Th ESP Gary Holt Eclipse FR: Floyd Rose Stability & Classic Build

Gary Holt is the man who was brave enough to step into the big, legendary shoes of Jeff Hanneman as part of the iconic metal band, Slayer. As such, his Signature Series take on the Eclipse needs to be capable of producing superhuman, screaming tone and extreme tremolo effects. All of it starts with a super-stable and accurate Floyd Rose Original tremolo bridge and a locking nut combo, laying down a high-quality foundation. Meanwhile a fast and supple feeling Thin-U neck profile is fully backed up by an ebony fretboard with a flat and light 12 inch radius as well as a full set of twenty-two extra-jumbo frets. Beneath the irresistible Liquid Metal Lava, you'll find a classic LP-style model complete a mahogany neck and mahogany body with a maple top.

The EMG 81 & 89R RED

Two active EMG humbuckers, both complete with colour-matched covers, take up the bridge and neck position and enhance the warmth and resonance of the woody foundation of this guitar with meaty dual-coil sound. The EMG 81 at the bridge brings classic, high-output EMG tone while the EMG 89R at the neck has been precisely placed in the 'sweet spot', just flush with the fretboard, and can be flipped from thick humbucker tone to sparkling single-coil tone at will, completing hyper-variable output. This load-out has been teamed up with a pair of volume control pots and a three-way switch to polish off a 'Repentless', rare creature of a six-string.
