The Story:
I picked this one up thinking it might be “too much” — too shiny, too flashy, too hot. But man, was I wrong. The Red Sparkle finish pops under stage lights and somehow still looks classy up close. And the tone? Forget about it. Between the EMG combo and that thick mahogany body, you’re getting punch, sustain, and searing leads for days.
It’s clean as a whistle, barely a smudge, and still has that new guitar smell. I gave it a full setup and fresh strings, so it’s ready to go as soon as you open the case. Whether you’re gigging, recording, or just collecting, this Eclipse belongs in your lineup.
