Ltd Ec-256 Candy Apple Red Satin

An EC in the ESP spirit, designed for everyday use

The LTD EC series adopts the "single cut" ergonomics while adding a decidedly practical approach: effective finishes, proven wood selection, and versatile electronics. The EC-256 positions itself as an accessible and serious model in the range, designed to handle rehearsals, home studio sessions, and concerts effortlessly, while maintaining the typical aesthetics and feel of this shape.

For which guitarist and styles?

This LTD EC-256 is aimed at motivated beginners as well as intermediate guitarists seeking a versatile electric guitar that is easy to set up and comfortable to play. Its pickup duo and coil split cover a wide range: rock, hard rock, metal, but also pop and blues when looking for airier sounds in split mode. The 24.75" / 628 mm scale length facilitates bends and rhythmic playing, especially pleasant with standard string gauges.

The sound

With its mahogany body and glued mahogany neck, the EC-256 emphasizes a warm register, present mids, and generous sustain: an ideal base for dense saturated tones as well as leads. The LH-150 pickups provide a solid and balanced response, with ample lows and an attack that remains clear under gain. The passive electronics and 2 volumes + tone configuration make blending easy, while the coil split opens access to clearer, more "twangy" textures, perfect for sharp rhythms, arpeggios, and dynamic clean passages.

Recommended compatible accessories

To accompany this 6-string electric, you can opt for a set of electric guitar strings (common gauges 09-42 or 10-46), a standard strap, plectrums according to your attack, as well as a good quality instrument jack cable to minimize signal loss.
