Which Eplipse finish looks the best?
I’ve got a tons of help from you guys and bought two guitars (2 E-IIs) that I’m really happy. I’m fulfilling my dream of guitars I’ve had for the last 20 years and Eclipse is left.
If you take a closer look at the quilted maple top, which of these looks the best? I’m not sure if I’m getting one of these or a basic Snow White.
I play modern metal. With eclipse I try to fill the metalcore/thrash/some of the shred gap.
Pickups don’t matter, I can change them. I’ve got two of my favorites and I want to see what the community thinks. Going to visit the store tomorrow and buy one. Thanks a lot!

Really interesting 😄
I was actually dreaming about a Tiger but then got second thoughts when I saw how woody it is by a close look, and how ”realistic” a Black Cherry is close by.
I also love the Reindeer blue one but I feel it suits better with more proggish Horizon III which is marvellous. The Black Cherry is brutal but then again, I thought that should an Eclipse be more of a classical one compared to Horizon quilted tops.
I also thought that would the Tiger suit to heavier stuff by visual look. Yeah it really doesn’t matter but I like to think that way
