The Eclipse '87 by LTD is a replica of the eponymous electric guitar by the mutte company ESP from 1987. In the meantime, you can find Single Cuts (LP shape) under this name, not unlike a great American legend.
So that the design, which caused a sensation at the time, does not fall into oblivion, LTD has set about presenting a modern interpretation. The body corresponds roughly to a Tele shape. But that's all that has been incorporated into the American tradition. The neck is composed of three pieces of maple. Fitted into a mahogany body with an arched top, the result is a brilliant vibration behaviour with immense sustain reserves.
The pickups are a pair of Seymour Duncan ('59/ JB SH-4), which were often used in the 80s and 90s on various "noble" guitars by Hamer, Patrick Eggle and of course ESP. The sound is rich without suffering from dynamic losses. Singing lead sounds and hammer-hard riffs are no problem. Because the humbuckers are designed to be split, very sensitive sounds can be elicited from the wood.
The Eclipse '87 is well-balanced and convinces with ergonomically advantageous shapings - a testimony to the achievements in guitar building that the Japanese were already capable of in the 80s.
