eBay sent me a price drop notification this morning, and for the first time ever - it was a drop of more than 20c. Is an Standard Eclipse EC-2, made in Japan by ESP. These things play extremely well out of the box, very unlikely to need a setup. Comes with the usual hardcase.
Have seen these go for $1100-1400 second hand as is; is an absolute steal at $1659. Specific model here goes for around $2100 at other guitar stores (was selling here for $2100 before sudden price drop); RRP is placed at around $2600 (but nobody ever goes by the RRP anyway, site says $3550 which is also supposedly the RRP).
They do NOT make these anymore, they have been replaced by the ESP E-II which is essentially what used to be the LTD Elite lineup: simply inferior in quality. Almost every E-II that I've played has had some kind of defect, whereas each ESP Original has been flawless OOB.
As a guitar nerd who owns a few ESPs and their jdm versions, I approve of this post.
It is a bargain.
