ESP USA Eclipse Electric Guitar - Hellfire Finish | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The ESP USA Eclipse is one of the most celebrated single-cut electric guitars in rock and metal, and this Hellfire finish example brings that legacy to life with a malevolently stunning gloss top and uncompromising USA-built construction. Built around a full-thickness, weight-relieved mahogany body crowned with a carved maple top, it delivers the thick, resonant warmth and punishing midrange that have made the Eclipse a staple on stages and in studios worldwide. This guitar is purpose-built for the serious rock and metal player who demands the finest materials, hardware, and electronics available at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls.
Product Overview
The Eclipse USA body is crafted from full-thickness, weight-relieved mahogany topped with a carved maple cap — a classic pairing that balances the mahogany's warm, sustain-rich character with the maple top's added clarity and definition. The Hellfire gloss finish is a visually arresting treatment that gives the guitar a dark, fiery presence on stage, and ESP's flawless USA-level craftsmanship ensures the finish is as durable as it is striking.
The 3-piece, graphite-reinforced mahogany neck is built for long-term stability and consistency, resisting warping and dead spots even under demanding playing conditions. The Thin U neck profile moves effortlessly under the fretting hand, while the flat 12" radius ebony fingerboard with 22 Jescar Extra Jumbo stainless steel frets delivers a fast, smooth playing surface with excellent note clarity and fret life far beyond standard nickel. Set-through neck construction extends the neck wood deep into the body for enhanced sustain and seamless upper-register access.
Electronics are anchored by an EMG 57/66 active humbucker set — the EMG 66 in the neck position for PAF-inspired warmth and dimension, and the EMG 57 at the bridge for contemporary punch, tightness, and aggressive output. Premium hardware rounds out the package with a TonePros T3BT locking Tune-o-matic bridge, T1Z locking tailpiece, Gotoh Magnum locking tuners, a bone nut, and Dunlop Straploks — every component chosen for reliability and performance.

Key Features
Weight-Relieved Mahogany Body with Carved Maple Top The full-thickness mahogany body provides deep, resonant sustain and warm low-mid response, while the carved maple top adds articulation and note definition — and the weight-relief keeps the guitar comfortable through long playing sessions at 9.20 lbs.
3-Piece Graphite-Reinforced Mahogany Neck The multi-piece, graphite-reinforced construction dramatically improves neck rigidity and long-term stability compared to a standard single-piece neck, ensuring consistent playability and reliable truss rod response over years of use.
Jescar Extra Jumbo Stainless Steel Frets on Ebony Fingerboard The flat 12" radius ebony fingerboard is ideal for fast lead work and precise bending, and the Jescar Extra Jumbo stainless steel frets offer an exceptionally smooth, durable playing surface that will outlast nickel frets many times over.
EMG 57/66 Active Humbucker Set The EMG 66 neck pickup delivers warm, vocal, PAF-inspired tone with modern clarity, while the EMG 57 bridge pickup provides tight, aggressive output with excellent articulation under high gain — together they cover the full spectrum of rock and metal tone.
TonePros Locking Hardware & Gotoh Magnum Tuners The TonePros T3BT locking Tune-o-matic bridge and T1Z locking tailpiece lock down for maximum resonance transfer and intonation stability, while Gotoh Magnum locking tuners and a bone nut ensure the guitar stays in tune through anything.
