Thats an ESP Eclipse Limited. They only made 100 like it. I believe that one belonged to LurchHammer. He added that black diamondplate pickguard. I used to have one as well and miss it. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] Rob Barrett also owned it as well for awhile.

Was Lurch's an ESP or a Gibson? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] Also, I thought his had two volumes and two tones, and it came with the TOM bridge, but he also had the Les Paul Floyd conversion bridge that could pivot on the Les Paul studs. That one in the pic appears to be a regular recessed Floyd.

Interesting. I wonder if that's the LP Floyd I sold a while back? Anyhoo, what's with those 4 holes in the Beast? Airflow? [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I think those holes are from termites... or Dross roaches! [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Actually, I never looked at the rest of his guitars until now, but he does (or did have) the ESP pictured above, too.

Cool! Good to see her again. A guy named Stein owns it now over in England. I did a lot of mods to that thing (like always, hehe) Here's a pic of Rob Barrett playing it on the Malevolent/Cannibal tour:
And I think there's still a couple pics on my website too: http://mypeoplepc.com/members/paulchurch/skullhammer/
Notice that the pics were before I added the extra volume knob (at Rob's request- he turns off the volume to the neck pickup and then uses the selector switch as a kill switch)

Re: John Sykes would love it - i\'ve never seen one like it before

im a fan of les pauls and jacksons but a gibson with a jackson headstock and inlays and everything just doesnt appeal to me. les pauls are cool because they are classy and traditional looking i suppose and jacksons are more edgey and modern...i know its a bad description but you get my point
