ESP LTD Eclipse ’87 NT: Classic 1980s-Inspired Electric Guitar with Seymour Duncan Pickups and Neck-Thru-Body Construction

The ESP LTD Eclipse ’87 NT is an electric guitar from the LTD ’87 Series, faithfully recreating the distinctive designs featured in ESP’s 1987 catalog. Inspired by the original Eclipse model, which was based on the TE archtop shape rather than the modern single-cutaway Eclipse design, this guitar captures the character of ESP’s influential 1980s instruments. Featuring neck-thru-body construction, a mahogany body, and a three-piece maple neck, the Eclipse ’87 NT combines classic styling with versatile performance. It comes equipped with a Seymour Duncan ’59 neck humbucker and JB bridge humbucker, featuring original-style bobbins and a push-pull coil-split control. A TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece complete the hardware setup. Available in Pearl White and Turquoise finishes.
