Eclipse???

[Citrus]

Thinking of giving one more try on an Eclipse. Have bought and sold a few.  Something about them,....

Anything interesting someone may be parting with??

I have one I could sell to you.  1995, cherry red.  I will post a picture later tonight.  Excellent condition.

If you happen to be interested in an import, there's a dirt cheap Korean Eclipse listed on Marketplace in the Hartford CT region.  I'd nab it if it was closer

Gonna stick with USA and see what pics show up from hamerican gigolo hopefully over the weekend.   Thanks though.

Maybe the photo, but something looks off with how those HBs were installed.

Humbuckers are not original and there is a funny line on back of the headstock.

Just say no to the imports, it's by far the best policy

They’re tempting for modding experiments.

I know, I have done that with six or seven of them, it is very tempting; but my experience is at the end of the day you put in a bunch of work and hopes and effort and it is still vastly inferior, and no matter how good you get it you're always conscious of that, every time you pick it up.. the USA's are just so fantastic

When you can get an import standard for 700 bucks instead of $4,000 it definitely makes sense tho, at least as a placeholder

Yes USA is way better than imports. I just don't recall ever seeing a USA Eclipse in Natural. Was this one stripped?

Fortunately, I've had different experiences.  I've found the imports to be surprisingly good guitars, good enough that some of mine have stayed in my collection when some US Hamers gotten moved along.  The biggest issue with most of them is their lackluster electronics & pickups, so once you swap out that stuff you wind up with a killer budget guitar.
