So I know I JUST got my first ESP Custom Shop guitar like a month ago with the ESP Alexi I brought in but you know what they say about GAS....

So I'm in the process of trying to downsize my collection a bit and had a few things up for trade and got offered this bad boy, so who am I to say no to something like this? First of all, I'm an Eclipse whore. I've had 5 ESPs and a handful of LTDs over the years so of course this ticks that box for me AND it's in an insanely cool finish that I've never seen before on one of these. Doing some light googling it looks like this may have been an Axe Palace build. @zimbloth could maybe confirm? From what I can tell it had EMGs initially and the prior owner swapped in Lundgrens which is another HUGE plus for me. This thing is also essentially brand new, the COA says it was still in Japan at the end of January.

Overall I'm just so stoked for this in general. It plays incredibly, it sounds incredible, it looks incredible. Just an overall 10/10 for me as far as first impressions go. Thanks for taking a look!

Sick guitar! HNGD!

Axe Palace has one just like it for sale now, so I'm guessing that's where this one originated.

That is fucking svelte! Congrats! Which Lundgrens are in there? I'm a recent Black Heaven convert and am now curious to see how their other non-M options fair.

I actually don't know! I'll have to take a look when I change the strings and see. I have M7s and M8s in other guitars and they don't sound like an M, so I'll find out.

I'm assuming you got this from Adam? He bought it from AP and had them install the Lundgren Black Heaven pickups.
