The ESP Guitar Company

Hey, I have this (love it) and was wondering about the best methods of cleaning/conditioning the fretboard

Just ordered it via Amazon @299 bucks(!!!!). While I await delivery. I was curious what other felt they wanted to improve upon with the basic instrument. As this is my first ESP and LP-style model, I thought the price, the brand and the reviews I saw were the selling points.

This is my first ESP guitar but I've heard nothing bad about the brand, quite the opposite. I've tried different LP styles from different brands in stores and owned by friends and I had concerns about their quality control (Epiphone and Gibson), the pride of workmanship and cheap parts. That doesn't seem to be the case here. 

That said, I'll check out the forums elsewhere and see how others use these guitars. 

I am very satisfied with this model, mine still has rosewood fingerboard, is a china made, I wonder if there is much difference with the top Korea series, letting apart components like the PUs, electronics or hardware.

I am utterly stunned by the quality of this instrument given its price point. Whether it's Esp or the shop I bought it from ( Andertons UK ) this has been the first guitar that I can remember in a long time, and I'm including guitars two or three times more expensive than this that have come perfectly in tune and with no preferable set up required straight out of the box, literally. I had to do nothing whatsoever to this guitar except plug it in. I bow to you Esp. This is a serious competition killer, it's also my first one having tried everyone else's, and between you and me I sent back a PRS for this, because I was hoping it would be better...and it was...completely. Esp rules, and I play this with pride. I can only imagine how the E-II guitars play . 

Hi guys,

Just wanted confirmation of wood used for the top of the EC-256 BLACK as it is not specified in the description above (vs others) ? Do you confirm it has same specifications or any difference to expect (excepted visual) ?

Tks for your support,

Samuel

Hey guys! I’m from Singapore. And I understand that the authorised dealer for Singapore is Davis guitars. And I wanted to get this guitar (ec-256 black) but they did not have it in stock. So I asked them when will it be in stock or can I request one in. But they said they can’t bring in just one guitar. As they have to order in a bunch? Why is that so? 

Hi Team ESP,

Greetings.

I am Kishore Acharya and I am from India. I want to buy ESP LTD EC-256 guitar and that guitar that I am getting in India - Mumbai is a China made guitar designed by ESP which is written at the back of the head stock of the guitar. So I wanted to know if this the authentic guitar as it is not a Vietnam made. Has the production of this particular model shifted to China? I want to be sure that I am buying an authentic product and not the Chinese fake copy. 

Also I want to understand that the FM top adds a tone difference or the FM top models of EC 256 and the plain Mohagany body guitar of EC 256 will sound the same.

Request you to please help me with your valuable guidance so that I can make the purchase quickly.

Thanking you.

Best Regards,

Kishore Acharya 

i just bought this guitar around 2 weeks ago and couldn't be any happier with it, plays great, sounds amazing, is not heavy as a traditional les paul made of mahogany would, looks extremely awesome, the weight balance is actually great, the action by factory was set really amazing too, since i was a kid i used to watch guitar playes who had les paul custom guitars and having this makes me feel i reached to that point but is even better guitar i highly recommend it

Hello, I am interested in buying this guitar, but I can't figure out if the binding is white or yellow on the pictures. Can somebody confirm me what the actual colour is?

I'm curious. I have this guitar but the flamed maple one and would like to know what magnets are in these LH-150 pickups?

does this guitar have coil tapping?

Thanks I got it and also Fm Ian nothing but flamed maple top ...everything else is the same 

What is the difference between 256 and 256FM?

I’m wanting to buy this from 3 months now
