I bought this guitar back in 2017 in college for $400 and it was amazing out of the box. I added a JB SH-4 Pickup in the bridge, new pots, and gotoh tuners and this things plays like a $3k guitar now. It's great. Still making mods and it just keeps getting better.

We are going to vouch for the Ec256 for sure. Not that Cort CR250 is a bad option. But ec256 is way better. And with some pick-up upgrades in the future, you are set all the way!

I have a cherry burst 256 and I love it. I put some Alnico 5 magnet humbuckers in it and it is just a great guitar. Ive also slapped a bone nut on mine. Its drawbacks are the fret ends on mine are a bit sharp and around the 20th fret there is a high fret. Aside from that its such a good guitar.
@nvjohansson97412 ай бұрын
The fret sprouts can be sanded, the high fret can be brought down. This being sad, this is a great guitar with stellar reviews, flaws like that shouldn't happen.

Just playing palm muted power chords is no way to demonstrate the sound of the guitar. Gotta play some lead lines , some slightly palm muted, slightly ringing arpeggiated chords with overdrive , a heavy riff to demonstrate low end tone, a screaming lick with bends to demonstrate tone on higher register and sustain .

Got the crappy purple one , no way does my purple look as bright as yours … my purple (approx 2yrs old) has a lot of black over spray over purple , so unless it’s really bright in the room to show off that purple, my guitar looks black with low lighting .. Besides that mess up paint job my EC256 is a blast to spend time on… That push-pull toggle switch is awesome as well for that tele tone.
