Single-cut looks meet bold alder tone

Nothing screams sonic mayhem quite like ESP’s Eclipse body style. The extra mass of this single-cutaway design gives the LTD Mille Petrozza Eclipse EC-FR truly epic sustain, but there’s a distinct tonewood twist. Eclipse bodies are usually carved from mahogany, but Mille Petrozza prefers alder, which lends itself to richer harmonics that helped produce countless high-octane riffs of the 1980s and beyond. Furthermore, a maple neck provides a double dose of that ’80s-inspired character with a noticeably quick attack for an undeniably visceral playing experience.

This set-neck makes a difference!

A maple neck construction not only enhances the LTD Mille Petrozza Eclipse EC-FR’s attack but also takes resonance and sustain to the upper limits with neck-through construction that outshines the performance of bolt-on guitar necks! With a virtually seamless neck joint, the LTD Mille Petrozza Eclipse EC-FR howls with long-lasting sustain that's a must-have when it comes to articulate leads and massive power chords. Moreover, the neck boasts an ultra-rugged multi-piece maple design. A favorite neck design among pros, a multi-piece neck offers enhanced stability that’s critical when traveling between gigs and rehearsals.

Legendary active humbuckers and a fresh X preamp

Two of EMG’s finest active humbucking pickups were chosen to deliver this guitar’s rich, sustaining voice. The bridge position EMG 81 churns out hot treble-forward tone using ceramic magnets to accommodate high-gain aggression and mix-cutting leads. This pickup is one of the most popular EMGs ever made, and for good reason! An EMG 85 occupies the neck position with a more bass-forward sound that’s perfect for heavy rhythms and beatdowns. What’s more, these classic EMG pickups are now more dynamic and supported by an X Series preamp. The X series preamp boasts a wider frequency response and increased headroom — two significant improvements that merge our favorite active and passive pickups into a sound that’s strikingly familiar yet incredibly fresh.
