The quality and materials used for the guitar are great, and it looks amazing. There are additional options when it comes to colors. When it comes to the sound, it mostly depends on the equipment you’re using. On a cheap amp, the guitar won’t sound as good as you might expect, but that’s the case for any instrument in the world.

ESP produces a series of guitars, including LTD, Signature Series, ESP USA, ESP E-II, ESP Original Series, and Thinline Series guitars. Those in the LTD series have a similar look and style to some of the guitars in the ESP USA and especially ESP Original Series. extra-jumbo frets allow great string bending, and overall I can comfortably say that the ESP LTD EC-256 achieves a Stratocaster status for playability thanks to its lightweight and speed. Yes. Every guitar allows at least some level of upgrades. In theory, you can replace every single part of the guitar, but that’s not something you’ll see often since you might need a master crafter to make it look good in the end.Over the years, more and more musicians became interested in ESP’s custom models, and their models got recognition across the world.

Some of the fret ends of the EC-256 aren’t as smooth as they could be, after all, and you can see some blemishes in the finish, especially between the joins. Still, considering what you paid for this guitar, those issues are small potatoes. The Verdict
