New Guitar ESP Eclipse I CTM VW

[Hurley]

Hey! well I just bought a ESP Eclipse off G from Sylosis (www.myspace.com/sylosis check them out!) I will take some better pics when i acctually get it! I wasnt sure about the vintage white finish at first as i wanted the snow white but i think this looks more classy and is more randy rhoades/zakk wylde style! plus it has a satin finish on the neck which the snow white doesnt!






Only bad news is i am going to have to sell my esp mh1000 to help pay for it!

Gorgeous!

I totally dig those Eclipses - They're phenomenal guitars - MUCH better than current Les Pauls.

well to tell you the truth....and i never normally do this when buying guitars...but i have never played one as i couldnt find anywhere that stocked them...so i just took a risk and figured if i dont like it i will just sell it...im sure i will though!! this will be my first proper ESP..i have owned a few LTD's in the past and have been happy with them so have high expectations for this!

[BloodMountain]

looks great!

sylosis are getting really well known really quickly, so in a way it's a rock star's guitar! (well, metal star)

that looks better than any Gibsons, too.... loving the inlays!

I'd have bought one of those a long time ago if I could get used to those inlays. The guitars are great, but christ I hate those damn flag things.

very nice- i tried an eclipse II in see-thru black ages ago, was impressed.

I like the flags, but i could see how they could take your attention... they kind of ripple, look like they're moving!

i may have to sell this guitar now as i really cant afford it and have too many things to pay off so if anyone in the UK is interested let me know :( i aslo have a bareknuckle/dimarzio loaded ibanez which im mayhave to sell :(

[indysmith]

[Hurley]

a customised rg370dx......air norton in the neck miracle man in the bridge....custom hum/hum pickguard.....sperzal locking tuners and cts pots and hovland cap.....umm yeah spent loads on it!

I totally agree. If I was going to drop a grand on an LP-style guitar, you can be damn sure my first ports of call would be the Fernandes Monterey and the ESP Eclipses.

You mentioned an mh1000- the ltd version?  How much would you be willing to sell that for?

How much for each?

[Hurley]

i am open to offers on the eclipse and the ibanez. bearing in mind the eclipse is in MINT condition and has had a pro setup and they retail for £1300. to be honest id rather not sell the ibanez if i didnt have to..it has alot of memories! so it would only be a last resort but still open to offers. the mh1000 i dnt think i am going to sell unless i have to either and i would be open to offers on that as well.....all the guitars have been pro setup. but yeah right now my aim is the eclipse as this is what i would get most money from! so if anyone is willing to make a reasonable offer let me know! i will definately be buying another one in the future when i have more money!

[Mr Ed]

I offer £30 for both and, to sweeten the deal, I'll also thrown in 3 years worth of back issues of Total Guitar and Guitarist magazines.
