I love this guitar. Sometimes a neck just feels right, and for me the neck feel is perfect. I bought mine used and it plays/sounds amazing.

Alex M.

I am absolutely in love with the sound and feel of this guitar. However, it has way too many defects out of the box for the 500 euros I paid for it:

- minor imperfections / scratches

- the color of the front is blue but it’s green on the back

- the toggle switch does not switch the bridge humbucker from first attempt and requires multiple annoying toggles

- under the plastic covers on the back you can see the double of the drilled screw holes - the first attempt was clearly a failure and caused little pieces of wood to detach, and they just drilled new hole a couple millimeters next to it

 

I NOT recommend buying this guitar until LTD improves their production and quality control.

How do I have to clean a roasted jatoba fretboard? Can I use water and soup, 0000 steel wool and lemon oil?

amazing sound, great tuning stability and stunning looks
loved it
Thanks ESP.

Hi, I would like to know about the legitimacy of my guitar and also the year it was made. I was told that I will receive Indonesian made guitar but they delivered Chinese guitar.

My serial number- RS18080724 

Dan Schultz

My 2018 was made in Indonesia. I don’t think these have been manufactured in China, but I could be mistaken .

Hola. Tengo una pastillas seymour duncan hot rodded humbuckers que quisiera instalar y no encuentro el diagrama de conexiones en la web de las pastillas ESP LH 150N y 150B de esta guitarra. Me han regalado esta guitarra hace poco tiempo y he de decir que estoy impresionado lo bien que funciona y lo fina pero robusta que es y la resonancia que tiene además de lo bonita que es. Enhorabuena. Un saludo.

Quick Questiion: Why do some EC-256 models have the model number on the 12th fret, but others don't ?

What's the difference between this model and the EC-256FM?

Geno S.

I believe FM indicates Flame Maple top.

Javier C.

I just got this model and I'm absolutely loving it. It plays, feels and sounds like a dream even when compared to more expensive instruments.

 

Amazing work guys.

Carl N.

Glad you're enjoying it, thanks for sharing

Dan Schultz

Agreed! The LH-150 pickups are top notch. This guitar records great as well and the push/pull coil split has been handier than I thought it would be.

Deni S.

Hi ESP, i want to know where are these ltd ec 256 are made. From what i know there are indonesia, china, vietnam and korea. Is it true? Can you inform us about in which period of year that the guitar was made from? I'm interested to buy one but kinda confused there's a lot of "made in" to decide which is the legit one and has the better build quality

Carl N.

These are currently produced in China and Indonesia

Thanks a lot !

Isac S.

Hi, was wondering if a case is included with the guitar?

Cujo

No but several manufacturers make cases in this style. I suggest the molded ABS type. I have one and it protects the guitar amazingly well and shields it from any weather spikes. 

Carl N.

This would not include a case

Tyler H.

Hi guys! I love this guitar and price. In which country is this guitar made? 

Carl N.

These are currently produced in China and Indonesia

Matt B.

Love this EC but I can't seem to find one. 

It seems like it's a 256 distressed but a teardrop tobacco fade.

Any info would be appreciated.
