The ESP E.X.P. (EXPLORER) was made between 1995 and 2000. The ESP E.X.P. was a close copy of the Gibson Explorer, except with 2 EMG-81 humbuckers, and came in black or white finish only. It had a mahogany body, bolt-on quartersawn maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, 22 extra jumbo frets and black hardware. Possibly for legal reasons the ESP EXP was soon discontinued and replaced by the ESP EX series. The ESP EX had a sufficiently different design with more pointed edges and headstock shape, to avoid any legal problems.

The first incarnation of the ESP ECLIPSE CUSTOM was made between 1986 and 1987 and had a telecaster style body - unlike the later Les Paul style Eclipse Customs. It was available with tremolo or tune-o-matic bridge and tailpiece (ESP Eclipse Custom-N.T.). The fingerboard inlays were slightly different on the N.T. models.

Pickups were 2 exposed alnico magnet humbuckers: LH-500 at the bridge and LH-200 at the neck

The Eclipse Deluxe was made between 1986 and 1988 - it was like the Eclipse custom except with a standard vibrato (although in the final year of production in 1988 these had double locking tremolos). These were the early Telecaster shaped ESP Eclipses.

The ECLIPSE CUSTOM (USA CUSTOM SERIES) was made between 1998 and 2000

ESP manufactured the Flamed Baritone between 2003 and 2004

ESP made the first Eclipse Semi-Acoustic (Nylon String) in 1999

ESP manufactured the Eclipse Arch Top between 1996 and 2000

The Music Man Steve Morse Y2D guitar was introduced in 2005 to mark the 20 year anniversary of the Music Man Steve Morse signature guitar (first created in 1985). The Steve Morse Y2D features a poplar body with maple top in flame or quilt, cream binding and an opaque black finish on the back and sides of the body.

The Y2D has three Di-Marzio pickups in H-S-H configuration (one single coil fewer than the original Steve Morse model) with a new custom wound single coil pickup in the middle position. A 2-way toggle and 3-way lever switch controls various pickup selection options.
