Eclipse-I CTM Paul Landers owners, look in here

[Deadpulse]

please please post pics if you got them

[P.D.]

That guitar is so wunderbar :)

[gainiac]

I just bought the last one at DCGL. It's a standard series maybe, but it's a bit of a hybrid in that area, I think. ESP USA provided certs for it. It was clearly not designed for the US given the Gibson control layout. And it's an Eclipse I CTM really, not an Eclipse II in drag. Oh well. I won't know til I plug it in, but holy crap it looks cool. I'll get pics in a few days.

I don't understand how that is a Paul Landers guitar i've never seen him play it. He has a Les Paul Custom Gibson....

[gainiac]

I don't really know who he is. So it doesn't really matter to me. In fact, I didn't see any obvious signatures on the front, which is a good thing. Just looks like a wicked Eclipse to me. I'm hoping it sounds that way too. I actually only own Navigator LPs in this style of guitar, so this will be my first Eclipse.

Dude, Paul Landers i the rythm guitarist in Rammstein

[Microdomus]

Post some pics goddamn it!!!

[gainiac]

Oh, I know he's in Rammstein. I just don't ever watch or listen to them, never enough to learn the names of the guys in the band. It's just a cool guitar appearance-wise. I'm more of a Metallica fan - figure I'm getting something close to Hetfield's eclipse, with a look more to my taste. Locking tuners, EMGs, black and chrome. Pretty cool. Pics - take a gander at the DCGL site for now. I'll post some of mine when I get it. Shipped yesterday. Arriving early this week I imagine.

Something else about this model - has the more Gibson-like treble bout/horn - note that it's more rounded, and reaches up to the 19th fret, whereas the Eclipse standard only gets to about the 21st fret and is much charper. Along with the four knobs, I'm pretty surprised ESP shipped this to the US.

Is the PL full thickness?

[ESPVIPERCAMO]

No

[gainiac]

Got the guitar yesterday. It's not full thickness. Funny, there's not a signature anywhere on it. Just feels and looks like a wicked pre-lawsuit Eclipse. Brighter than my LP due to the ebony and the thinner mahogany body. The playability is great with that matte finish. And believe it or not, it comes with an ESP Custom Shop certificate - from the certificate, you'd think this was made in the ESP Custom Shop.

In person the binding and features are definitely a silver/chrome not as white-appearing as in the photo. The whole guitar in unplugged tone and feel reminds me of the Zemaitis that I played at Maken' Music this summer. I think that Zemaitis was like $6500...
