ESP LTD EC-256 Electric Guitar Vintage Gold Satin B-Stock

The EC-256 delivers a comfortable, responsive playing experience defined by its thin U-shaped mahogany neck and 24.75" scale, making it accessible across genres without sacrificing stability or sustain. The set-neck construction pairs the body and neck for enhanced resonance and a natural upper-fret connection that rewards extended playing sessions. Its vintage gold satin finish and gold hardware strike a refined balance between classic aesthetics and modern functionality.

Playability & Build

The three-piece mahogany neck with thin U contour promotes comfort during extended play, while the roasted jatoba fingerboard with 22 XJ frets and 350mm radius enables smooth position shifts and articulate bending across the entire range. A 42mm molded nut and LTD locking tuners ensure stable tuning and precise intonation, critical for both studio and stage work.

Tone & Electronics

The paired ESP LH-150N neck and LH-150B bridge humbucking pickups deliver punchy, articulate tones that transition seamlessly from clean passages to aggressive overdriven riffs. A push/pull coil-split on the tone knob adds single-coil brightness to the pickup arsenal, while the Volume/Volume/Tone/Toggle Switch passive configuration provides straightforward, noise-free operation; the TOM bridge and tailpiece anchors sustain and tuning stability.
