ESP LTD EC 256 - Demo

[@xceasetoexistx218]

came for the guitar, stayed for the playing!

[@kevinmarley2587]

Bought mine two months ago and can’t believe for one second how absolutely great the guitar is . It can’t be beat , I’ve spent thousands on guitars that don’t even come close to my LTD

[@JesusIsLord7773]

thanks for the experience! Im browsing about ESP guitars

[@supercraig2009]

Just got this same 3 weeks ago. I'm a Newbie but this guitar is Amazing quality and sounding...videos I've heard...me, maybe I will get there

[@JesusIsLord7773]

@@supercraig2009 I seriously believe its that Japanese quality workmanship thats in their products.

[@supercraig2009]

@@JesusIsLord7773 I believe so. I have been on and off buying and selling guitars, not for a profit, but trying to learn and play but either didn't make time or frustration. With that being said, this ESP is quality built with attention to detail. I'm basing this against Epiphone Les Paul, Ibanez ; however, PRS was nice, but floating tremolo too advanced for my learning skills at the time. I don't plan on getting rid of this ESP

[@killerspyder1]

Bought mine in, about, 2012 and it has been my favorite go to guitar.

[@morskipas21]

Thats a real review. I can read specs online. 🤘🏻

[@leftygeezer]

Proper demo! All tempos, textures and tones are tasted. Well done.

[@MrGeeFoto]

Great no talk review again, with original music. Love those quick tempo changes up and down the fretboard starting at 1:23 .

[@mtrich8113]

As I watch this I will be getting the same guitar tomorrow, and boy I can't wait.

My (Made in Indonesia -2020) LTD EC-256 looks, feels and sounds incredible especially considering its price point. Mind you, I did upgrade the bridge humbucker to Seymour Duncan Invader. The neck PU remains original as I actually like the way it sounds. It inspires me to play more than any other guitar I have owned.

[@cordero6960]

INCREDIBLE SOLO!!

[@fliesandpigs]

I have mine for a year now and i've been very happy with it it's a killer guitar for the price, super confortable to play, lightweight, very smooth neck, and it sonds amazing (you can see my videos on my channel playing it) i swapped the bridge pickup for a seymour duncan jb because i like the more bright sond of those but the stock pickups are great too. Only downsides: the tuners are not the best they tend to lose tuning a bit more often then other guitars i used so i'm probably gonna swap them for locking tuners, the acces on higher frets it's a bit unconfrtable due to the neck-body joint, the nut it's a bit pointy towards the neck so sometimes it scratches my finger when i'm playing lower notes but nothing that a bit of sanding can't solve. Overall i'm very satisfied with it, for the price it's better then some guitars i tried for twice the price!

[@PedroYippeekayaye]

The EC-256 is a rocking guitar. I really like the ESP pickups and it's durability.

[@rockngpa5094]

Word on the street is that Schecter owns LTD guitars now so I keep an eye on these LTD guitars in the future because I bought 5yrs ago a Schecter C6 , Floyd Rose , Special , Sustainiac, Diamond Platinum , EMGs pickups, Bat inlays on neck , etc etc , and I will always love this Ax with its beautiful feedback noise as a grand finale to my songs ... ( no violin bows were used like jimmy page 😂) Schecter is doing it right at less costs , they got my attention!

[@lihclore]

@@rockngpa5094 Schecter is amazing

Nice guitar, nice playing, and most of all nice classical proper position.

[@JhonnyGil101]

I completely forgot why I came. I was distracted, in an extremely good way, by the playing. I don't need the guitar, just curious, but I might get now just to play with it. Thank you and GREAT video man

[@torreyintahoe]

Sound great

[@ArtyomReborn]

Thanks! 😁

[@jasonabraham7673]

Id say its better than a Epiphone Les Paul cz its a modern guitar u can play anything with it

[@Revelation18-ms4bj]

I am considering between the ESP or the Epiphone Les Paul, can you tell me your opinion why you prefer the ESP?

[@adamantiuscloudcat1799]

​@@Revelation18-ms4bjthe design is better, less heavy, more easy to play. Some people say this is way better in sound too.

[@rockngpa5094]

I also purchased the purple with black ... and tones are incredible , great videoing!

[@ragingskeptic9753]

The EC-257 is a metal chug monster too, particularly for those who like to tune down for standard.

[@catti_cazzaza]

Great content. Real reviews should be like this. Subbed

[@ArtyomReborn]

Thanks!

[@yzwoody]

Just bought one. So underrated

[@bristol1312]

Walked out with a js32 janky.. two days later brought it back and either was gonna get the extreme omen 6 or this ec-256. The ec256 was by far the best choice. Of course it sounded great in the store due to their better equipment but when i brought the the esp home it sounded great on my cheaper set up. If your looking for a 4-500$ guitar this one is the one. I bought the cherry burst. I’m glad I brought that cheap feeling js32 janky back and got this instead for a little more money. Totally worth it. So far plays great and stays in tune just fine. Might replace the nut at some point. For me the factory pickups actually sound great. Shit chugs and nothing gets lost in the mix. Glad I bought it .

[@bungwung4797]

solid !!!

[@BLCK718]

after watching all ec256 videos on youtube for reviews. THIS CONVINCED ME THE MOST! Getting it at end of month.

[@Bluesruse]

I have EGM 81s, Het set, and these. They are kind of EMGish. They are what the Het set would be like if those were actually passive. Ofc ppl will prefer their Semoour Duncans and whatnot if they're used to those, but as far as passives go, I really enjoy them, and they are definitely the best "cheap stock" pickups I have ever played.

[@ronaldvalles5651]

[@jooyoonchung3593]

I ended up getting an EC1000 a couple weeks ago and I loooooovvvvveeeeee it! It’s an EC256 with the 24 frets that I want plus EMG pickups, in addition to a few other upgrades. It sounds so awesome and plays beautifully.

[@mohammad-king5529]

Is it good for death metal and Doom metal

[@Cthulhu_Awaken]

The neck pickup resembles a Seymour Duncan 59. I'm wondering is that the reason for that kind of shrilly sound at the mids or is it because of the guitar's own tonewood?

[@kbradford2270]

First thing I had to do was change out the nut. And then the toggle switch broke. Had a replace with the Gibson French, too high for my comfort. So had to sand them down a little bit. Next, will Be replacing the stock hamburgers and putting in some major Seymour Duncan. Pick upick up.S just not enough grip in the pickups and very well may eliminate the split coil
