ESP Review: Standard Eclipse 2

History: all of my friends play. A couple even made it. (can't say who)So for years i've fiddled around, play the odd fill in role when someone pulled a no-show but i'm a hacker none the least. I play everthing but i am a huge fan of Dimebag, Mustaine and Zack Wylde. I broke my back a few years ago and during recovery i was going insane not being able to get around. So to make a long story short I bought a Jackson DK2FS and Spider2. After becoming a now mediocre hacker it was time to upgrade my axe.

Purchase: I wanted to buy a Jackson USA but to no availe. there were none around so I checked out esp. I purchased a ESP std eclipse. I paid 2k cdn funds at axe music in edmonton alberta.

What I Like About This ESP Standard Eclipse 2: this guitar is flawless. end of story.

What I Do NOT Like About The ESP Standard Eclipse 2: A month after bringing my baby home it needed a serious truss rod adjustment but this is to be expected with the extreme dry climate in alberta. I knew this would happen but i had to write something.

ESP Standard Eclipse 2 Quality Rating: mahogany body / quilted maple top 3pc mahagony set neck emg81 in the bridge and a 60 in the neck gotoh tune-o-matic w/ stop tail peice spregel locking tuners whole thing is bound incredible finish

Review Summary: bottom line: I'll always love jackson 'cause she was my first but i always reach for the esp. At least i'm not cheating on my wife. All jokes aside i believe ESP got it right when they perfected the "les paul". The ESP STD. ECLIPSE is simply amazing and 1/2 the price of real les paul.

Rating of this ESP product: 5
