Hi everyone!

I'm about to buy my second ESP guitar, my absolute favorite brand. I found these two models, a 2025 ESP EII Eclipse White Satin and a 2025 ESP EII M1 White Satin. I found the Eclipse in a physical store for €1,500. The dealer claims it's a former demo, so the price seems a bit low to me. (In Europe, a new Eclipse costs around €2,799-2,999.) The M1, on the other hand, is rarely used, also from 2025, but from the photo it appears to have a finish and sanding issue with the pickup housing (see last photo). The seller is asking €1,550. Which of the two do you think is a good deal? Thank you so much I’m advance!

Hi there!

I’m going to purchase my first ESP guitar after owning several LTD’s (mostly Ec1000s).

I’m still very much indecisive between this thr models.

What would you recommend keeping in mind i mostly play hard rock and a large spectrum of metal genres?

Thanks in advance for helping me with this!
