LTD EC-256 BLK Electric Guitar Black

Received this item ahead of schedule. I unpacked the item at 7 pm gave it a quick tune and was playing away happily by 7.30 pm. Huge range of tones and styles thanks to the coil split, quality and finish are good but there is a slight scuff on the cut away near the binding on my guitar which I am not worried about. The neck and fret board are very nice. The neck profile is pretty thin, almost as thin and similar in style to my Ibanez SA360. By LP standards the body is slim and comparatively light but you will find this guitar a little heavier if you are used to most Strat style guitars. All in all the LTD 256 BLK; looks good, plays well, is well made, has lots of variation and sounds good...what's not to like! Note! My guitar states made in Indonesia on the head stock not Vietnam!

I bought this guitar a few months ago. Honestly its a great guitar very slick and easy to play highly versatile for just about any style of play. I noticed the g string was very out of tune however when i changed the strings for new ones i adjusted most of the hardware, screws especially on the bridge where the strings rest, i found it was all very loose, afew adjustments and it was perfect. G string stays in tune and overall the sound is much more crisp!

This has become my favourite guitar. I’ve tried many and this guitar is beautiful in tone, appearance and playability. It bares no barrier to what you want to play.

That's pretty good !

i havnt got one,, tried on the internet ,, no luck either,, love this guitar

Amazing

Guitar arrived ahead of schedule and it great condition. It was well packaged and protected. Look: Pictures make the finish look slightly more matt than it is. It's very glossy and shinny. Tunners are very nice with a strong and clean gold finish to match the pick ups. Binding is a nice touch and well set around the body and neck. Inlays and fret board are lovely to look at. Playability: If you're used to Gibson or Epiphone Les Pauls, this feels a bit stiff. Action requires setting up. Holds tuning in E standard and drop D but tried tuning to C standard and it's struggled. Perhaps it'll function better with higher guage strings. Body is much thinner than I expected and wraps around my hip. Nothing like the Gibson styled Les Paul. Much lighter too which takes some getting used to. As to be expected, G has difficulty holding tune. Sound Plugged into garage band, with an external compressor added, it doesn't blow me away. I've been playing Gibson for over a year now and I'm used to it's warmer and fuller tone. I'll probably swap out the pickups for EMGs. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to upgrade from a starter guitar - well suited to metal.

Super guitare. C 'est ma première Les Paul et je la trouve magnifique avec son liseré blanc. Le son me convient parfaitement.

This is, without a doubt, one of the best “cheaper” guitars available. If you are looking to find an exceptional “beginner” guitar for someone - this is the one you want. Love this thing!

Playability is excellent. It came intonation tuned, so I didn't have to give it for a setup. Love the handling. Less weight. Played it right out of the box. Only one brawback is that I cannot fix a scratch guard (Les Paul style guard) on it due to the control knobs being placed right below the bridge pickup. So I just have to be careful while strumming, as to avoid putting scratches on the body. Overall it's an excellent instrument. Couldn't ask for more for now.

I am happy with this ESP . . ..I had a PRS which looked awesome but had high action. I wanted to turn a few screws . . .but thought the factory settings were where it was at. Regardless, I needed a new guitar and came around this beauty (black and gold) and realized it was a decent guitar to have. It wasn't a PRS . . .but I was able to lower the action on this guitar in a few minutes. Just a turn of a screw and there it was. The pick ups on this thing (humbuckers) are gold and sound jazzy on the rhythm setting. The high treble switch gave me decent solo room for distortion . . . and sounds great through a good amp. I don't like the fretboard inlays . . .but I'm getting use to them. I like dots on the fretboard to help locate where I am. I play a classical with only one dot on the seventh fret and I get lost, from time to time. This guitar has dots running up and down the fret board. The tuning heads are solid and stay in tune. This is not a problem . . .again . . .this ESP is not a PRS . . .but for the money . . .I made a good purchase and I'm happy with this brand.

You can never go wrong with ESP LTD quality, smooth playability and awesome sound. Priced competitively too.
