ESP LTD EC-256 Guitar in Black Finish
Description
ESP LTD EC-256 Guitar in Black Finish
The EC-256 delivers a comfortable, balanced playing experience thanks to its set-neck construction and thin U contour, making it equally at home during extended practice sessions or live performance. The mahogany body and neck combination produces a warm, resonant character that responds well to both clean and overdriven tones. This is a straightforward, no-nonsense instrument built to handle rock and metal playing with genuine versatility.
Playability & Feel
The thin U neck contour and 24.75" scale create a familiar, fast playing surface that suits players accustomed to classic solidbody ergonomics. A 42mm nut width and roasted jatoba fingerboard with 22 XJ frets provide precise intonation and smooth articulation across the full range, while the 350mm fingerboard radius balances comfort for barre chords with responsiveness for lead work.
Tone & Electronics
The ESP Designed LH-150 pickups—neck and bridge configurations—deliver clear, articulate output through a passive electronics layout with independent volume controls for each pickup, a master tone control with push-pull function, and a 3-way toggle switch. This setup gives you real tonal flexibility without unnecessary complexity, from warm rhythm tones to punchy leads.
