    The ESP E-II Eclipse DB is inarguably one of the coolest-looking guitars in the entire ESP offering. It starts with a great combination of Vintage Black finish and age-yellowed multi-binding with gold hardware. But the E-II Eclipse DB is more than a killer-looking instrument; it's also one of our finest-playing guitars. Powered by a set of EMG 60 (neck) and EMG 81 (bridge) pickups, it's ready for everything from deep and contemplative sounds to the most screaming, aggressive tones imaginable. A set-neck design, it's easy to get quickly up to the highest frets. It features a mahogany body with maple cap, a one=piece mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo frets. The E-II Eclipse DB includes high-end components like Dunlop Straploks, Gotoh locking tuners, and a Gotoh TOM bridge and tailpiece. Like all instruments in our E-II Series, the Eclipse DB is made in Japan at ESP’s Tokyo factory. Includes hardshell case.

      Are the frets on E-II eclipses, nickel or stainless steel?

              With all black hardware this guitar would be even more beautiful.

                      Totally!! And please please do this colour in the set-thru neck shape!! That is the most comfortable neck I’ve ever played on an LP style.

                        Hi,

                        I bought this guitar since some months and it's a very good guitar to play!

                        Only "issue" i have a fret buzz on the first lower string E at the first fret... truss rod is well , action of the chords is ok not too low...Strin gauge it's the same than original 10/46

                        Have you an idea? known problem ?

                         

                        Thanks

                        David

                          Without actually seeing the guitar it would be hard to pinpoint as it could be a myriad of things.  First recommendation would be to setup the instrument, if you need further assistance you can contact our service department at customerservice@espguitars.com

                            Hey David,
                            same here. I guess nearly all of these models have that issue and it's not done with a simple setup - forget it! I worked at a guitar store and a customers guitar, my own and a guitar from another shop had the exact same problem. The ESP Service here in Germany sucks so bad that after nearly two years, with a broken heart, I decided to give mine back. Nobody from the ESP distribution Germany - Sound Service - was able to fix it. And without replacing the nut (what would be a shame because of the then damaged binding) no 3rd party luthier could help me.
                            Wasn't expecting that kind of tragedy for nearly 2k. The "reclamation" lasted for 6 month with a lot of "you're the problem, not the guitar".
                            I was really pissed and because of this experience I will never ever buy an ESP (at least in Germany) again.
                            It's a shame, otherwise the guitar would be perfect.


                            Best wishes
                            Sebastian
