              I read somewhere that they now have a factory in the US as well and have already added a few new models to their range and are planning a lot more.
              When I think ESP I think Hetfield and Hammet :-[. Will be cool to see if they bring out models aimed at other genres as well (how a bout a nice thinline singlecut with a bigsby for instance...) and how successful they will be if they do. The quality of ESP and even their LTD range has never been disputed, but they will have a lot of work to do to change perceptions about them being a "metal" brand. But hey, if Ibanez could do it, I'm sure ESP can as well. Good luck to them.
                No hyperlink, so yeah, no pic was added to the post ?
                  I had an LTD EC-500 which is a 'cheaper' model of the Eclipse, and it was a fantastic guitar. I actually do miss it, and wish a little that I hadn't sold it. Very comfortable to play, and with the EMG's, a great tone too!

                  The comments about them only being perceived as metal guitars is unfortunately true, partly attributed to the EMG pups in them, but I found the EMG's to be very clean and full sounding, and great for so many other styles of music. The only 'fault' and drawback I found with them is that being active pickups, you don't get any real signs that the battery is about to go.... It just starts distorting suddenly, then shortly after dies.

                  Great guitar, and the ESP Eclipse I would imagine could only be even better, though the quality of my EC-500 was very very high to begin with!

                  Regards
                  G!
                    It's interesting that you got a USA model here, I would've thought those would only be sold in the USA initially - may I ask where you got it?
                      I only get it tomorrow so will post a pic tomorrow. that's why I ask you guys what do you think about esp guitars I got this one for a good deal but never played on a esp or ltd guitar before.
                        Hmmm... don't like the colour - therefore it'll sound bad. But as long as you're happy with it
                          I had an ESP Truckster for some time. (James Hetfield signature model) The Truckster is basically an Eclipse with some cosmetic work done to it. Was a brilliant quality and sounding axe. Based on my experience with one, I have the highest regard for ESP guitars... I'd buy/recommend one in a heart beat.
                            Here is the pics of the guitar. The guys got it wrong cause this was made in japan just on the case it says made in the usa .

                                Nice! I wanted to buy one of these (second hand) just last week, but it looked too much like a scam. Where did you buy it from?

                                    no I really got it for a good deal from my suppliers but I will do a recording tonight on logic pro x and let your guys hear how it sounds. I'm very impressed how the emg active pickups are.
