picked this one up back in July, but I've been waiting to post until I got the pickups installed. ESP LTD Eclipse '87 RI. Mohagany body, maple through neck, ebony board, and 24 3/4" scale. Plays great, the JB/Jazz set were good, but i bought this with the intention of putting the Fishman Modern set in.

Holy cow!!! I absolutely LOVE those carve-top ESP Teles!

Didn't even realize they came in that seafoam green color...really gives me G.A.S.!

Congrats!:banana:

I was just about to say..."Wow. Great looking guitar. Love the color and covered pups. I even like the fret markers. (Not sure about the JB though)".

Then I enlarged the pic and looked at it again. Dang!!! Why'd they have to go and put a pointy on it!

Beautiful guitar! Love everything about it especially the color.

I'd have one myself if it wasn't for the 24 frets. But it is a beautiful guitar- I love that color.

That IS some serious green. Nice.

So, how does it sound with the Fishman's?

Just discovered that model recently, and agree it’s super cool. Also just picked up an older M-1000, and had forgotten how great ESP stuff is.

It sounds good, a little in the bright side, but I'm planning on tuning down to B with it eventually. The only downside I ran into is that I bought the Fishman universal rechargeable battery pack, and it turned out that the control cavituly was too small to use it and use the push/pull pots. So, I decided to use the battery pack, and not have the ability to switch voicing or any of the other switchable features.

Bummer about the push/pulls. I have a guitar with Triple Shots, but I've found over the years that once I found the settings that I liked I just tended to leave them where they were at. I suppose that the same can be done in your case.
