Redesigned in 2017, the LTD EC-256 Black carries the aesthetic DNA and "premium" spirit of the higher-tier Eclipse models. Its classic LP-style silhouette fits all genres, while the multiple bindings on the body and headstock enhance the sense of refined finish, ready for both stage and studio.
The EC-256 is aimed at motivated beginners up to intermediate players who want a serious, stable, and expressive electric guitar without complications. Its dual humbucker temperament makes it particularly comfortable in rock, hard rock, metal, and punk, while still capable of rounder, cleaner tones when lowering the volume or adjusting the tone control.
The combination of a mahogany body and set mahogany neck provides a thick sonic foundation, with present mids, solid attack, and naturally generous sustain, typical of LP-style guitars. The two ESP Designed LH-150 humbuckers deliver a powerful and balanced tone, designed to hold saturation well without losing body. Thanks to the 3-position selector switch and separate controls (2 volumes, 1 tone), you can quickly switch from a rounder neck pickup to a sharper bridge pickup, while the Push/Pull Voicing expands the palette to vary textures depending on the song.
