Looking for a ESP Eclipse Semi-Acoustic guitar

April 2, 2004 5:57 PM

I don't want to turn AxMe into a wanted ads page, (although in a way, I guess it is...) but I've been after an ESP Eclipse Semi-Acoustic guitar for over two years now, with no luck. [More Inside]

They were discontinued in 1999, but Dam Amrich has a made a page devoted to them, since there's very little about. Google only turns one up for sale at the moment, at Purple Guitars (an eerily vocational store), and they're asking almost twice the going rate, plus $250 shipping to the UK. eBay hasn't yielded anything on either side of the Atlantic for over a year. Does anyone know of any centralised, up-to-date, guitar user sales sites? In the UK?

I guess you could call guitar shops in the US until you find one. There's a famous Louisville shop with lots of old guitars that the stones would visit while on tour...[google moment]

Guitar Emporium of Louisville

I want to get an epiphone pr100, but it's called a "beginner" guitar. I'm not that good, so does it matter? I just want something that doesn't have a painful action and sounds reasonably bright. I haven't played in a while..

I would call the Guitar Center in Los Angeles, off the top of my head.

I can't imagine there would not be someone just as good or better, here in the UK. But what do I know? I play keyboards.
