ESP LTD EC-258 Electric Guitar Black Satin B-Stock

ESP LTD EC-258 Electric Guitar Black Satin B-Stock

The EC-258 is built for eight-string players who demand a responsive, stable platform that stands up to heavy touring and studio work. Its set-neck mahogany construction, thin U neck contour, and 26.5" baritone scale deliver the string tension and intonation consistency you need across all eight strings without compromise. This B-stock unit offers full professional capability at a significant savings.

Playability & Construction

Built on proven design, the EC-258 combines a solid mahogany body with a 3-piece mahogany neck and roasted jatoba fingerboard featuring 22 extra-jumbo frets. The thin U neck contour and 54mm molded nut are engineered for eight-string comfort without fatigue, while the 400mm fingerboard radius keeps response sharp across the wider fingerboard width—critical for both fast leads and heavy riffing.

Tone & Reliability

Onstage and in the studio, the guitar delivers consistent tone through ESP Designed LH-308N and LH-308B pickups paired with a straightforward passive electronics layout of dual volume controls, single tone control, and a toggle switch—no unnecessary circuits to fail on the road. The LTD fixed hardtail bridge with black hardware locks in tuning through full sets and direct string-to-body transfer ensures the sustain and clarity you need live. Ships strung with D'Addario XL140-8 gauge strings optimized for baritone tuning.
