Loaded to the max with everything a high-level player needs, the ESP E-II Eclipse FR is built around a resonant single-cut mahogany body with a head-turning quilted maple top. Lightning-fast playability is the name of the game, thanks to a Thin "U" mahogany neck, 12-inch-radius ebony fingerboard, and 22 extra-jumbo, stainless steel frets. The E-II Eclipse FR comes loaded with two incredibly versatile ? and scorching-hot ? Fishman Fluence Modern active humbuckers, and its set-through construction ensures maximum sustain and note definition. Diving and squealing is a piece of cake with this axe, courtesy of a Floyd Rose Original double-locking trem, which includes high-performance stainless steel upgrades. Moreover, the E-II Eclipse FR's Gotoh locking tuners give it ultra-reliable tuning stability while facilitating super-fast string changes. Stunning white binding, mother-of-pearl banner fingerboard inlays, an attention-grabbing gloss finish, and aggressive-looking black hardware round out the E-II Eclipse FR. If you're ready to rock, the ESP E-II Eclipse FR is ready and willing to oblige.





Effortlessly playable Thin "U" neck





Players have flocked to ESP's top-notch axes for nearly a half-century for myriad reasons. With the E-II Eclipse FR's silky-smooth and speedy Thin "U" maple neck, you'll understand why. When paired with this 6-string's set-through design, you get unencumbered access to all 22 extra-jumbo, stainless-steel frets on this guitar's 12-inch-radius, ebony fingerboard ? the perfect recipe for finger-twisting solos, breakneck tapping, and soaring arpeggio-based lines.





Fluence Modern active pickups for endless tonal options





Thanks to the ESP E-II Eclipse FR's Fishman Fluence Modern pickups, you'll be able to harness multiple eras of sought-after humbucker tones. These pickups provide you with your choice of two unique, selectable voices. Revel in the tight bass, crisp highs, and subtle growl supplied by the Fluence's modern active pickup voice. If you're feeling a bit gnarly, these pickups' high-output humbucker voice is tailor-made for distortion. Guitarists at Sweetwater are blown away by the range of sounds that can be milked out of the E-II Eclipse FR, and we're confident that you will be, too.





Squeal and dive all night long with Floyd Rose





When it comes to expressive tremolo playing, nothing beats a Floyd Rose. The E-II Eclipse FR comes stock with a Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo, complete with stainless steel upgrades, that's tailor-made for subtle warbles, screaming squeals, and everything in between. Even better, the double-locking system keeps your guitar in tune while adding seemingly endless sustain. Pick up the E-II Eclipse FR, throw on the whammy bar, and go wild all night long.
