The ESP Guitar Company

Hi Abraham, Great to hear this. Yes the EC-256 is an excellent choice for a beginner model. It should feel more like a professional guitar or intermediate level guitar compared to most beginner models, but if you can afford it then it is a very good choice.

Hi Florent, Yes you can do this. You have to replace the pots and jack along with the pickups. And there is enough space in the cavity to include a battery. Just need to wrap the battery in some thin foam to keep it from touching the contacts. It would be a great upgrade if you can do it.

Hi Mikel, there are some basic tips in our Owner's Manual. You can download it here: https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_files/esp/site_assets/000/000/436/original.pdf  . You can use basic lemon oil for the fingerboard wood, that is the only exposed wood on the guitar. If you have a satin finish you should not polish it much, because it becomes more shiny naturally when used or polished. Just use a damp soft cloth such as a microfiber polishing cloth but do not polish aggressively, just use it to remove any residue or clean the surface lightly. You can use a little water or some polish such as Dunlop 65.

Hi Stelios, Yes this model is now available in LH, and will be added to our website soon.
