Roasted Jatoba Fingerboard Offers Smooth Playability

The EC-256 features a roasted jatoba fingerboard that enhances stability and feel. Jatoba has a tight, focused tone, while the roasting process improves tuning stability and increases playability. The thin U-shaped neck has a satin finish for fast movement up and down the neck. Position markers guide your playing, while the flag inlays provide an extra touch of style. The generous 22 jumbo frets make it easy to execute bends, vibratos and rapid runs with precision.

Acclaimed ESP LH-150 Pickups Pump Out Killer Tone

This guitar comes equipped with ESP's acclaimed LH-150 humbucker pickups for growling rock tone and singing leads. The neck pickup balances warmth and clarity, while the bridge pickup provides plenty of punch and articulation. Toggle between thick humbucking tones and bright single-coil sounds with the push-pull coil tap. The matte black pickup covers give the EC-256 a sleek modern look. Dial in your tone with the master volume and tone controls.
