ESP LTD EC-256 Electric Guitar, Black Satin

Product Information

stars to British Customs! But Us Britons are musically “ accustomed” to get zero marks for music when we get to Europe (Eurovision).

This guitar is a huge step compared to some of the entry-level guitars, which is why it costs so much more. But the price will also get you a lot of high-quality materials like mahogany. Every piece of the guitar looks incredible, and the finish is spotless. Needless to say, you won’t get the same quality compared to the LP since Gibson is two or three times more expensive. But there is no doubt that LTD is worth the money if you are into guitars like this. It is a mid-range guitar that looks incredible and sounds even better. So if the Eclipse and the EC-256 share a handful of similarities, why does the former cost so much more? As I discussed in my EC-1000 review, it’s because these guitars are manufactured using the best materials, and in factories where the labor costs are a lot higher than buying a guitar like the EC-256. ESP LTD EC-256 AlternativesThe guitar is targeting more experienced players in the advanced/intermediate category. Needless to say, anyone can buy it if they like it. It is an excellent guitar even for beginners, but they more often opt for something cheaper. Changing the bridge won’t make a world of difference unless there is something wrong with the existing bridge. The only option you’ll have is to replace it with the same-looking one, but with higher quality. The tone knob (pull/push) had a more than reasonable play, and i mean the potentiometer not being screwed in place and the dial doing a dead dial for almost a quarter! I decided to keep it and pay for a repair on the finish and knob, and at least appreciate the rest of its beauty. I still dont know what is inside that goes around and i hope will not regret it but i am taking my chances.

The single-piece mahogany body is also built to last. I’ve called other ESP LTD guitars better than Les Pauls, and I stand by that with the EC-256. This guitar is made for playing, be that tough shredding, light strumming, or anything in between. ESP produces a series of guitars, including LTD, Signature Series, ESP USA, ESP E-II, ESP Original Series, and Thinline Series guitars. Those in the LTD series have a similar look and style to some of the guitars in the ESP USA and especially ESP Original Series.We all know that looks are important. But what makes all the difference in the world is how the instrument feels when you play it. This is one of the primary differences between the medium-range and low-end guitars. Considering how much more expensive the Eclipse is compared to the EC-256, it makes sense that it has the more optimal, quality construction. The chambered mahogany body impresses, and I quite appreciate the fretwork as well. You shouldn’t notice any sharp edges when playing this premium guitar. Today, the company is based both in LA and Tokyo, and there are two distinctive production lines for each of the markets. ESP focuses on designing bass and electric guitars mostly. As with the majority of companies in the seventies, ESP also provided replacement parts for electric guitars before they started making their own models.
