Clever! Can't wait to see the finished product. I went a quite a bit more simple with mine. I went with a DRS Racks type theme. (No pics as not to clutter your thread.)

That's a rough choice. I can't believe the market has gotten that crazy. Yours isn't the "typical" MX, but still. I don't know what I'd decide to do.

? Yeah, it's knowledge that's gotten me far in life; babes, mansions, endorsement deals... Maybe I'll start a thread of "old but not vintage Les Pauls" for people to post 70s and 80s Gibsons.

That's not at all true. By the time ESP went to the 4-knob layout, the Eclipse guitars were all the thinner body. The Gibson thickness (referred to as full thickness) didn't really come about until 2007. Here's a video of the information included in the ESP Forum thread: Exo, is this the...

Also a big fan of the 4-knob Eclipse. I love the look of the chrome and black, though I had one with chrome and blacked it out, too. :ROFLMAO:

The 40th shows last December focused on at least one song per album each night. KEA to Hardwired the first night, Hardwired to KEA the second. A handful of uncommon songs played as part of the setlists, including the live debut of Fixxxer on the Friday. For these tours, probably not quite as...

I have tickets to see them in Boston. August 2024. I have GA / Field tickets and after fees they were $200 per night. They've been doing the day-off between shows for quite a while now. But playing two shows in the same city is a fairly recent thing. They started the idea with festivals in...

Forgot one. Black limba.

I know they're not the highest sought after guitars, but I do like the maple necks on mine. Good size and shape and they feel great. I also think the stock T-tops sound great. I haven't replaced the 300kohm pots in either one, but I've heard putting in 500kohm can open them up a bit.

The wine red is starting to grow on me. It wasn't something I was interested in years ago. Congrats man! I have 3 LPs from the late 70s (a standard and 2 customs). All are heavy. :ROFLMAO:

Flavors and variations on the theme.

The weight difference isn't all that great. I have traditional thickness Eclipses that range from 7bs 6oz up to 8lbs 10oz. Both of the FTs are 8lbs 12oz. That's lighter by almost 2lbs than any of my Gibsons. The FT guitars have a bit more lower mids, so they sound a bit fuller. I've had a set...

Both of the guitars pictured here are the traditional/thin bodies, but I have a pair of the full thickness models, as well. I kinda have a lot of Eclipses. It's a problem.

Flamed koa, it's quite striking in person. The ESP Custom Shop knows how to build a fine guitar. I'm quite happy with the standard series Eclipses I have, but I couldn't pass up the deal when this one popped up.

Yeah man, I wouldn't worry about it. I think they're plenty strong. They've used this joint on set-through necks since 2014 or 2015. The blue Eclipse is a 4-knob. I have a few of them. I prefer the horn shape on those guitars. I have no idea why, but you can't argue with GAS.

vs (For those who aren't familiar with the new ESP neck joint) Yeah, I don't mind the "old" style. Maybe it's because I grew up playing Gibsons. I've had two with the newer joint and they feel really solid. I've had the neck pickup out on the newer style and I believe (but can't remember...

My opinion, based on selling multiple guitars on Craigslist and getting offers for all manner of things: sell the Corvette, use the money to buy the amp. If I'm listing a piece of gear on CL with a price attached, it's because I'm looking for cash.

It's black limba, the same wood that's commonly called korina. The "korina" wood is the sapwood and the black limba is the heart wood. It was made by my friend Rob. He builds under the name RRR Custom Guitars.
