ESP Tokyo's custom shop saw a massive uptick in orders in the 1980s, driven in large part by stage-ready hard rock guitars like the LTD Eclipse '87 NT. The modern incarnation of this classic instrument remains faithful to the original in just about every way, right down to the neck carve and finish options. What really sets this T-style guitar apart are the upgraded Seymour Duncan pickups and TonePros ToM bridge, which give you ready-to-rock tone and performance from the very first time you strap on and tune up. The Eclipse '87 NT's archtop mahogany body and maple neck-through construction ground you to your instrument every time you plug in and crank up. And with its 13.8"-radius ebony fingerboard, this guitar makes playing power chords and leads a total walk in the park. Push-pull passive electronics even let you access single-coil tones when chunky, funky rhythms and classic crystalline cleans are in order.

There's never been a workhorse quite like the iconic "T" to which this Eclipse tips its hat. ESP's LTD Eclipse '87 NT ups the ante for rock and technical players, modernizing the classic single-cutaway design with a sculpted belly cut and beautifully arched top to position your picking hand just where you need it for crushing rhythms and searing leads. The rock-solid maple neck-through construction delivers truckloads of heartstopping sustain into your stage stack of choice. You also get a 13.8"-radius ebony fingerboard crowned with 24 extra-jumbo frets to unlock endless creativity up and down the neck.
Players who are choosy about tuning, action, and intonation will delight in the Eclipse '87 NT's ToM-style TonePros bridge/tailpiece and locking LTD tuners. The TonePros is a common aftermarket upgrade on many single-cut guitars. Its six adjustable saddles provide precise intonation and enhanced sustain for chords and leads. At the other end of the guitar, a set of LTD locking tuners provides slip-free performance, for stage and studio tuning stability you can depend on.
