I received mine months ago but it wasn't orangey at all.  My first ltd guitar.

But yeah, I've read in other forums saying that they got orangey to chocolate colored Jatobas.

that doesn't look like Jatoba at all. if it is, that's perfectly colored. I don't think I've ever seen it that dark?

it's an ec-256fm dark brown burst.  https://www.espguitars.com/products/19832-ec-256fm

specs say it's a "Roasted" Jatoba.  maybe that's why it's darker?

Whatever it is, its the way it should look. My Cobalt and Purple are light brownie/orange

In 2017 LTD's transitioned to the use of Roasted Jatoba (200 range), Pau Ferro (400 range) and Macassar Ebony (600 / 1000 range) (plus some other types) for the use of fretboards, this was done to follow Cites to limit the use of Rosewood types for fretboards. ESP notification regarding Cites.

At the same time the model number inlay in the fretboard was removed, model numbers are now marked on the truss rod cover and no longer in the fretboard.

This means the guitar posted by jv m is from before the change to Roasted Jatoba, as it still has the model number inlay in the fretboard, the fretboard will be a type of Rosewood and thus darker.

My EC-256 has a Jatoba board and was indeed quite orange, this made for a rather pale guitar as it is a lemon drop finish. I have only used fretboard oil to darken it. Sunlight can also help and playing it does affect it as well. It will not get as dark as Rosewood or Ebony, I guess only a dye can get you that far.

Oh so that's why mine was darker, it's actually rosewood.  And I thought because it said "roasted" jatoba, I assumed why it has that color.

@Martijn wouldn't fretboard oil make the jatoba even more oragney?  I used fretboard oil on one of my Japanese les paul once that had a unique swirl wood pattern on the rosewood. After years of playing I cleaned the gunk and applied oil.  It somehow made the orangey part of the rosewood more orange and some of the lighter rosewood color to a chocolate brown.  Looked weird but I liked it.

Staining / dying is a good idea.

Are the EC-256   Lemon Drop, Lemon burst , and Natural finish the same guitar just referred to as either name . Or, are they completely different finished?
