Hey folks. I just recently dove into the world of ESP by buying an Eclipse II a few weeks back. She's in VHB finish with EMGs, so she's got some pretty nasty tone to her. I decided to take the plunge after my buddy bought an LTD EC-1000... I was pretty impressed with it so I decided to get my own (though I wanted the full-fledged ESP model). Anyway, I love the hell out of it.

Oh, and I've got a question for anyone owning a satin finish Eclipse... Is there anything special you do to clean/maintain your finish? I've been lurking around the boards for a while now, and I've seen a few complaints of shiny areas on satin finishes in places where your arms/hands rest against the guitar. I was just wondering if there's some trick to prevent this, other than just wiping it down with a soft rag after playing it. I've never owned a satin finish guitar before, so I have no idea.

Anyway, here's a few pics...

Looks very nice man. You could probably just by some dunlop guitar cleaner and gently wipe it down with a rag after playing.

Jesus...you've gotta be the third person I've seen on this board with my guitar...

Indeed. I was actually looking for one in the ACSB finish originally. But it seems like there was a period of several months where that color never came across ebay. So my GAS for an Eclipse finally overwhelmed me and I "settled" for one in the honeyburst finish. I certainly was pleased when it got here. Most of the pics on ESP's site and around the rest of the web really don't do this finish justice. It's absolutely beautiful in person. Not to mention how smooth the satin finish plays and how awesome she sounds.

Indeed. Mine cropped up second hand at a stupid price so I grabbed it. I love the satin finish, I wish all my guitars could be satin finished :lol
