Yeah. I was just playing it straight into my '65 Ampeg Reverberocket. I could do a gig with this amp without an OD!I have Firebird Ants in mine. It's a total tone machine. Does not get simpler than that. Eclipse, chord and old Fender Super Champ = vintage tone heaven.
That's what saved my wallet on this one.Thankfully it's black. Im probably in the minority here, just not a fan of black guitars. Otherwise, great guitar
Same here. Fantastic tone for days!!!I have Firebird Ants in mine. It's a total tone machine. Does not get simpler than that. Eclipse, cable and old Fender Super Champ = vintage tone heaven.
Amen. Don't get me wrong I love the Eclipse and especially this one with the Duncan Antiquity pups. But I gotta see woodgrain. It doesn't need to be flamey, or birdseye, or anything exotic. I just like seeing the grain of Mahogany or Spruce or Ash or Maple....show me the wood! Slider313, refin? /emoticons/default_wink.pngThat's what saved my wallet on this one.Thankfully it's black.

Well, I could try a couple of bottles of paint stripper and see what we have under that black. ;-0Amen. Don't get me wrong I love the Eclipse and especially this one with the Duncan Antiquity pups.

The Eclipse was always split between stained mahogany & solid colors. I had 6- and 12-stringers both in (transparent) vintage orange (VO), and they also made'em in cherry mahogany. But they also had solid metallic blue/green and (IIRC) black. I loved the look of my VO Eclipses, but compared to those clangy, edgy stock Duncans, I'd take the Antiquities over color. Besides, black goes with anything.Amen. Don't get me wrong I love the Eclipse and especially this one with the Duncan Antiquity pups. But I gotta see woodgrain.
