ESP E-II Eclipse DB – Granite Sparkle
 
Okay.
So apparently subtlety is cancelled.
 
This ESP E-II Eclipse DB in Granite Sparkle looks like it was forged in a secret underground lab where they only listen to riffs and crush gemstones for fun. From across the room it’s dark and classy. Up close? It’s like someone sandblasted a tuxedo and filled it with starlight.
 
This is not your uncle’s polite single cut. This is the “tighten the strap and question your life choices” version.
 
Mahogany body. Set neck. Ebony board with those bold flag inlays that basically say, “Yes, I play fast.”

24.75 scale so it still feels like home.

EMGs onboard because of course. You didn’t buy Granite Sparkle to play jazz brunch.
The EMGs are tight, punchy, and unapologetic. Palm mutes hit like a controlled demolition. Leads slice. Chugs are percussive. It’s surgical but still mean. The kind of guitar that makes you accidentally downpick harder than you planned.
 
Gotoh locking tuners keep it locked in. Locking bridge and tailpiece keep everything solid. The build quality is exactly what you’d expect from the E-II line — clean, precise, no nonsense.
 
And let’s talk finish again because it deserves it. This thing doesn’t just sparkle. It glitters aggressively. It’s basically charcoal metallic armor. It looks like it should come with a villain monologue.
 
Condition? Mint.
Not “mint for its age.”
Not “mint if you squint.”

Actual mint. No dings. No buckle rash. No “battle scars.” Just clean, shiny menace.
Original hardshell case included. Case candy included. Yes, you get the goodies.
If you want a single cut that looks refined until the lights hit it and then suddenly turns into a supervillain, this is it.
 
Granite Sparkle.
Because black was too basic.
