Yes, if you want a simple, easy-to-understand instrument with a good response to right-hand technique. A T-model does not have unnecessarily complicated controls and quickly shows whether your chords, muted rhythms and simple lead lines are clean. For a complete beginner, neck comfort, reasonable weight and a proper setup are the most important points.

ESP LTD Eclipse '87 Rainbow Crackle Electric guitar

The LTD ’87 Series are faithful recreations of set of instruments from ESP’s 1987 catalog. Unlike the current single-cutaway Eclipse shape, the original ESP Eclipse was based on the TE archtop shape, which is the basis of the LTD Eclipse ’87. This guitar offers neck-thru-body construction with a mahogany body and three-piece maple neck. The ’87 Series Eclipse models offer a set of Seymour Duncan ’59 (neck) and JB (bridge) pickup set (with original style bobbins and a push-pull control to split the coils), and a Floyd Rose-1000 locking tremolo.
