I have one of these in my collection and it is an absolutely killer axe. Versatile and capable of just about anything… I can’t recommend one enough.
Would love to see this in the pearl pink!
Is this model a limited release or do you plan to sell it indefinitely?
Just got one from Sweetwater. I grabbed it off the wall and it just felt perfect.
Is this guitar playable in drop c tuning? I read that drop tuning is recommended with longer scales and this is 24.75
@Acclaimed Knives In the unboxing video I shared, I'm playing in drop C, and it sounds and plays amazing! No issues whatsoever. And I have a Floyd Rose float set up video coming tomorrow! I switch out the 9's for 11's, and drop it to drop C! Just search my name on Youtube and you'll find the video tomorrow afternoon!
@Acclaimed Knives Thanks man! I just noticed that the Eclipse '87 NT we're talking about here, has a fixed bridge and not a Floyd Rose. So you'll be totally fine changing tuning with ease. The stock strings might feel a little light in Drop C, but you can definitely get away with it. You'll have to give it a try and see how it feels! Personally, I like 11-52 gauge strings for drop C, and I think they're fine for any tuning, including E. But I understand that you just want to rock the guitar right out of the box, and so yes, I think you'll be fine!
Hi, Yes this guitar could be setup in Drop C. I agree with Rob here. Probably changing strings to 11-52 would be a good starting point. You'll need to readjust the truss rod and action when you make this type of change. We recommend taking it to a good setup or repair person if you are not familiar with this type of work.
