    When will these be hitting stores? I've seen them on eBay but not in person yet.

          Where are these made? Nice to see a Mahogany guitar at what I'm guessing will be a decent price.

            Visited the guitar shop tonight - the shop just received some EC 256s in stock, mostly Vintage Black I believe. This guitar looks killer in person and I was shocked to see a price tag of only $350!. I will be back soon to try out and see if I can get another few bucks off. I am looking forward to a review from whoever is the first to be a proud owner. -thomas

              Holy crap, really? Damn, that's a really good deal then...I might just have to pick one of these up, that is seriously an awesome price for it. I've seen 'em pop up on the 'bay for maybe $399-$499

                A shop around here called Spencer's has an ESP license. I emailed them yesterday about having the EC-256 in stock and they say they can have them in as little as 2 weeks. I'm definitely ordering one!

                      Are these arch-tops, or do my eyes deceive me?

                          I just saw one of these in my local guitar shop and I was blown away by how great it looked. I played it and it was so awesome. If you had put ESP on the headstock instead of LTD I honestly wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. I plugged in to a Marshall Vintage Modern halfstack and it sounded so killer. I thought it was a deluxe series LTD, but to my surprise it was only an EC-256. I'm going tomorrow to buy mine in Vintage Honeyburst. It doesn't even feel cheap! I can't stress that enough. The quality of all LTD instruments is top notch. I'll post pics. Promise.

                            I have been interested in one of these as well. I have an Eclipse II Standard in the VHB. I also have an LTD EC400-AT in black. Thinking about the VHB model to have one to play with and not care too much if I drop it or scratch it etc....... The made in Vietnam is really not an issue for me. I have a GL-256 that was made there and I am perfectly happy with it. I think you can get a good or a bad one no matter where its made. Chances of a bad one may be greater on average....but that doesn't mean you can't find a diamond in the rough.

                              I'm gonna assume the 256 isn't full thickness, but what about that gawd-awful belly cut? I really like how the aged black isn't too aged, and hell is I absolutely hate that I can paint it.

                              The belly cut is the deal breaker right now, cause i hate the way it feels.
