Hi guys - I ordered this guitar from Guitar Center nearly a year ago, but am yet to receive it. GC says that ESP had not fulfilled their backorders as yet. Can you please let me know if these are still being produced by ESP and when the next batch will be hitting retailers in the US?
perfect guitar, i recommend!!
Hey guys - I loved this guitar and placed an order for it in early May, 2023 through my local Guitar Center. At that time, I was told that it was back-ordered until June 6. However, since then, the availability date keep moving to the right, currently stated as November, 2023! Can you please provide some information about any issues that may be causing production delays with this model? When will these be available again, and what do I need to do to get one sooner than November? Thanks in advance!
If this guitar had stainless steel frets, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
Where is the 24fret version of this?
Hi, there is no 24 fret version available.
If you have any more questions, please contact ESP Customer Service at customerservice@espguitars.com
I own the LTD Viper Evertune, does this have the same neck?
if you have any questions you may reach out to our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com or https://www.espguitars.com/pages/support
With Evertune Bridge, 22 Frets, 24.75 scale, satin finish, single cut, passive pickups... this would have to be my dream guitar...
thanks for the insight!
It is a dream come true. I have 3 of them. Not one draw back for me.
If this had EMG Active Pickup Option and 24 Frets would be an instant buy for me.
thanks for the insight
There are too many 24 fret guitars! This is perfect as a 22 Fret...
Hi, what is the finish of the back of the neck please : gloss, satin, other ?
This will be satin like the rest of the instrument
Why are the head stocks on the ESP Eclipse 2 different? Some say E2 and others sat ESP? What is the difference in these two guitars or why is the printed logo on the head stock different?
Hi Jerry, We offer 2 different product lines both built and designed by ESP. Esp Original Eclipse is our highest quality version from the ESP Custom Shop while the E-II product line made by ESP is our standard production line produced in Japan. Both are high quality but offered at different price points with the ESP Original the highest available quality.
I keep dreaming of owning one of these bad boys, I had an Eclipse and it was stolen the day I got it, wow, I have been dealing with Cancer for the last decade so I cannot seem to get enough moolah together to buy one, I pray that I can one day get one, the Japan models are amazing the Us one are probably crazy expensive, well God willing, Cancer doesn't care about your age, your income level or feelings, it is no fun at all, Music is the only thing I believe has kept me here, I love to play music, it is the closest thing to magic we have, Thank YOu ESP, you make amazing instruments.
Hope you can get one sometime soon, and good luck with your recovery.
me gustaría tener una pero en mi país no hay importación,necesito ayuda humanitaria, quien podría donarme una guitarra aunque fuera de baja gama, lo agredeceria en el alma.
Why would you prefer we buy your cheaper guitars to get a floyd rose? I would think you'd prefer more money. Maybe I want the 12" radius and a fr without breaking the bank.
Hey Robert, thanks for your comment and suggestion!
I'm curious why there are no E-II eclipse models available with a Floyd Rose? I'd love to order one with the FR and SD pickups. I have an M series I had outfitted with JB and SH59 and it's awesome sounding. I have EMG sets in my Arrow and eclipse and while they sound great, I think the attack and overall resonance is better represented especially in your higher end guitars. Unfortunately it's not worth the huge price increase between E-II and custom models. Hands down these are the finest instruments made at all your price points but general musicians have a hard time justifying or affording the huge price gap between E-II or USA and custom Japan models.
Hey Michael, thanks for sharing your insight, unfortunately no offerings of an E-II Eclipse with a Floyd Rose bridge, but perhaps you would like the EC-1000 version of this, which is much more affordable.
Thanks Carl, but like Robert said I wasn't looking for a cheaper model. I was hoping to upgrade from what I have. Not to take anything away from the 1000 series it's a damn good instrument but for almost double the price I'd have to think an E-II would be heads and shoulders above it. Or are you saying the price difference pretty much only accounts for the name on the headstock?
Hey Michael, once again thanks for your insight. There are many differences between our E-II and LTD instruments, I could go on all day about the nuance differences between the lines but best way to see the difference for yourself would be to pick one up and play it.
Hi! Why is the pickup ring still plastic at this price level?
Hey Richard, plastic pickup rings are fairly common place in this industry. They are standard equipment on LTD, E-II, ESP USA, and ESP Original.
I'd love to see direct mount on this... with covered pup option...
hi, why is there no E-II eclipse with piezo like LTD? i want one, but E-II...
Hey Ken, thanks for your insight! We'll pass your recommendation off to our pals at ESP Japan.
Hi ESP - I already have one E-II Eclipse but really wish you had gone ahead with the black satin, Evertune and the Fishman Fluence pickups... please consider doing this, I promise to buy one!
Hey Michael, thank you for your support and suggestions. We try and produce as many differently configured instruments as we can to please all of our players but as you can image, every player is different and prefers a differently appointed instrument. We'll take your suggestions into consideration when planning new models.
Hi there - on some guitar retail sites, they show a separate battery case on the back of the guitar. The photos above do not show that. Is there a difference in the model years?!
Thanks!
Hi billybub, When these were first introduced, our factory had planned to release them with Fishman pickups, but then we changed to Duncan pickups. The ones you are seeing are probably from the early models before we officially released the final product with Duncans.
Thanks Todd. Guitar Center confirmed the passive pickups. If helpful here’s the website with the photos - they should probably update with the proper “back” view as I’m sure I’m not the only one who was confused!

Hi billybub, thanks very much for confirming this and sending the link. We'll see if we can help them to update their photos to avoid more confusion. Thanks again for pointing this out to us!
This is a beautiful guitar, but is there Any chance this same model could be offered with Chrome Hardware (Chrome Evertune Bridge, Chrome Tuners, Chrome Knobs) And Seymour Duncan JB Bridge and '59 Neck (or Pearly Gates Neck) with Chrome Covers? That would be a great 'classic' look option for this guitar!!
Also, as some others have requested, I'd love to see Stainless Steel Frets offered on these models too.
Hi Scotty, Thanks for your suggestions. These options are currently not available but they are good suggestions and we appreciate you letting us know what you are looking for in a guitar.
I own a E-II Evertune Eclipse and a white E-II Eclipse with standard bridge. Both loaded with Emg 81/85's.
Are there any plans to release a E-II Evertune Eclipse in white or any other finishes or do I have to go custom?
Hi geoff, Thanks for sharing this with us. Although there is no plan at this time , it could be something we would consider releasing in the future. Sounds like the Evertune is your bridge of choice? That's great to hear. Thanks for your suggestions.
