Sound Pure's Take
The ESP Eclipse Custom is a premium single-cut built for players who demand uncompromising craftsmanship and modern performance. Its mahogany body with a maple cap delivers exceptional sustain and a rich, balanced voice, while the Honduras mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, effortless playing experience. Equipped with James Hetfield's signature EMG JH "HET" pickups, it offers powerful articulation, tight low end, and impressive clarity across a wide range of gain settings. Finished in the stunning Silver Liquid Metal Burst and paired with premium hardware throughout, this ESP Eclipse Custom is a striking instrument that excels on stage, in the studio, and for years of inspired playing.
