyone put a quilt maple top and solid paint over it?

[@greekfreak1980]

I´m pretty sure he made a mistake here, this guitar has a plain maple top similar to a Gibson L/P Custom.

[@ESPE2M1]

He made a mistake, no quilted maple top on that guitar.

[@chealy4648]

Quite nice, no doubt we'll put together. But those pickups just sound harsh. I'd have to swap them for Seymour Duncan or Bare Knuckles. Don't see myself buying one of these anytime soon and definitely not brand new.

[@coolguy2873]

This thing looks sick.

Hi guys. Ok so im thinking of getting one..so many metalcore guys love this..any particular reason? ..i play metalcore as well hence me asking

[@joeboyd-rw4vt]

the flag inlays are the only thing that bugs me. imo.

[@raytsh]

Are you sure this is a quilt maple top? What if it's just plain maple or flame maple? How could you tell with this kind if paint?

[@mohammadyazeed7744]

Can u tune it down to drop Bb?

[@simonsmith2642]

How thick is neck profile?

[@ghazwanaltimimi1794]

Is this made in japan?

[@Hassan-Alnajjar]

Yes, all E-II models are made in Japan, the other models are made in Korea & some in Indonesia I believe.

[@brownpunk1794]

Made in somalia

[@voyd1288]

do these have stainless steel frets?

[@robertaustin1945]

The pickups don't sound too good clean

[@afterstars]

I wish they made this without the DB. To me, half of the appeal is the non Gibson neck joint.

[@the_hippykiller22]

Too bad they didn't include the shaved neck joint instead of the back binding like they do on most other eclipses nowadays, I'd really like the vintage black model to replace my ec1000 but this really kills it for me, ESP lost a sale for sure. Playability first.

[@simonsmith2642]

They have one with the comfort cut it only has front binding of course to accommodate that carve. Its also a bit skinnier nut width. Have no idea neck profile thickness on any of these which is important buying online. Nobody is measuring it!

[@reganvariation8080]

Is this good for buy my church?for worship song? Do u have any choice under 1050usd? E2 or natural blue fade which one is best? plz brother tell me..

[@TrixiLovesYou]

I'm really interested in this guitar, but I can't stand active PUs and don't see why they can't offer this guitar with a set of passive PUs. Also, tune the guitar when you plan to make a demo video.

[@patodaneff4836]

it is as good as a gibson lp std?

[@nicovinn411]

You're joking right?

[@showerstimescartoon]

Way better than Les Paul

[@imXcoolq8]

are you kidding?

[@flowryan5829]

This question can’t be for real. Honestly. A Les Paul Standard may be beautiful and may sound pretty nice but that‘s about it. Even the LTD EC 1000 Series puts most Gibsons to shame.

[@nicovinn411]

@@flowryan5829 so it's safe to assume that youre new to guitar instrument, for what i've experienced for almost 2 yrs now the Gibson LPS has the clearest sound compared to its rival wannabes and that's not to say the Gibson is the undisputed one very reason why this guitar come to existence. Argue with me

[@cashmandrummer2917]

Jesus loves you!!

[@amirrezarezaie]

Great guitar but I still prefer a Gibson Les Paul with EMG pickups.

[@shamerzaihan8638]

I mean you probably prefer the name in the headstock this is way better than a gibson quality wise

[@flowryan5829]

@@shamerzaihan8638 100% agreed. The Les Paul is cool and all, no bashing here. But quality wise, the E-II wipes the floor with most Gibson. Even the EC 1000 Series is more than just on par with Gibson. I do get the flair that Gibsons bring with them but that‘s about it. Overly hyped.

[@thereisnopandemic]

All you paying for is the name tag, these are not the same Les Paul that Guns and Roses or other musicians used 20 years ago. Gibson quality is not good anymore.

[@joshludge]

No sound

[@nealdewar9959]

It's Gibson money so why not buy Gibson? ESP depreciate badly.

[@RaymondBaer]

How do you figure? Last time I looked at double-bound Gibsons with ebony fingerboards, I could only find them out of the Custom Shop, and those bad boys are well over $4500, want an "aged" VOS finish? $6700. This is nowhere near Gibson money. Even LP standard at $2500 is $600 more than one of these... Prices aside, unless you're looking to immediately mod your LP, the only thing this has in common is tonewood, body shape and binding. Everything else is, dare I say, more modern and ergonomic. Too bad about the depreciation though, I can probably sell my 2011 LP for a profit today. Doubt you'd be saying the same about an Eclipse unless it's an original Japanese custom.

[@nealdewar9959]

@@RaymondBaer Don't get me wrong I would buy a pre owned ESP & let some other mug take the hit. Same as I would do with a car. The snobbery that goes with buying electric guitars is hilarious. There's nothing wrong with "modding" it was good enough for greats in the early days & the Tonewood argument is dead but hey its a free world we're we have choice. 🕊️

[@Thirteen31Music]

As an owner of both a Gibson and This guitar I personally think this guitar is far better for the money. This is about £1000 less the a Gibson LP and the quality is every bit as good if not better. If you want value retention buy the Gibson. If you want a really really solid working mans guitar at a really great price this is a better option.

[@300WINMAG360]

Because Gibson sucks!

[@kebsis]

I bought one of these way back in like 2008 or so, and they seem to be going for about the same price I paid used back then. Including inflation that's probably a noticable amount of depreciation but it's not like the bottom fell out of it. Plus it's still in perfectly good condition 13 years later.
