ESP LTD EC-256 Guitar Review and Demo

[@SHEERRAA]

I absolutely love it! I use it as my new main guitar for my channel :) Great Video 🤘🏻🖤💕

[@FretZealot]

Thanks! Yes it's one of our favorites. Totally solid guitar for everything.

There’s nothing wrong with a sales pitch but why is this labeled as a review? If it’s a review, what didn’t you like? What is EC-256 not good at? Is what ways is a more expensive LTD better?

[@TheH8trs]

The more expensive model has ebony fingerboard, locking tuners, and stainless steel frets, upgraded pickups Other than that, it plays the same.

[@phantomlord1981]

Just bought the same exact one today after I tried it , it was crazy low action and comfortable to play

[@Gr8FriknApe]

It sounds muddy. I don't know if it was your amp settings or what. Can you clean it up to bring in some more treble or is that the actual sound?

[@RsSquier51]

Wouldn't call jatoba an exotic wood, it's just an alternative to rosewood because it's easier to acquire.

I bought one on Amazon, I returned it 2 days later because the tone turned muffled. I compared it with another guitar I have and determined that it was the LTD. It was a shame since it was such a beautiful guitar

[@FretZealot]

Weird! You might have gotten a lemon. Also... Amazon is notorious for return scams. You might have gotten a guitar where someone swapped the pickup or other electronics and returned it just to have the Amazon warehouse put it back into inventory. It happens with our Fret Zealot products occasionally and there's nothing we can do to stop them 😕

[@RsSquier51]

It has coil split, not coil tap.

[@MichaelVeroukis]

I checked one out at a local store and I noticed the tone dial had some play in it. The two volume dials seemed really tight, but the tone one could be turned slightly before you can feel it actually turn the internal mechanism. I know that has the push/pull switch built in, but I don't see why that should add play to the regular dial action. Is that normal for this guitar or should I see if the shop can fix/replace that? It's the only one they got and the guy I spoke to said that's normal, but I'm skeptical.

Gets the budget lp style shredder; doesn’t djent

[@bumcrackwatchco.]

Does it not ? .... Even through a cranked amp ?

[@thetej1098]

Do the pickups require a battery or not?

[@JoseJr1977]

They are passive, no battery. And the tone knob had push pull.

[@thetej1098]

@@JoseJr1977 awesome, thanks!

[@mrsnail7964]

Hi , I got mine week ago and I find the tone very muddy and grumbly not as your guitar sound , did you changed the pick ups?

[@FretZealot]
