ESP LTD EC-256 Guitar Candy Apple Red Satin

ESP LTD EC-256 Guitar Candy Apple Red Satin

The EC-256 cuts through on stage with a thin U-shaped neck contour and set-neck construction that lets you reach upper frets without wrestling the body—essential for extended solos and live work. The 24.75" scale and 350mm fingerboard radius give you the sweet spot between grip-friendly chord voicings and precision single-note runs, while the mahogany body and neck radiate the warm, resonant tone that holds up in any mix, from blues to heavy music.

Playability & Feel

The thin U neck contour paired with a 3-piece mahogany neck and set-neck construction make this guitar feel locked in your hands during long sets—no fatigue, consistent response. The 22 XJ (Extra-Jumbo) frets let you bend with confidence and articulate notes with snap, while the 42mm molded nut seats your fingers consistently whether you're playing tight rhythm or wide intervals.

Tone & Electronics

The mahogany body and roasted jatoba fingerboard deliver a full-bodied, balanced voice with the sustain you need to hold notes under stage lights. Dual ESP LH-150 pickups—warm and lush in the neck position for smooth leads, aggressive and cutting in the bridge for driven rhythm—give you real tonal range without switching guitars. The volume/volume/tone (push/pull coil-split)/toggle switch electronics and TOM & tailpiece bridge let you shape your sound on the fly and stay in tune through a full night of playing.
