ESP LTD EC-256 - Candy Apple Red Satin

If you're after a guitar that punches well above its price point, the LTD EC-256 is a clear standout. Featuring a classic single-cutaway design, this versatile model is built to handle a wide range of styles and genres with ease. Finished in a stunning Candy Apple Red Satin, the EC-256 blends eye-catching looks with performance-driven features typically found on much more expensive guitars.

It boasts a mahogany body and a three-piece mahogany neck with set-neck construction for excellent sustain and upper fret access. The rosewood fingerboard includes 22 extra-jumbo frets and ESP flag inlays, offering smooth playability and classic styling. The thin "U" neck profile feels fast and comfortable in any playing position.

The EC-256 comes equipped with a pair of ESP Designed LH-150 humbuckers—now updated with sleek matte black covers—for a powerful, punchy tone that suits everything from blues to hard rock. A push-pull tone knob adds single-coil versatility, giving you even more tonal options on the fly.

Additional premium touches include binding on the body, neck, and headstock, as well as a reliable Tune-o-Matic bridge and tailpiece setup and LTD tuners for stable, accurate tuning.

This item is a "B-Stock Guitar" directly purchased from the manufacturer ESP/LTD. It is NEW Stock that has never been owned. Pictures are of the actual guitar you will receive.

A "B-Stock Guitar" is a guitar that won't have structural or playability issues but could possibly have some particular minor cosmetic flaw which can keep it from passing the rigorous inspection process put in place by the guitar manufacturer. These guitars do not come with manufacture warranty.

on this guitar I personally did not see the blemish. However, just because I did not notice it does not mean there is not a small cosmetic flaw somewhere on the guitar. This was sold to us as a B-Stock for a reason where ever that reason is it is small in nature. (see pictures)
