About this item

ESP LTD EC-256QM Electric Guitar, See Thru Black Cherry Sunburst

If you’re looking for a value-packed guitar that will deliver much more than you expect for its modest price, the obvious answer is the LTD EC-256. A classic single-cutaway shape that's excellent for all musical styles and genres, the EC-256 is available in multiple finishes and offers features that you normally associate with high-end guitars, like binding on the body, neck, and headstock, and reliable set-neck construction. The EC-256 also features a mahogany body, a comfortable three-piece thin U-shaped mahogany neck, and a roasted jatoba fingerboard with ESP flag inlays and 22 extra-jumbo frets. This guitar features a set of our acclaimed ESP LH-150 humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck positions, now offered with new great-looking matte black covers and providing punchy, great tone for all genres of music. You also get the flexibility of single-coil tones controlled by a push-pull switch on the tone knob.
