A classic shape that's excellent for all musical styles and genres, the EC-256FM is available in multiple finishes and offers features that you normally associate with high-end guitars, like a flamed maple top, binding on the body, neck, and headstock, and set-neck construction for fast and easy access to the highest frets. The EC-256FM also features a mahogany body, a comfortable three-piece thin U-shaped mahogany neck, and a roasted jatoba fingerboard with inlays and 22 extra-jumbo frets. This guitar features our acclaimed ESP Designed LH-150 humbucking pickups that offer great tone for all genres of music, and the tone flexibility of coil-splitting controlled by a push-pull switch on the tone knob.

Mahogany Body and Neck Provide Warmth and Sustain
The EC-256 owes its rich tone to its mahogany body and 3-piece mahogany neck. Mahogany produces a warm, balanced sound with emphasized mids and lows, and the set neck design enhances sustain for searing leads and rhythms that go on for days.

Dual ESP LH-150 Humbuckers Offer Versatile Tone
The EC-256 is equipped with a pair of ESP LH-150 humbucking pickups that provide a perfect blend of output and articulation. The LH-150s offer a warm, full tone with tight lows, present mids and controlled highs—ideal for rock and metal. A push-pull tone pot allows you to tap into bright single-coil tones when you need extra cut and definition.

Premium Components and Construction
From the Tune-O-Matic bridge to the nickel tuners, the EC-256 features high-quality components typically found on more expensive guitars. 22 extra-jumbo frets allow for expressive, wide-ranging solos. A master volume, master tone and 3-way toggle switch provide simple but versatile control over your tone.

Stunning Looks and Playability
With a contoured double-cutaway mahogany body, the EC-256 achieves an elegant balance between comfort and rock attitude. The arched top gives this ax a stylish, upscale look. A slim U-neck profile and 12" radius rosewood fingerboard provide a fast, low-friction playing feel so you can focus on your performance.
