ESP Eclipse Archtop 90's Blue Sparkle – Your Tone Deserves Glitter
This guitar is the equivalent of crashing a tuxedoed jazz recital in a monster truck full of glitter and refusing to leave until someone hands you a smoke machine and a wireless pack. What you’re looking at is a full-blown ESP Custom Shop Eclipse Archtop from the glorious madness of the 1990s — back when ESP was building guitars for rock gods, comic book villains, and maybe even a few time travelers.
Let’s start with that Blue Sparkle finish — a rare spec for this model, and an absolutely unhinged visual choice in the best possible way. This isn’t just sparkle. This is weaponized glitter. It reflects light like it’s trying to signal passing aircraft. You don’t play this guitar to blend in — you play it to trigger fire codes and blind the competition.
It’s a semi-hollow, technically. But spiritually, it’s a rock ‘n roll séance. You’ve got a single f-hole (because two would be polite), a trapeze tailpiece that looks like it was borrowed from a 1950s jukebox crime ring, and batwing inlays that scream “I haunt the stage now.”
Condition? Excellent, with a healthy dose of natural patina on the metal hardware — earned the honest way, through decades of loud amps and questionable decisions. Nothing fake here. This guitar’s got stories. Most of them can’t be told without legal counsel.
The humbuckers are aged and angry. Plug it in and it’ll bark, bite, and ask for more gain. It sounds like glam rock got into a fistfight with jazz and somehow everyone won.
Stamped ESP Custom Guitars on the back, which is ESP code for, “This was built by wizards who shred.” Comes with its original hardshell case and enough stage presence to make your other guitars feel deeply insecure.
