Featuring 2 x EMG Pick Ups - the 81 in the bridge position is a high output pick up which is lends itself perfectly to lead guitar as it will drive tube amps fairly hard making it an excellent choice for power rock and roll and heavy rock.
The 60 in the neck is another exceptional choice for heavy rock styles with bright attack and high output the pick up allows the guitar to crunch through the mix on stage lending itself well to rhythmn playing. In fact, this is the same pick up as you'll find on James Hetfield's signature ESP models, and we all know that he has a HUGE sound.
This particular model is equipped with an original floyd rose unit transorming the guitar from a rock guitar power-house into an all out shred machine.
In addition, the necks on all the Japanese ESPs are simply outstanding. The Thin-U shaped neck is as smooth as silk all round and the Ebony fret board is gorgeous and very very smooth.
The combination of solid tone woods, the quality EMG pick ups and exceptional build quality and attention to every detail make the Eclipse I CTM a serious piece of kit. There is simply nothing more "ROCK" than this instrument.
