ESP LTD EC-256 Electric Guitar Black Satin B-Stock

The EC-256 delivers a comfortable, balanced feel in hand thanks to its set-neck construction and thin U-contoured neck profile. This solid mahogany instrument sits naturally across the body, with a 24.75" scale that keeps string tension manageable while maintaining classic tonal characteristics. The satin black finish presents a professional appearance without the reflective glare of a glossy coat.

Playability & Feel

A 3-piece mahogany neck with a thin U contour supports smooth upper-fret access, while the 350mm fingerboard radius and 22 XJ frets provide consistent action and intonation across the rosewood fingerboard. The 42mm molded nut ensures proper string spacing for both lead work and rhythm playing.

Tone & Electronics

ESP Designed LH-150B and LH-150N pickups deliver passive tonal character with responsive dynamics across a dual-volume, single-tone configuration. The Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece combination offers stable intonation and sustain, while the push-pull tone control adds tonal versatility without complexity.
