ESP E-II Eclipse DB VB

This is the Guitar i happen to choose after selling my Esp m2 that I previously had for many years, It is a tottally different guitar Though i did not regret since it has became my favorite.
The Vintage appearance is outstanding and the materials used are of top quality.The Finish comes in matte black giving it a slightly blurry look after using it which imo is a very nice look considering the vintage presentation of the instrument.
Gotoh locking tunners are working perfectly and it is always a nice spec to have.
The freatboard is a dream.I totally love it, the shape , the grip at hand, everything.
The sound is full bodied, with nice attack and overall frequency cover making this instrument ideal for rythm section playing, i do not found it ideal for shredding due to the limited scale length Though it can always support some basic lead playing.
The cleans are crystal clear as well enabling the guitar to be suitable for many music genres apart from heavy music.
This is my favorite guitar of all times.
Apparently i did not find any cons for this instrument.Everything was as it should, starting from the finish, then to materials and playability.
I will definatelly not change this Guitar .

I`ve needed a guitar beside my Gibson les paul standard for a bit of a hi -gain fun.
Well...i found it !
Made in Japan.
Delivered from the best (and for me the only)german music store in Europe.
There`s no better combination.
The guitar came beatifully packed and secured.
WOW effect big time!!!
Nothing new from Thomann;-)(thanks again !)
This is my first guitar from ESP and if i should be honest i was a bit nervous about the quality of the guitar since i read about ESP-s new confusing "labeling system".
Well ...thank God the whole gossip what you can find on different forums on the net are not true.
The guitar is very precisely made to the smallest details and the tone is exactly as i`ve expected from an Eclipse from ESP.
Ok...it does not say ESP with huge letters on the headstock on it...And?!
You can`t see it anyway while playing.
For me it`s the perfect second guitar.

I play mostly Metallica songs so ESP with active EMG 81/60 pickups was my dream guitar.

After unboxing the guitar was almost perfectly tuned what suprised me a lot after long trip around the world from Japan to EU and also was perfectly adjusted from factory, I just had to lower the strings to height I’m used to. I need to note, that the craftmanship in ESP factory is the best I ever saw and I can compare it with some big brands I have in my collection like Gibson custom shop and Fender custom shop. The guitar is absolutely flawless in quality.

Positives: Sound is amazing, sustain long, tuning stability more than very good.

Only negative for me is the ESP logo missing on the headstock, because this guitar deserves the ESP family name.
