The ESP LTD EC-256 electric guitar has the look and sound of a professional instrument, without being prohibitively high end. The maple top, over an all-mahogany body and the set-neck construction, make this guitar a success, both visually appealing and easy to listen to. Two ESP humbucking pickups with three-way toggle switches, independent volume controls for each pickups, and a single master tone control with push-pull coil tap, all give you plenty of tools for making great music. A rosewood fingerboard with 22 XJ frets across a 24.75-inch scale length provides both speed and comfort for playing. ESP die-cast tuners and a tune-o-matic bridge make this a very reliable instrument.
