Hey ESP, what is the diameter of the hole for the tuning machines? I'm looking to replace them as one of the standard ones broke. Thanks!

Carl N.

Hey Tyler, should be about 10mm.  You can always check your instrument directly in order to get the most accurate measurement for this.

Tyler S.

Thanks, I don't have it in me to tamper with my axe myself (don't wanna accidentally break anything) but I'll use that for a base while I'm shopping.

Carl N.

Anytime Tyler, if you have a technician working on this for you they should be able to source good replacement tuners for you if you find yourself stuck.

Alright, I actually just heard back from a Sweetwater representative about what tuners would work with my guitar so I should be ordering some soon.

Hi guys. Faiz here from singapore. I would like to purchase this model. And I understand that Davis guitar is the only authorized dealer for esp and ltd guitars? But I dont see this model on display and when I asked them they did not have the stock for this model. So I was wondering if you guys could send one in so I could make the purchase? It's either this model or the gloss black one. I'm really keen on purchasing either one of these models. So if you could send either in that'll be great. Cheers!!

Hey Muhammad, you'll have to work with your local distributor in order to get this model in your area, which would be Davis Guitar.  They should have no issue putting this guitar on order for you.

Ordered LTD EC 256 "cherry burst" from GC.  Interested in the guitars neck and weight.  In MM how thick is the neck at the 12th fret?  What is the weight?

Is the CB neck also matte, satin, or unfinished? Is this the 2019 model with all flag neck?  Sometimes aesthetics matter too.  ;-)

If it were available for the same price, the black satin has a bad boy look I dig.

However, The Cherry is a classic look. Gonna be a great guitar with much of what I want, esp. the XJ frets and flat back neck.

Thanks guys!

Hi Rick, thanks for your inquiry. We hope that you enjoy your new instrument!

Please understand that weights and neck measurements will vary in production so we cannot give you a specific weight or measurement, however it should be within proximity.

Weight: between 8-9 lbs

Neck thickness @ 12F: 22-23mm

The neck finish matches the finish on the top of body.  Inlays are all flags with model name on truss rod cover.

hope this info helps.

Can you take a look at the Guitar Center and Musician's friend websites?

Are they just wrong/misleading? Or is it possible that these models were upgraded somehow? I even wrote to Guitar Center and they told he they are locking tuners.

For some reason I can't post the links here.

Hi Ari A. You can send me the links in a private message if you like. But we do not not make the EC-256 with locking tuners. I will pass this info to our people who handle their accounts in case they can help them fix their spec.

Ari  A.

Can anyone confirm that this guitar comes with locking tuners? Both Guitar Center and Musician's Friend are listing them as "ESP Locking". That right?

 

Todd B. ESP

Hi Ari, This model does not come with locking tuners. We include locking tuners on our 1000 series and 600 Signature series. Everything else includes standard tuners.
