ESP LTD EC-256 Electric Guitar, Black Satin

Product Information

I decided to keep it and pay for a repair on the finish and knob, and at least appreciate the rest of its beauty. I still dont know what is inside that goes around and i hope will not regret it but i am taking my chances. Without a doubt, someone opened the guitar and messed it up one way or the other. I hate to sound like a broken record, but a guitar of such condition would have never made it out of the factory or even Thomann had it been opened. Changing the bridge won’t make a world of difference unless there is something wrong with the existing bridge. The only option you’ll have is to replace it with the same-looking one, but with higher quality. Next i noticed something going around in the guitar. It was obviously a piece of something, at best wood, at worst… and then i tried the knobs and more bad new on the way. And that’s it. While there is an option to replace other parts, it won’t change the guitar in any meaningful way. Yes, you can replace the nut, frets, and switch, but you should do that only in case there is something wrong with the ones that are already in the guitar. Alternatives To The Instrument In Terms Of Look, Feel, Sound, Specs, And Price

Yes. Every guitar allows at least some level of upgrades. In theory, you can replace every single part of the guitar, but that’s not something you’ll see often since you might need a master crafter to make it look good in the end. Yet you needn’t worry with the ESP LTD EC-256. Like the other ESP LTD guitars before it, the EC-256 is assembled with care. The construction of the instrument and the guitar materials were meticulously selected for one durable guitar. Their ESP LTD EC-256 is not a high-end guitar, but rest assured because it has excellent quality, great classic looks and great sound at an affordable price.We all know that looks are important. But what makes all the difference in the world is how the instrument feels when you play it. This is one of the primary differences between the medium-range and low-end guitars. The quality and materials used for the guitar are great, and it looks amazing. There are additional options when it comes to colors. If you remember my review on the EC-1000, I mentioned that because the instrument is a Les Paul style, reaching the higher frets isn’t super easy to do. That can still be the case with the EC-256 unless your fingers are smaller. ESP LTD Guitars vs. ESP Guitars You won’t be able to install Floyd Rose or any other tremolo without having to do some woodworking. I wouldn’t suggest you drill holes and try to fit something that shouldn’t be there in the first place. Without someone with years of experience (like a master crafter), the end result will most likely look like a disaster. A similar thing can apply to jazz, blues, soul, funk, and other similar genres (similar in terms of guitar sound). While the guitar itself won’t sound bad if you play it clean, it can never compare to a Strat or Tele which were designed for this type of music.

ESP is a guitar manufacturer from Japan, and recently, the company gained a lot of popularity thanks to alternative guitar players. Compared to some of the giants in the industry, ESP is rather young. The company was founded in 1975 in Tokyo, but it wasn’t popular until the eighties. extra-jumbo frets allow great string bending, and overall I can comfortably say that the ESP LTD EC-256 achieves a Stratocaster status for playability thanks to its lightweight and speed.First let me say i am from the UK therefore between Thomann and me the UK customs opened the box. And it is them i blame for the state of the guitar i received. It is important to review this experience and the impact it had on the item, as this puts Thomann on the clear but surely paint a hard reality for UK customs and the mess we have found ourselves with Brexit, although Thomann has done a great job to save us. Over the years, more and more musicians became interested in ESP’s custom models, and their models got recognition across the world. Today, many players use ESP models like James Hetfield from Metallica, Jeff Hanneman, Dave Mustaine, Alexi Laiho, Roppe Latvala, and many others. The price is great, so if you’re on a budget, the EC-256 is a guitar I’d wholeheartedly recommend. Unlike most budget instruments, you get a high-quality guitar that has a lot of the same features as LTD guitars that cost thousands of dollars more. When it comes to the sound, it mostly depends on the equipment you’re using. On a cheap amp, the guitar won’t sound as good as you might expect, but that’s the case for any instrument in the world.
