Key Features:

• Classic Design and Construction: The EC-256's single-cutaway shape is timeless, appealing to players across all genres. The reliable set-neck construction enhances the guitar's sustain and resonance, making it a solid choice for both rhythm and lead playing.

• Quality Materials: A mahogany body with a quilted maple top paired with a three-piece thin U-shaped mahogany neck offers both durability and comfort. This combination ensures a warm, rich tone with plenty of sustain, ideal for a wide array of musical settings.

• Fingerboard: The roasted jatoba fingerboard is not only visually appealing but also provides a smooth playing experience. Adorned with ESP flag inlays and 22 extra-jumbo frets, it allows for effortless playability and easy access across all frets.

• Pickups and Versatility: Equipped with a pair of acclaimed ESP LH-150 humbucking pickups, now with matte black covers, the EC-256 delivers punchy and versatile tones suitable for everything from clean, melodic passages to heavy, distorted riffs. The inclusion of a push-pull switch on the tone knob adds the flexibility of achieving single-coil tones, further expanding the guitar's tonal palette.

• Aesthetics and Extras: The EC-256 features binding on the body, neck, and headstock, elements typically found on high-end guitars, enhancing its luxurious appearance. These aesthetic details, combined with the guitar's solid construction and features, make it an attractive option for players looking for style and substance.

• Playability: The thin U-shaped neck and well-crafted fingerboard ensure comfortable playability, making the EC-256 suitable for extended playing sessions and complex playing techniques.
