ESP Standard Eclipse Transparent Cherry Red w/Case

ESP Eclipse Floyd Rose Made in Japan (1995)

A rare early example of ESPs Eclipse design, built during the companys peak Japanese production years and equipped with a factory Floyd Rose system.

This mid-90s Eclipse represents a period when ESP was producing high-performance instruments for serious players, long before the model became widely standardized. Built in Japan, it reflects the craftsmanship and attention to detail that made ESP a go-to brand for touring professionals and studio musicians.

Classic single-cut design with a performance edge
The Eclipse body takes the familiar single-cut shape and refines it with a slimmer, more ergonomic feel. Paired with a Floyd Rose tremolo, this version leans more toward the high-performance side of ESPs lineup, making it ideal for players who want expressive control without sacrificing sustain.

Fast neck, built for real players
The neck profile is thin and comfortable, typical of ESPs mid-90s approach. Its designed for speed and precision, whether youre working through tight rhythm parts or pushing into lead territory. Upper fret access is smooth and unrestricted.

Floyd Rose stability and expression
Factory-equipped with a Floyd Rose tremolo, this Eclipse is built for aggressive playing styles. Dive bombs, wide vibrato, and subtle movement all return to pitch reliably when properly set up.

Premium Japanese craftsmanship
This guitar comes from an era when ESPs Japanese builds were setting the standard for consistency and quality. Fit, finish, and component selection reflect a professional-grade instrument intended for serious use.

Tone that balances power and clarity
Typically outfitted with high-output humbuckers from the era, these guitars deliver tight low end, focused mids, and enough clarity to cut through a mix. Whether used for rock, metal, or fusion styles, it holds together under gain while staying articulate.
