    Why we say this

    ESP

    E-II Eclipse Full Thickness EverTune 2022

    Requires modification
    Soldering

    This guitar ships with active pickups, so fitting a passive set like this one means a full rewire, not just a pickup swap.

    Why we say this

    This guitar's stock Fishman Fluence Classic pickups are active and run on a 9V battery with dedicated active wiring and push-push voicing switches. Swapping to a passive set like this one means removing that active wiring and battery setup and rewiring for passive pots and a standard output jack.
