| Quality:
| The quality is up there with some of the higher priced ESP's. |
| Sound:
| Bright and Smooth, when I used it with my Randall MTS RM-50 (Top Boost module). |
| Reliability:
| About 6 months old and still all in one piece |
| Overall:
| Well built indeed. Would and have recommended this guitar to anyone that wants a really nice classic looking guitar, with a sweet feel. |
| Playability and Feel:
| Guitar was slightly heavier than I thought it would be. Neck is great and felt awesome throughout. |
| Tone:
| I found the Bridge Pickup to be Bright, and the Neck Pickup to be Smooth. I suck at explaining Tone, just play one to find out. |
| Finish:
| The finish was much better in person, warmer I guess you could say (Amber Cherry Sunburst). |
| Action:
| Out of the box, it needed some love to get it rockin' |

| Quality:
| This feels rock solid, everything looks good, there is a good fit and finish feel that other guitars I hefted before finally decided on this didn't have. My Fender has 24 frets and this one has 22, but |
| Sound:
| From the first strum I could hear great sound, which is a better advantage over the rough sound from prior guitars. |
| Reliability:
| I've only had this for less than a month so there is not much experience with this question, check back later |
| Overall:
| Very nice, smooth and clean good appearance, great neck. Strings seem a little tinny but that may be just because they are new. My other guitar is a Fender Showmaster and the difference can be compared from driving a truck to driving a sports car. The Fender is serviceable and was a good first guitar, but then this guitar comes along and it's like driving a Porsche down a winding road, great feel, good handling.
I've got it hooked to a Lunchbox Amp and when you crank the gain and turn up the ESP you can wail, rock and sing the blues in your biggest concert hall... |
| Playability and Feel:
| As mentioned, the comparison from Old Fender Showmaster to New ESP Eclipse II VB is like night and day. The Fender was a reliable truck heft, feel and play while the ESP Eclipse is more sports car, faster, lighter and good looking. You want to be seen 'wearing' this guitar. |
| Tone:
| Hard for me to describe, when my instructor can play he'll better give a more professional opinion.
To me, it sounds great using the Lunchbox Amp I can put the Guitar and amp into a gig bag and play all night. |
| Finish:
| Paint job was/is flawless, no nicks, scratches or dents. Color is even and pure. I have the Vintage Black and there are no shiny spots. |
| Action:
| Good action, great feel, I felt I could play a little better with this. After tuning everything fell into place. |
| Skill Level:
| Beginner |
