ESP's Eclipse body style blends classic looks with modern performance





Nothing screams hard rock like ESP's timeless Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the Eclipse EC-256FM truly epic sustain; whereas its slightly arched top provides you with comfortable hand positioning, no matter your picking style. Add to that a super-sharp cutaway, which gives you open access to the Eclipse EC-256FM's upper frets, and you're ready for unobstructed playing freedom.

Set-neck construction gives you exceptional sustain





The set-in mahogany neck on the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256FM provides a more solid connection to the body than you get with a bolt-on neck design. That means better vibrational transfer from the neck to the body, which results in faster attack and longer-lasting sustain. Plug in the Eclipse EC-256, turn your amplifier up, and you'll see exactly what we mean.
