ESP Ltd EC-256-BLKS Electric Guitar, Black Satin

As with many of their production line models, Ltd often provide us with great guitars of a quality that completely belies their asking price. The EC-256 is perfect evidence of this, offering you the kind of features normally associated with high-end guitars but at a price that's significantly less than £500.

Excellent for all musical styles and genres

The ESP Ltd EC-256 features a thinly constructed classic guitar shape, instantly familiar to anyone who's ever seen a guitar in their life. The body is constructed of Mahogany, a lightweight yet solid wood that's used in the construction of many of the most popular guitars out there. There's a binding on the body, neck and headstock, and the Thin U contoured, set-neck construction makes for fast and easy access to even the highest frets.

The Pickups

The ESP Designed LH-150 humbucker pickups give you all the growl that you'd expect coming from a guitar of this shape, but if you pull the Tone control knob it activates the split coil circut, giving you two Single Coil pickups to play with and offering you a whole host of new tones with which to experiment. Whilst these pickups sound simply sublime with high-gain distortion, they also produce incredibly clear, bright clean tones too whether in Humbucker or Single Coil mode, making the guitar as versatile as you could want it to be.

To put it simply, this awesome left-handed guitar looks great, plays great, sounds great, and won't break the bank.
