I don't know if I'd get an Eclipse or not... They seem like pretty nice guitars and of course they're way cheaper than any Gibson single cut and better made than the Epi's.... If I were to get a single cut that wasn't a Gibson I'd get a PRS.... since I don't have that much money I'd then be looking at an ESP single cut... Probably the Truckster... James Hettfields signature model... That guitar looks pretty killer.
