MGR/just a hacker « ESP Standard Eclipse 2 »
Published on 05/18/06 at 15:00all 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.
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.
this guitar is flawless. end of story.
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.
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
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.
