Beautiful, solid, gets the job done
necromanager 07.03.2020
I moved temporarily overseas and left my guitars in storage, but soon found I had to have one around the house. I had only had super strats before, but now desired something simple and reliable, no tremolo to be able to quickly switch tunings & a bit metal. I found the EC-256 to be exactly what I was looking for. I was initially thrown off a bit by how much fatter the neck is at the headstock than my old Jackson, but I quickly got used to it.

I need to dock one star from quality since there is a very slight rough patch at the edge of the fretboard on the low E string right next to the nut. It's more of a cosmetic problem than anything else since I at least never keep my thumb there. Other than that I am very satisfied with everything.

Awesome guitar
Zwits 13.12.2020
Its an awesome guitar, the pickups really bite and sound very clear. really has a nice sound to it when playing metal.
Only problem I personally had with it was the balance. it tended to fall over backwards when I played it on my right leg. my friend bought it off me who plays in a band and is a better guitarist than me and he had literally no problem with that at all. It was also my first time really playing a single cut model and im used to 2 ST models, so it might be just a personal thing, but he always plays with the guitar on his left leg, so.
all and all, awesome guitar.

Amazing price for amazing quality
Holming 04.06.2024
This is the second guitar I have ever bought, and I am more than satisfied. I was looking for a guitar with a more heavy, spacious and blues-n-metal like sound, and this guitar more than delivered that. Even with just a Boss Katana II amp, this thing sounds absolutely amazing, and the price is crazy cheap compared to what you get. 10/10.

Rockbrett vom Feinsten!
RobertRobert 15.07.2021
Zuerst: Was für ein Finish! Black Satin sieht nicht nur so aus, es fühlt sich auch so an! Glatt und geschmeidig, so schnell glitt meine Hand noch nie am Hals entlang!

Nun zum anderen: Die Gitarre ist tatsächlich (wie man bei LTD sowieso vermutet) eher im härteren Bereich zu Hause. Die Tonabnehmer sind unverzeihlich hot und Pinched Harmonics haben mir nie mehr Spaß gemacht als hier.

Das hat natürlich sein gutes in den harten Gefilden, im cleanen Bereich sollte man etwas sanfter zuschlagen, weil die Pickups unbedingt crunchen wollen. Dennoch handelt es sich um einen schönen sterilen Clean-Ton.

Ich hatte bisher noch nie so gute Tuner, die keine Locking Tuner waren, Respekt! Nach Tagen von Temperaturschwankungen, musste ich kaum nachstimmen, und wenn, geht es schön einfach ohne große Sprünge oder Knacken.

Der Coil-Split ist wie immer eine nette Dreingabe, hat aber (meines Geschmacks nach) keine Notwendigkeit, außer bei der Mittelposition der Pickups, da klingt es schön voll, wenn man clean plus ein Haufen Effekte spielt.

Fazit: Eine harte Axt, die man nicht mehr weglegen mag!
