I've owned 2 of the EC-256's and still have them. I've also owned a few of the expensive "Name Brand" LP's. I can honestly say these are amazing and love mine way more than the "Name Brand" LP's! The pickups to me sound great I've never even thought of changing them out. The split coil sounds so good for that blues, country, rock, sound, and humbuckers sound amazing for rock to metal sounds.Usually in this price range they skimp out on the tuners but this guitar the tuners are great! Total value!

I got one that was jacked up, brand new. The bridge pot was bad right out the box. The truss rod needed an entire full turn and quarter of relief before it was in the norm. There was a small crack in the neck binding about 3mm long right where the nut meets the fretboard. The neck pickup was set to its lowest point and had to be raised almost 3mm to be within speck, the bridge pickup however was spot on. The fretboard has like black where the frets go, looks like a fret board has years of grim buildup even after cleaning it thoroughly. I feel like I am missing more stuff, but that's what you get when order a guitar on amazon.... I went ahead and replaced all 3 pots, new wiring, replaced the stock tuners with locking as yes this guitar does have issues with the bottom strings staying in tune and the lockers seemed to help a lot, and have spent hours trying to get a good setup. After all the drama, I absolutely LOVE this guitar. Aside from the dirty looking fretboard it really is a beauty in this blue finish and honestly plays and sounds fantastic if you can get it dialed in right.

I have a ESP Ltd MH-53 with the same pickups, and replaced them with Alnico 2's this made a big difference to the overbright sound of the guitar. As Jonathan said, lightweight construction and thin necks don't go well with bright pickups, if like me you want some body and warmth to your sound. ESP Ltd's are great guitars if you go for a midrange or higher models, entry level ones are still good to learn on, and far easier to play than Fenders.

Thank you kindly.. Check the description!!

I've got a LEFTY ec 256 4 years ago, in dark brown sunburst. The finish quality was superb. A couple of the inlays weren't glued right, plus it needed some fret leveling. Besides that the guitar sounded great, although the neck pickup was a little muddy to my ears , sometimes. As is, it's a very beautiful and quality guitar. After a year I decided to put a pair of USED Seymour Duncan's JB-59 and locking tuners. After this upgrade the guitar went to a different level. Now I have split coils, series-parallel, out of phase...so many different tones. It feels like a 1000 euros guitar, and plays like one. Overall it cost me around 700 euro's, including the fretwork and luthier fee and now I think I have a much more expensive guitar. For me it's much better than an epiphone or a cheap Gibson guitar. Only one thing I'm curious about. Compared to the Ec 1000... how is the quality? Why anyone should buy the ec 1000 if you can have the upgraded ec 256 with less money? If you ask me, the ec 256 are much greater guitars than the epiphones. Buy one and you won't regret it.

The Lemon Drop finish is commanding top dollar. I love it too. I dipped into the LTD 256 at half the price, a Faded Cherry . . . after setting it up it is a perfectly made guitar. The first electric I played was a 60's Gold Top . . . wow . . . like butter. Does the 256 match up? Well, no . . . unless you replace the 10's with 9's . . . maybe.

I also have an Epi LP and Schecter PT with splittable humbuckers and my Ltd 256 has a more distinctive and useful single coil sound than either of those. That surprised me. I like playing it as much or more than either too. Very easy to play and pretty comfortable on a strap. I play standing up mostly and I can wear a 256 for a couple hours without getting sore. A Les Paul usually has me moving the strap around after a while.

I got mine about 3 days ago, I just wanted a guitar to mess around with and take away with me if I went out of town or camping or whatever instead of taking my more expensive guitars. Im genuinely surprised by the quality of this inexpensive guitar, ive gone over it and I'm struggling to find any faults or build problems. The guitar seems to be staying in tune, the pickup selector is sturdy and the volume and tone controls are fitted well, it plays great straight out of the box. If I had to be super picky I'd say the pick-ups need to be changed at some point but in all honesty theyre nice for self branded pick-ups. This guitar punches well above its weight in my opinion, on top of that the guitar looks really nice, the flamed maple top is even better in person

I bought one of these yesterday. I like it very much overall. I didn’t think I’d need the coil split function but it sound quite nice. There is a significant volume drop in mine though, and I’d prefer a separate switch rather than a push-pull knob, which feels sturdy and nice though. I do have an issue with it going out of tune though, which I hope is due to newish sounding strings, and I think the intonation needs some fine tuning. Otherwise a really nice guitar. I might change pickups to something more typical LP later, as I also find these a tad too bright.
