ESP first started in 1975, as a small repair shop in Tokyo, but toward the mid-��80s their guitars and basses started to grab the attention of players around the world. The ESP ��87 series features faithful recreations of this set of instruments from ESP��s 1987 catalog. Unlike the current single-cutaway Eclipse shape, the original ESP Eclipse was based on the TE archtop, which is the basis of the LTD Eclipse ��87. This guitar offers neck-thru-body construction with a mahogany body and 3-piece maple neck. The ��87 Series Eclipse models also feature a set of Seymour Duncan ��59 (neck) and JB (bridge) pickup set (with original style bobbins and a push-pull control to split the coils), and a Floyd Rose-1000 locking tremolo.
