ESP USA Eclipse – Disco Pink Sparkle

Crafted at our ESP USA facility in Southern California, the USA Eclipse Disco Pink Sparkle combines a classic single-cutaway shape with a luxurious maple top in an outstanding and totally unique sparkle finish, with a matched-finish headstock. The USA Eclipse offers a full-thickness mahogany body (60mm / 2 3/8”), strategically weight relieved. It features set-thru construction at classic 24.75” scale for smooth access to the higher frets, using a three-piece thin U-shaped mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard with 22 extra-jumbo Jescar stainless steel frets and mother-of-pearl split-flag inlays.

The USA Eclipse Disco Pink Sparkle has a carefully selected set of components, including Gotoh Magnum Lock tuners, TonePros locking TOM bridge and tailpiece, Dunlop Straplok buttons, and a bone nut. Its direct-mount pickups are Seymour Duncan Pegasus and Sentient set, with push-pull controls and matte black bobbins that match the exceptional aesthetics of this guitar.

The Pegasus/Sentient medium output humbucker pickup set offers progressive players the ultimate palette of modern metal tones. The Pegasus bridge was originally designed for extended range instruments. However, 6 string players immediately demanded we offer a version to call their own. It incorporates an alnico 5 bar magnet and custom winding specs. The goal was to deliver a warm, balanced, responsive, and lush tone for progressive metal. It’s a harmonically rich pickup with a prominent midrange and a focused low end. The high resonant peak makes for a sparkly top end and an incredible “bloom” on chords in high-gain situations. The responsive and accurate pick attack ensures that you will cut through any live mix and will have tight-tracking transients in a studio environment. Because the Pegasus is a moderate output pickup, it works as well for clean tones as it does for distorted tones.

The Sentient neck delivers a balanced, versatile tone that fits right between our iconic ’59 and Jazz model neck pickups. You’ll get pristine cleans and fluid leads under high gain. The Sentient is a very articulate vintage output pickup with great dynamic response and a wide harmonic range. It works great for low tunings in all humbucker-equipped guitars.

Hand built in our Santa Barbara, CA, factory, the Pegasus and Sentient medium output humbucker pickups both feature an alnico 5 bar magnet, nickel silver bottom plate, 4-conductor lead wire for multiple wiring options, and are vacuum wax potted for squeal-free performance.
